Why's everyone asking for a ranked reset?

This is a genuine question. I've read a few articles but I'm not really finding a clear explanation on the whole problem. I understand that lots of people are higher ranked than they should be, but that's about it.

Is this an issue at my elo as well? I'm currently Gold 1, finished Gold 5 last year. It has me paranoid that I'm higher than I should be lol

And if riot DOES reset ranked, does that just mean everyone will redo placements and have new mmr, etc? or what?

Apparently, some people have figured out how to exploit the ranked system or something like that. Also, people are having to verse players with either a much higher or lower rank than them. For example, games can look like this. D1 vs Plat 4 Plat 2 vs D3 D5 vs Master Gold 3 vs D4 Plat 1 vs Gold 4

Obviously, you can see how this is a pretty big problem. I just hope if they do do a ranked reset they don't just go back to the old system. I am actually enjoying this new system and am having the most fun in ranked that I have ever had. Now if they could only fix the trolls in my bronze 3 games so I can actually climb. lol

The issue with certain people is that the matchmaking that riot is giving us is garbage. Before when I was Silver 3 I would only play with Silver 4-2 (unless duos are involved). Now in this season I'm Silver 2 and I'm facing everyone from Silver 2 to Bronze 1. Everything is becoming a mess and its very very difficult for me to climb now thanks to this

Riot did a sloppy job with positional ranking, and so when people were grinding up they were gaining huge amounts of LP with little to no explanation as to why. A lot of players were getting +30/-8 LP even in Master tier at the beginning of the season.

So what ended up happening with the really lax MMR requirements for people to be matched together plus huge gains meant a lot of people were getting these crazy lucky streaks into Master and since that didn't change for a good 1-2 weeks the match quality in high elo is not particularly good.

Idk if it's different for low elo.

People want ranked reset because many people are in ELO's they don't deserve.

S8 D5's in High Master/Grandmaster etc.
