Only people who work their way to the final level should have the opportunity to play for rank. No matter how a game is designed, skill can't be given. This level limit encourages people to develop the skills necessary to be a good team member, and a viable asset in battle. I completely support this, even though I myself haven't reached 30, it just urges me to spend money and play harder. Monocle smile.

i have to say. if you didnt bring out the graph i would of quit. i was so mad cuz i had to grind to get to 20.... im lvl 19 and was hoping to do my first ranked match today but nope now i got a couple weeks to go and i have to say i believe the leave rate. but the win rate part i dont see how thats possible it seems it would have to even out somewhere im 19 and ive never had more losses than wins and ive heard about many others having the same records. if people are only wining 32% of the time some1 else is winning the other 68% so how can that b e possible? if you would like to explain you can email me or leave a post

This is so disheartening that Riot would do this... so for the people who don't have time to sit in front of a computer and Grind out to 30 ... get shafted of having decent gameplay why? because of whining 30's? i mean really?!

what's the point of playing now? since the only real competition was in ranked matches, normal mode is just practice and "try out my new champ/build" mode ... fail if you ask me... but as they say ... Squeaky wheel......

At least start a U-30 Ranked option or something, don't just give people ranked and then take it away from them...

It means lower level people in ranked games are not experienced enough to compete effectively and they win only 35% of their ranked games.

This has gotta be the first time I'm geniunely mad at Riot for what they've done. I'm level 27, not 30, it's gonna take me probably 3 weeks to get to level 30 unless I power level. I want to play ranked games. I'm not a leaver, I have friends who can back this up. I basically have a full runesheet, and I'm a competent player at my level. I really have to say, F*ck this sh*t. F*ck this total b*llsh*t move on Riot's part.
