How to clean up Ranked play

Riot Games Should make a mandatory age restriction for ranked games. Ive been in bronze division for two years now and cannot get out because i always wind up getting kids on my team and they throw 5 games in a row. My longest winning streak is 7 games i should be a gold player but like the rest of people in bronze the kids are putting us through elo hell. Also they should also put a mastery restriction on ranked games so that the adults dont try and learn champs in ranked play. Im sure everyone in bronze has had someone go first time a champ in ranked then feed all game. Their mastery level should be four or better so when it loads your ranked match it would show all level 4 and level 5 mastery. These two components would actually create a lifelike RANKED system where the bronze players are bronze because they are not very good and the gold players can actually make it to gold. If its RANKED why cant we improve our ranking when our scores are always in the positives. Also, Toxic Players would be minimized if players could only file reports in ranked. This would also make the tribunals burden less burdensome. BYe cleaning up ranked the reports would be at an all time minimum plus it would reduce toxic like behaviour. Finally, elo should reflect individual performance if our team loses we still lose elo but not as much if we werent the ones having the bad game. The introduction of scores at the ends of games makes this possible now. For an S ranked win or D ranked loss they should gain/lose 25 elo points. For an A ranked win or C ranked loss they should gain/lose 20 elo points. For a B ranked win or B ranked loss they should gain/lose 15 elo points. For a C ranked win or A ranked loss they should gain/lose 10 elo points. For a D ranked win or S ranked loss they should gain/lose 5 elo points. This would give way better stability to the elo system so that way people can be properly ranked. Enough of this getting an S win and an S loss but only gaining 13 elo but losing 23 elo. Bye the new sytem they would gain 25 points but only lose 5 points. This type of grading system would be flawless.

you aren't gold, you're in bronze because of how you play. just out of curiosity, I checked some of your games out and you are running clarity and tp. I can see why you are still in bronze.

Im not saying there shold be no noobs or bad players what im talking about is cleaning it up how does this compnay expect to make money if people cant even play a legitimate ranked game. Im not saying there wont be bad players im just saying that it would clean up the site and boost revenue generation. Trust me some of these kids are so bad that you could go 30-9 (trust me i have) and still lose the game because the kids dont want to group. One person alone cannot carry the team i dont care what you have to say its a team game. Once again im not saying there wont be bad players(trust me some are b5 for life) Im just saying if they clean it up it will be a lot less hellacious for the paying customers.( trust me i know ive spent 300$ and will not spend one more cent til they clean up ranked).

If Riot Games is a legitimate company they need revenues. Its the adults that spend lots of money on LoL. They should clean up the site a little if they want paying customers to spend 2 cents on this site. Right now its not being run like a legitimate business. You dont want all your paying customers to pay money just to babysit a bunch of kids while you lose your match. One its not any fun babysitting, and two if your babysitting you should be the one getting paid. Ive got news for you noone would spend money just to babysit a bunch of kids while they lose ranked matches. Riot Gamess business model stinks. You dont want your high paying customers to be harrassed by mouthy kids or teenagers. It just doesnt make sense. How would they expect to make money if all their customers are being harrassed all the time. I know the tribunal works to clean it up but it takes months or years to get rid of one mouthy player on their site (trust me i know i was abused bye a kid and stopped spending money on the game.) Bye the time the tribunal cleans up ranked more issues have occurred and all the paying customers are gone. Also if someone tries to claim that its a free to play game. How do they pay all thier employees it atkes revenues and the current business model generates no new revenues and losses all its current revenues. With the cureent business model Riot Games will be bankrupt in no time then noone will be playing this game and getting harrased bye mouthy kids and teenagers.

You must be a kid im in bronze only because of the people i play with I notice that yous are all dodging the subject

I know so far the kids of LoL have posted because they are all dodging the fact that ranked play needs to be corrected. I can tell because there is several posts about how bad ranked play is. For one Clarity and Teleport is an amazing combo if youve tried it noob children. Adults try and find all the strategys and all the components of a good match dont knock Clarity and teleport til youve tried it. Teleport and Clarity allows you to keep pressure down a lane for as long as possible it allows you to keep the pressure going until you take down the inhibitor. Clarity is a must for high mp champions like morgana who is my main support. Also teleport gives good map coverage and allows you to both put pressure on a lane and also to defend turrets. However children dont understand this. Once the pressure down a lane has been applied if you run out of mana you dont need to recall you just use clarity and maintain the pressure down the lane for mp supports this is a must. However toxic children also try and say that heal barrrier is a noob combo. Its not. Heal barrier is for 1v1 battles to give you an edge early on allowing yourself to get more fed. Children also dont understand that a supports role is not to purchase sightstones but to get the ally team fed with lots of kills. This does not change even late game where the supports job is to support the team in team fights. A good support with a good damage build or good tank build can keep the whole ally team alive in teamfights. Sightstones is just a wasted space in your inventory. To be honest in a teamfight Id rather my sona dealing lots of damage then running around warding. Thats why people purchase trinkets. Finally all professional sports have an age restriction. Any sport has a age requirement of 18 to play professional sports. If Riot Games wants this game to be a professional sport an age restriction on ranked games is a must.
