Question, Lyte.

Why not take the code from when a premade friend dodges that sends you back to the lobby and put it where it's supposed to give you a random champion?

We can look at any data we possibly want because we record all the data live directly from the game servers.

You personally might not leave a game because you play a F2P Champion, but you are 1 person in a game with millions and millions of other players. When we look at every single game in League of Legends and look at every single player, we see the statistics Yegg posted.

ok im not gonna argue with you about this because i dont think 100% of the lol playerbase play ranked games.

Something i dont understand is, when someone dodge after the ban and pick phase, the next match is with the same 9 players, sometime the system swap one player. why? why the system dont random all the players again? both team know what champion to ban because 98% of the time the system group up the same players.

the biggest issue i've seen is people in ranked having no freaking clue what they're doing

i would recommend forcing people to play ~300 normal wins before they are allowed to queue up for ranked

this way they will have enough runes and rune pages, champions and experience to play at a competitive level

too many people around ~1200 elo can't even last hit and farm... they have no concept of team fighting and do extremely poorly... more often than not costing their team the game.

i believe this would alleviate a lot of the "elo hell" complaining and make ranked a much more pleasant place for the good players getting stuck due to having noobs on their teams

Another criteria in which to examine F2P Champions on ranked would be to look at the play time of each ranked player. Players with a lot of games played would have access to the F2P Champions many times and could skew some of your numbers (it would probably make allowing F2P Champions in ranked look even worse if you removed such players). Something else to add into the statistics would be player elo. I'm sure the numbers for higher elo players is not as bad as those in the lower levels.

I'm sorry if this idea has been posted before, I do not have the time to go through 173 pages to find it.

Why not have a system that when you queue up for ranked you can pick your three best roles (Top, Mid, Jungle, Bot, Support). In Champion Select it would have the icons next to your name. It would be similar to WoWs Dungeon finder, in that if you can play support your queues would be much quicker.

In order to combat people just saying they could support to get faster queues, maybe their could be a very small IP bonus to playing the role that you picked as your 'best'.

Why don't you implement all of these updates? Obviously people want them all gone.

"A teammate fielding a champion he doesn’t own is 62% more likely to leave the game."

That statistic. I would presume it speaks more to the person who would play ranked with a champion they have never used then the actual pick itself.

I would say that person would probably leave a game just as often when things don't go in their favor. It just happens that things don't go in that persons favor 62% more often with a champion they don't know how to use. That would be a person you wouldn't want in ranked.

That type of person has no care or concept of consequence. They are just playing for themselves. Not team orientated in the least.
