Rank system is messed up.

The ranked system is so bad in this game, Rito just doesn't want people to get better unless they waste their life. So what Im getting at is that the ranked system should be more balanced in the way with experience not just ranking elo. For example people who have 1000+ games and are stuck in bronze and silver, get absolutely nothing. I know if they just threw in experience ranking randomly ranked would be messed up for a bit, but it would eventually balance out and be better.

After playing the game for so long, I don't even think Diamond solo queue is good. When playing with an actually team you know and being in a team voice chat the game is completely different.

No, it totally makes sense to put fresh level 30s who just finished placement matches, have no runes, and only know how to play Teemo (any role) into games with people who have hundreds of ranked games under their belts and are trying to climb. /sarcasm

Honestly if you have 1000+ games and are stuck in bronze and silver, you aren't playing in a way that allows you to be higher then that. If you actually have 1000 games, you should have at LEAST enough generic understanding of the game that if you put in the right amount of effort, you'd be able to go up higher.

Also, your ranking doesn't matter too much. I'm a gold, but I can beat plats/diamonds to some degree, as ADC at least as that is what I specialize in. The real difference is that they actually put in the time and effort to get to that division, whereas I just put in my 10ish games to get my ranked rewards. Being in a higher tier/division usually starts coming down to a lot of little things. In general everyone can play champions to a certain degree once they reach any level of play. It comes down to how you push your advantages, how well you CS, when do you roam, when to gank, when to trade, etc... . It boils down to all of these little things that add up that when done consistently, usually means the difference between a good player and a GREAT player. You can possibly do all this perfectly in one game, but being able to do it constantly over a larger number of games is what makes up this difference in skill. That is what higher ranked players have, just consistency.

Role specialization is one thing too. I mean I am confident in my ADC, but I know for SURE that I will easily be out jungled and get crushed pretty hard in TOP/MID as I don't know how the matchups work in lane.

problem with the ranking system is 2 things. 1 its solo/duo for example if the game mode is solo/duo make it so my LP increase and decrease in not effected by my team entirely. if i go positive do very good in the game only person not to be like 1/11 or someshit and we lose i should only lose a small amount like 10 or lower. but instead you know, blue side 19-24 red side 16-20. same with wins if i do amazing in a game i should get a high amount on either side instead of like 15 blue side 19-20 on red side.

on that note what they should do it make it even. you win a game 20 LP. you lose and game you lose 20 LP. that would make it so much better none of this getting to like 97-99 LP but then losing 21 having to play 2 more games to get back up there if it was even 20 you would get to series at a good pace and it would be fair to if i play 3 games lose first 1 win the next 2 i will be at 40 LP. 1 win i get 20 lp lose next back to 0 win next back to 20. instead of the blue side victory woo 15 points on no i lost on blue side next game lose 21 yay blue side victory back to 15. so assuming i was at something like 50 to start out with i would have ended up gaining only gaining 9 LP.

For example people who have 1000+ games and are stuck in bronze and silver, get absolutely nothing.

I would hope that they got the enjoyment of playing a game they like over 1000 times. Your post is rather unclear about what you want changed. Do you want people to get rewards based on how many games they play? IE play 100, 250, 500, etc games this season to unlock the end of season rewards? As another person said in this thread if someone has played 1000+ ranked games in a single season it is very very likely that they are exactly where they are suppose to be.
