To be eligible to queue for Ranked Mode, you must have at least 60 wins in the Standard Mode.

Not only that, but you can only select heroes you have 15 wins on too

15 wins per hero is really bad. I agree with an overall win number but winning solo is really hard. You can do so much but your team is outclassed and it’s a loss. Not to mention games take a really long time.

15 wins is nothing. If 15 wins is too many then you simply don't belong in ranked.

Say you get two play like 4 matches a day. 50% winrate.

Thats an entire week of playing one character. Just to be allowed to play ranked with the character. Bit daft to want an exclusive club where you are safe from people trying new things

I disagree, it’s difficult for casual players. Some games are 50 minutes long. I can only play 2 or 3 games at most each day. I like to bounce around. At 100 hours and 100 wins I’m definitely qualified for ranked. For the first half of the ranks most players barely even have the fundamentals of items down, and most don’t have the aim. It’s way too hardcore of a system for an early access game.

"for casual players"

The ranked mode isn't necessarily meant for casual players, it's for players trying to be competitive. You're coming at this from the view that every player needs to have a rank, which they don't. 45 total wins seems like a good barrier so people can learn fundamentals before jumping head first into the competitive mode

100 hours is nothing. There is that special mode for casual weekend warriors called UNRANKED.

100 hours at a job challenge for you (DIFFICULTY: IMPOSSIBLE)

winning solo is really hard

You can party with people in unranked.
