Solution to ranked imo

No doubt many of us play ranked. And with ranked comes certain frustrations. We all know them and love them. So first off let me list what I've seen as a concise census of what goes wrong in ranked then pose the solution that i think would help alleviate the problems.

Ill try to keep it short.

  1. Players with no exp on a champ playing ranked.
  2. Smurfs to some extent
  3. Afk players
  4. players that don't have the team mentality...for example a. Jugglers that are interested in there own KDA, farming, or not helping there team. b. players who just don't communicate , ie mute all , ignore pings
  5. Players that just don't try for objectives
  6. Toxic players that verbally abuse people then the people who say something get banned, or such by RIOT.
  7. Players who blame others for there own bad performance.
  8. Feeders and griefers.
  9. boosters with multiple accounts..hell Ive been solicited for money to be boosted on this game. Just to name a few.

In the course of this last year I've met some players that shouldn't be in the league ranking that they are in. My question is how does one truly go higher when 9/10 games no matter how hard they try the team loses. Either by what 's quoted above or just generally bad luck of the draw on who you get paired up with.

I've watched you tubes, how to escape ELO hell. Watch all the vids and such to be a better player etc. But it all comes back to what was stated above.

Now the solution.

I think Rank could be fixed for those who should be higher this way. Keeping the team bonuses intact RIOT could do this to fix the current problem. They could make it where your LP gain or loss is based off of your KDA to some extent. Like if you played your heart out and had 26/5/13. You should go up a few lp ( no more than max 5Lp) But you would get full lp gain if you win. If you fed or just are really bad and had a 1/15/2 then you would be double penalized LP when your team loses or your lp gain would be lower like 5lp instead of 17. I think that if this system was put into place then i think people would float to the correct rank and it would keep the worst of the worst or what you see in wood league at the bottom. I also think that if this happened it would populate the higher tears with more players that would give the top tier players a run for their money. Not only that the game would attract more players which would mean more money for RIOTS pockets. Second is dont allow people to play ranked until they have minimum of 50k exp with that char. This would stop smurfs and low level people from playing ranked and prevent them from wasting players time on a lost game

Please feel free to discuss the above id like to know. AND BY DISCUSS IS actually talk about it constructively not just sling insults, troll, or be toxic. (Sad i have to say that but some people are toxic behind the veil of anonymity) Remember this is just an opinion and TBH i dont think RIOT will ever change it. SO that being said keep your heads up everyone and dont get tilted.

I mean, wouldn’t that make everyone a KDA player? If a team is losing, why bother getting objectives to try and win instead of just going for kills?

Also, if I’m heavily counted picked or I get dived by my laner and the enemy jungler multiple times, I should get punished with more LP loss for that?

I see what you mean. Maybe if lp loss if your the only one that is what considered to be feeding. Maybe if you surpass the average of team deaths per person. like if your 4 other teammates only die like 5 times and your rocking 20. Then with that countered or no your making bad decisions that get you killed. I mean penalize those that either feeding or making such bad decisions that they thru there actions hand the other team a win. If the neg lp thing happened then that bad player would be forced to a more skill appropriate rank.

Yes, make people who get camped be even more frustrated and those who only play for KDA be even more selfish than ever. Great idea!

Not exactly what i meant but i see your point both you and 4g. I didnt say i had the exact solution. It just feels frustrating when you know that you should be higher rank but your setup to fail before you even start. Makes the game feel really rigged against you.

I used to feel that way until I ran some numbers. Feeder bad teammates vs enemy odds for feeder baddies. I am always favored to win more games from shitty players then I am to lose them via probability odds. 10 players, 2 teams, 5 per team, 100% your on your team. 9 slots. 4 for my team getting the worst and 5 for their team.

I only ever stand to win more games from baddies then I do from weak teammates.
