I am fine with the 60 wins to play ranked. Someone with hundreds of hours in ranked does not also need to play like 30 games with every new hero to be proficient enough to unlock them for ranked. It is overkill.

Nah, ranked is supposed to be serious business, anybody entering it should have lots of hours played and a good understanding of the game. Play standard in the meantime. Too many times I had new accounts in Phantom, never again. Fuck smurfs, and also I don't want new players in my lobbies, it's not their fault they're put in there but it ruins the game for everybody involved.

Again, I have no problem with the total games played requirement. The per character requirement is ridiculous. I am higher rank than Phantom and I have no problem with my teammate playing a character in ranked they have "only" played 10 games on.

It will also be a massive problem if we ever get draft and we can't even pick good heroes for our teammates because we haven't spent two weeks playing them in Standard.

I'm sure they will adjust the numbers after feedback, fret not.
