Ideas for improving Ranked in season 8
Hellow, first I want to say that these are just my suggestions, feel free to comment, agree or disagree, but don't jump the horse and keep it civilized, ok?
As we all know, bellow a certain elo, winning depends less on your skill and more on the luck with team mates, so here are a few suggestions that me and a friend of mine came up with that will help improve ranked, even if just a little:
-
Same autofilled role for both team - That one is self explanatory. If my jungle is autofilled, then the enemy jungler should be autofilled as well, to prevent a one sided game because the enemy has no autofilled players while my team has a role that is quite important (or more than just 1 role) with players who are bad there. If both teams have the same disadvantage when it comes to being autofilled, players get a better grip of the game through their own skill, rather than "who has more autofilled players"
-
If there are different ranks in a match, they will have the same role on both teams - Same as with the autofill, say both teams have 4 silvers and 1 bronze. My team's bronze is going adc, while the enemy team's bronze is top. Obviously that the team with the bronze adc has a higher chance to lose simply because adc has more impact than top, but if both adcs or tops are bronze, then again, all other roles and players have the benefit of a fair game.
-
Bring back the Tribunal - This was my friend's suggestion, and since I don't know much about it, but from his understanding, it will be a bigger benefit if Riot would allow both pre-game and the match be recorded, and if a number of 3 or more reports are issued against a single player, the recording is given to the public to see if the player deserves a punishment and what punishment. If the 3 reports minimum is not met, the recording is deleted after all players leave the lobby.
-
Eliminate duo que from solo que and let solo be only solo - This one is obvious again. Having 2 people que together gives then an advantage which the other team may not have (voice chat via discord/skype), and also allows them to have an easier lane if the duo is mid-jg for example, ensuring that if the enemy isn't duo as well, or willing to help his midlaner, that lane is done, which will just make the enemy midlaner flame his jungler (in lower brackets) and ensure his team is going to lose more frequently. A solution for this is have 3 ranked settings:
- solo que
- party que for 2+3, meaning you can only que as a party of 2 or 3, and the other players will be the matching party of 2 or 3
- 5 man party All others removed, since they are not needed, and the problem with having an unfair number of duos in a team compared to the other is fixed.
Yes, I know role swapping exists, but overall, the number of games in which is done by both teams will be equal, and thus ensure a better game.
Again, these are my suggestions, feel free to agree or disagree, but please stay civilized.
