The suggesting is the last few sentences but i gave background and reasoning for my complaint and solution :)

Hello fellow summoners. I am an avid player of this game and I care a lot about the successfulness of the game and franchise in general. I have a few personal complaints i would like to address that may seem redundant but I would like to provide an alternate view to the situation. I have played League of legends for 3 and a half years now and I dislike the ranking system a lot mainly for the lower tiers. I understand that this a team game and players need to work together to win and be successful; however, I am currently bronze 3 and feel as if i have been stuck in that rank for ages despite my efforts. In season 5 i was able to get myself out of bronze and into silver 5. I am trying to rank up so i can learn adn get better at the game, but if i am stuck at the lower tier i cannot improve. I have done self improvement though. I watch videos, i study esports games, and i look at builds and strategize and actual game plan. I have tried so hard to get myself out of bronze that I learned new positions. I started off top adn realize adc's make a great impact. I learned adcs just so i can get out of bronze. I have found adc to be my best roll and has become my main but I am currently learning jungle now to see if that can make a greater imapct. I have tried everything to self improve myself and it has work. I can see my game sense, farming, map awareness, and technical skill improve., but i still stay in the same low rank. This is a team game and I need teammates to be as decent as well to be abel to win. i have found sometimes that i do well/exceptional in lane, but the lower tier mind set of my teammates lead to me not being able to carry. I have learned and gained skills to try too carry a game just to get out of bronze, but my teamates cannot fulfill there roll and it makes the game impossible to win. I am writing this post now to demonstrate some flaws in the ranking system. Players that try to self improve, try to make themselves better, try to learn the game, try their best to understand the mechanics and thinking that goes into winning are not being rewarded for their hard world. The only way foe lower tier players to get out of bronze is to have decent teammates. In the lower tiers, there are rarley ever close games. It;s always on the extreme side. Players either completely dominate lane or get dominated making games very one sided. The players that try their hardest and still lose due to teammates feel as if they cannot do anything to get out of their tier. For those who say just play normals, it's the same situation their. My rank affects the type of teammates i have. Honestly this lower tier trap has made me lose some interest in the game because i feel as if there is no hope of getting out instead only with a lot of luck. I propose a new ranking system where players can gain lp based on there rank letter after the game. Obviously the team that wins gain lp but i feel on the losing side if they get a high enough letter tank they should gain a little lp as well. I am suggesting withing the ranges of A- to S+. The lp amount they should gain though should only range from 1-8 not too much. I want people who win to actually gain the LP they deserve but also the hard working players on the losing side to gain some lp as well. I feel as this would rewards those that try their hardest to win and tried to improve themselves to get better but lose because luck is not their side. I have learned that in league of legends ranking in lower tiers, you need teamwork, communication, skill, and a lot of luck. I just want to decrease the luck it need to get out of the lower tiers. This would not only improve the amount of those that play rank, but also reward those and keep those players happy that put in effort to get out of the lower tiers to get better at the game.
