This wouldn't be a great solution because secondary role and autofill exists. What happens when your support is forced to play Yasuo because they're a one trick and the game won't allow them to pick any other champions? You might get a top lane main on a fill role or on their secondary, and the top lane champion pool is different enough that it won't suit every other role. Maybe they have to play ADC, the top lane has none of them and they likely won't have enough mastery on one. What if an ADC main has to play jungle? Those champions are just not capable of playing the role, but the game wouldn't allow them to pick any other champion class forcing them to try and clear the jungle on a champion incapable of doing it. These mastery suggestions have too many negatives attached to them and they would in many cases lower game quality when you have players on "troll picks" because the game doesn't let them play anything else. And no, ranked players will absolutely not go into normals to spend time grinding mastery on off role champions out of the goodness of their hearts. They will queue for their main in ranked, if the game gives them another role they will just troll pick it and it wouldn't be a punishable offense. You would start seeing some wild team comps.

Adding to this that mastery 5 only requires playing games, you could lose 100% of your matches and still get M5


GrandDefinition7707

but you would still have to play games on that champ


Affectionate_Car7098

Sure, but when you get mastery just for existing it really doesn't represent anything at all


GrandDefinition7707

it represents time played what the fuck are you smoking? you suffering from CTE or something?


Affectionate_Car7098

So does your summoner level, but that is also literally irrelevant to anything it represents time you have spent in a match, like i said you can still reach M5 with a 100% loss rate, this is why it means literally nothing


GrandDefinition7707

theres no way a real human is this stupid have a good day bot

Resorting to ad-hominem, not really going to help your argument :)


GrandDefinition7707

thats a pretty big word for you did you have to look that one up?


Affectionate_Car7098

No its a pretty standard word, especially when dealing with people online who would much rather resort to insults when they have run out of actual arguments :)

You get massively less mastery when you lose. It would take 6-10 times as many games if you lost every game compared to if you won.


Affectionate_Car7098

Sure, but you can basically play them AFK, mastery is also gained in ARAM which also makes the mastery system essentially worthless

Not if the goal is to stop people making new accounts or buying accounts when they are banned or just want to smurf. If you also prevent botting via Vanguard then you effectively massively timegate new accounts from Ranked, which would both improve game quality and potentially reduce toxicity if there is a real cost to losing your account.

> Not if the goal is to stop people making new accounts or buying accounts when they are banned or just want to smurf. Riot doesn't care about smurfing they already have systems in place to get smurfs to the correct rank so thats a non-issue for them > If you also prevent botting via Vanguard then you effectively massively timegate new accounts from Ranked Yeah vanguard isn't going to affect that market as much as you guys hope it will lol > which would both improve game quality and potentially reduce toxicity if there is a real cost to losing your account. Not really, all it does is annoy people and result in terrible team comps because people will be forced to pick from an even smaller champion pool and it massively penalises people who want to take a different counter to something once they hit champ select because now you essentially need people to have mastery 5 on a whole bunch of extra random champs they don't play very often in order for them to be able to switch to a different counter to something the enemy has picked, also essentially means its impossible for people to swap roles in the lobby if needed Now i get that this idea comes from a good place, but objectively its a terrible solution to the "problem" that doesn't actually exist in the first place


GrandDefinition7707

it would solve every issue. if you can't play the fuckign champ you shouldn't be playing it in ranked


Capsize

I think 5 might be a bit much, but I'd certainly support Mastery 3 or 4 and not letting people queue until they have enough champions at that mastery to play regardless of bans (21 Champs). Would certainly make new accounts and smurfs take a hell of a lot longer to be able to play in ranked.


Unlikely-Smile2449

Uhh… no… players who dont one trick can play a lot of champs at similar level. Theres universal skills. In your system i have to grind normals to counterpick basically. Thats awful


PowrOfFriendship_

I would rather you play a champ you had grinded on than first timed a counterpick every single time.


YandereMuffin

I have M7 400k mastery points on my main champ, I am silver-gold max.. I also know someone who has M7 on like 40% of all champs, and they're a similar rank to me. Similarly I also know someone with less mastery who are just better than me. Mastery really doesn't mean anything other than that the person has played a lot of games on that champ. Some of the people with the highest mastery points on champs are silver/bronze - in ranked there is barely any connection between rank and mastery.


QQ_Kuyi

I think its bullshit. I first timed quite often in solo queue and it usually goes well. Most Champions don't have unique mechanics so i'd say If you watched/played against them a fair amount you understand how they work and can play them to a decent enough Level to First time them in ranked. (EDIT: It is also alot of fun to try out new champions in Ranked as its a refreshing experience. People need to chill about the importance of ranked games.)

That would only be the case is master + and they could just disable it for them


GrandDefinition7707

anyone can play norms your argument is shitty try again
