Idea how to improve ranked experience

Hello Everyone!

Just like most of you I find ranked to be very frustrating to play, and I got an idea how to improve it.

Everyone meets toxic people, trolls, intentional feeders, auto-filled full damage supports, flamers and time to time a decent team. Those are annoying and frustrating BUT they are not in every game.

What is in every game that is very frustrating is the bad hidden MMR system which most of the time results in lower skill level teammates and strong opponents (same skill level or higher) combined with the shitty forced 50 % winrate at all times.

MMR system is justified as you should be able to carry your team. This is wrong method.

**Here is the reason why: **

  • if your teammate is bad he do not deserve the victory
  • the odds are against you since the game expects you to carry teammates that are a burden
  • the current damage meta makes comebacks almost impossible
  • people are generally bad at decision making they throw games even if you manage to take a lead(not enough experience to know what to do)
  • people like to feel special and locks in bad teamcomp champions. (full ad team with no cc)
  • If the enemy notices you are the 1 that is the most capable player then you will get focused in teamfights which results in a guaranteed loose
  • most of the time your time is wasted on a lost game the 15 minute surrender does not work when you have at least 1 troll/toxic teammate
  • the 20 min surrender wont work either if the toxic teammate also got a duo partner
  • you get a decent lane opponent who is not stupid to overfeed you and manages to make the lane even or you are camped all game meanwhile your teammate is dying for the 5th time in 5 minutes, it does not matter if you are overall better player then the enemy who got fed, you will get deleted.
  • I do not like getting carried, I feel bad for winning when I know my opponent was better then me.(exception is when camped by jungler all game)
  • When I loose I do not feel outplayed. I only feel that I was unlucky with my teammates. You are having a good time doing decently around 10 minute mark at top 4 0 0 with good farm and you check the stats and see everyone else with similar KDA 0 5 0, 1 5 0 , 0 3 1 and so on.
  • Sometimes I am lucky/play well and manage to kill both my lane opponent and the camping jungler (literally 1 vs 2 for 10 minutes with something like 5 2 0) and my team still manages to feed in 4 vs 3. Then I meet the 12 0 3 enemy Draven that kills me with 1-3 basic attacks while healing any damage I try to dish out.
  • problems in silver newbies are paired with you from unranked.(= insta loose) Everyone should start from bronze and climb up from there
  • Lots of people are boosted or playing with ebay accounts.

Every time I loose a game which was not my fault I loose part of my patience and human decency turning me from a neutral player to a toxic flamer. I do not want to be toxic but this unfair system takes out the worst of me. Just as my fun was shattered by this toxic generating system, I also take this toxicity with me for the next games and ruin other players fun as well, which results in a chain reaction that leads to even more toxicity. Toxicity comes in many forms I only flame but others might take it further by intentionally feeding, troll picking, afking, flaming all game.

The forced 50 % winrate

This is the most insane idea ever created in a team based game. You are a good player who wins a lot instead of getting your deserved rank you are given trash players.(afks, trolls, noobs)

In the past many times I got enemies who were gold 3- gold 2 in my promo to gold 5. IF you are better then other silver 1 players then you should be gold 5. If you have a winning streak of 5+ you damn well deserve it and should not get instant 5 loose by providing trolls just to make sure you rot in 50 % winrate.

My idea of solution delete current ranked system and start from scratch. Most importantly take out the invisible MMR system and the forced loose mechanic of 50 % winrate.

A fair system would be this:

  • fair match (bronze 1 team vs bronze 1 team or silver 2 vs silver 2 team and so on)
  • to get out of bronze to silver you should be better then every bronze player by beating other bronze 1 enemies paired up with bronze 1 allies.
  • If you fear that people will boost each other then make 1 side of ranked SOLO only.
  • Make it so that you can easily loose you rank. (if you loose 5 games in gold 5 then you get demoted to silver 1)
  • Promos should not exist. I noticed that promos are lot harder by giving even stupider teammates.

I swear it was easier to climb from gold to platinum last seasons then to get out of silver in this 1.

A team game should be about fair match between 5 vs 5 teams.

Same potential = Same level of players playing together.

Side note : stop closing my threads every time you are bored green non rioters. THIS IS A MULTI layered discussion player behavior, idea to improve gameplay and perfecting my favorite game .

I am interested in what do you guys think or if you got better ideas.
