At long last! My dream of one day playing ranked matches without rage quitters has just been increased dramatically.

Know i'm gonna get downvoted to hell for this but i have found that my first few games with most champs i'm more likely to win for some reason.

I will be trialing this soon as i have just unlocked Varus and will play my 1st game with him in ranked later.

that would be a bigger change for the better than removing non owned champs in ranked games. +1.

+1 a million times. Keep it up Riot. Anything you guys can do to set the bar higher on entering ranked games is a plus to me. Thanks!

Personally, I would like to see at least a week, if not 2 week restriction on new champions, but with the high competitive teams probably wanting to solo queue them, even a day restriction would be better that it stands currently, at least IMO.

It's a really good idea, but I doubt it will reduce those %'s by much. There are still tons of players who will feed/leave using their own champs.


Still, some improvement is better than none.

I know a lot of players think this is a good idea; but realistically, the data suggests that newly released champions are usually not a problem if they are played in Ranked the same day of release.

For example, we have to take into account that many players already play newly released Champions in Normal first before they play Ranked.
