Universal Ranked System

I would like to see some system that ranks players for both normal and ARAM games.
Such as- All players are ranked into one of 20 tiers, biased on MMR. The ranking could update with every patch/maintenance downtime. Tiers would be % based MMR. so the bottom 5% are in the bottom tier, top 5% are in top tier - totaling 20 tiers. There would be a separate ranking for each game mode. Perhaps even some end of season rewards such as hextech crafting items.

"ohh look im sapphire tier in ARAM now; which is even better than my rating in normal games"

This is just my first thoughts on the idea, if anyone has ideas on how to improve upon this idea please share!!

I don't think it'd make sense for Normal games. After all, there's already Ranked queue(s) for showing off your rating. It could work for ARAM though, since that doesn't currently have a Ranked option.

Might also be worth considering changing the tiers away from flat chunks. There's greater skill variation near the edges than near the center. As a comparison, the top 5% in Ranked SR would roughly include everyone Plat and above. Meanwhile, towards the middle, Silver 5 would be about two "tiers" just by itself.
