title says it. this may reduce player frustration/toxicity by improving ranked matches.
replace X with 5,6,7?
this way players would have to learn champs in norms/draft, before going into ranked with them.
They just need to disable new champs from being played in ranked for the first 2 weeks tbh
Maybe make the player play the character at least 5 times before going into a ranked game with it.
so you never do bad with champions you've played a lot? I'm assuming you're complaining about 'toxicity' because you and/or others get uppity with people who did poorly with what you assume is their first time with the champion.
The reason I ask is because you're 'trying' to solve something that frustrates you (that's on you to handle, not make sure no one does stuff that frustrates you) that won't solve it.
Not disable, just match us against people with champs of the same mastery. A mastery 3 Fizz vs a mastery 3 Heimerdinger, or Shaco, or Darius etc.
Nobody should have to mindlessly grind out games to get to play a champion they already do well with.
And that's not even considering the sheer luck required to actually get m7. M7 effectively requires your team doing well, you doing very well, and the enemy team not surrendering. 6/2/7 200. That's the score you need on Ahri mid for an S (combined with frequent warding, good turret damage, and buying control wards, obviously). Most enemy teams surrender before then, or you don't do that well because a lane lost and you won't win as hard as you need to, meaning it can take ages to get m7, and it's almost entirely luck-based. And at that point you might as well fucking play Warframe or some other game you need 20 of a 1% droprate item.
And anything that limits picks effectively guts any trades in champ select...
this would also reduce smurfing in ranked a little
as a player wouldn't as easily be able to play their champ on a smurf they just bought, without having to grind up mastery lvl
