RIOT Tutorial/Ranked Update

webstar1995··2 votes·426 views

Riot needs to show players how to play since this game has a HUGE learning curve. Micro/Macro gameplay tutorials. Micro: I did not learn to attack move until I watched a YouTube video, and practiced in practice tool. Screen lock and auto attack should NEVER be turned on. Macro: if you ace the other team do not run dragon. Go get a couple towers and setup for dragon/baron and maybe bait. Or of course one tower and rush baron. There is so much to learn in this game. Without watching YouTube videos, watching pros on Twitch, or coaching players stay in Bronze or Silver because they just do not know how to play correctly to climb. item 3460 RIOT could have tutorials that have to be completed in order to play ranked. Instead of just level 30 and what? 15 champs? That takes about one month. This is not enough to learn how to play without tutorials, and I also think Bronze 1 MMR is where they should start NOT high silver. I am soon to be gold. My friends how are in gold still have players that are level 30-35 in their games that are not smurfs. This auto-loses the game about 75% of the time just because of the poor player not knowing what to do, or even not knowing the abilities of his opponent. item 3633 I would like some opinions and feedback from players and RIOTeers. What do you guys think?

Although I agree with you on the need for "updated" and "better" tutorials, I think that people who want to play ranked should get to play ranked.

It would also be cool to add a "challenge mode" with some scenarios picked by pro players where you have to make a game changing decision. This would be a good way to introduce macro concepts.

Ranked play already requires 20 champs (potential 10 bans, 10 players). Level 30 is still a bit of a grind. What new players NEED is an incentive to play SR games as they level to 30. I see a lot of new people grinding levels on TT.

''I think that people who want to play ranked should get to play ranked.''

Exept that on their first ranked games they are most likely going to lose and take 4 people with them wich overall just sparks toxic behavior and bad experience for everyone just because a noob decided to play ranked because he can and not because he was ready and well educated by the game during hes/hers 1-30 lvl climb.

I hate to break it to you, but bad play happens even with the best/most experienced players.

Toxic behavior happens from within, not without. Noobs can't gain ranked "experience" without playing ranked. It's not the player who is bad/new/having a rough game that causes toxic behavior. People with self-righteous/arrogant attitudes will be toxic and blame others for it.

As I have stated, I would like some updated tutorials and maybe some basic challenge modes to help better prepare people. I mean, buying Thornmail on ashe... Lol

But people doing bad, people being toxic, etc happens all the way up to challenger and even pros. Making it harder for people to start playing competitively won't change/help anything.

This is likely regardless...? If matched against more experienced players, they will likely lose.

They do need to stop putting new players in High Silver. The problem that arises though is smurfs would be put in High Brz and then just go and destroy people making ranked feel less fun. There is already a lot of smurfs, it would just add to the fire.

I think stronger ranked reqs need to be met which might also strangle some of the smurfs out, If someone wants to play ranked they should have to learn the game, it's something a tut isn't gonna teach you, experience will so I feel like people should need to have a certain amount of games played of normal SR to open ranked up. If Smurfs had to play a stupid amount of Normals they prolly wouldn't make as many smurfs.

This number of games would probably be attainable within the 30 levels yes? I think this would be a decent change, since most new people I see leveling their accounts are doing so on twisted trendline.

Surfs would probably suck it up and level up on the rift honestly. But I think this would help new players by getting them on the rift.

Eh If I got to choose the number it'd be around 500-1k Normal SR games but most people would consider that far to high.
