User blog comment:Usiar/Actual Gameplay Requirements for Ranked?/@comment-4098258-20130119221543

If people are unprepaired to play the champion they choose on the map they choose, they have a higher chance to lose. That way they have a lower ELO and get matched with other people who aren't playing well. Isn't that what ELO is for? Making people who are not yet good enough play against others who aren't?

If people recognize that they are not world class players but they still want to compete in ranked with only two roles with thee champions each, I say they should get to. (Not everyone who plays bad is a troll, or has much potential of getting better). Don't force them to play hundreds of extra games (for each map!) and buy runes they'll never use.

And if it's only about instalockers: those people are a problem for the team also if they have played many games. You can't force people to communicate like that. Also does it happen that much that you need to fck everyone to stop it?

So I am against restrictions. And if you make any, requiring people to play 640 games (at 50% win) in which they have no choice of champion as a very minimum to qualify seems very much excessive.
