A Better Match Making

So far, I like the recent new look of reporting players. I don't like that you can't report for unskilled, which leads me to believe that match making has changed (it certainly feels that way in the queue). I have my own suggestions.

-Part 1- Separate Player Pools The basic idea of this is to have players chose what type of queue they want to join. My initial thoughts were to have an option specifying if your looking for a competitive (non-ranked) game or a casual game (excluding ranked). This way people who don't care to win or lose can play with others looking for the same thing, while players who wanted more competitive (and presumingly serious players) get bunched together. This could be expanded but that is the basic idea.

-Part 2- Pick Me Ups The idea of this one is to help players on a losing streak get back into the game. A long losing streak can be detrimental to a players moral. So to counter this I propose that after a long losing streak (yet to be defined and probably reset after dodged games) the player will get a temporary random skin on the next champ they play. This does two things: 1) It can change things up, perhaps even give the player a reason to try again and a fresh mindset and possibly lessen there stress, 2) exposes them to skins if reducing payer stress and increasing the chances of return players isn't enough, then perhaps exposing them to the joys of skins and possibly influencing them to buy it will. They may really enjoy the skin and want to purchase it later.

-Part 3- Closing Notes It would be nice to have these implemented (and possibly having reporting for unskilled back). I believe that these ways would benefit both players and provide economic opportunity for LoL if "Pick Me Ups" (Part 2) was implemented. As well as provide more balance to match making.

You do realize that the reports for unskilled never mattered at all?

No player has ever been punished from being reported for being unskilled. The only thing that report option did was reduce the value of your real reports. The more you report the less impact your reports have.

No reason to keep it in the game.
