Season 10 is a mess and ranked system needs to be updated/overhauled.
Okay, let me start by saying that season 10 ranked is a complete mess, due to grandmaster being added in season 9. There is this species of players, that got inflated to diamond and plat, in season 9. And now they reak havoc in soloq. It was completely fine back then when they were in silver and gold with 10k games and 48% win rate, you saw them once in a while playing on your smurfs, but now they are everywhere and they cant demote to their ranks because. With the current ranked system, you legit can't demote if you are diamond 4 or below. (you can have a 30% win rate in d4 0lp and still not demote).
Enough of me ranting and crying. I actually have some ideas for better improvement of ranked experience and making it more competitive.
-
Make a separate server/queue for people that have thousands of games and have a negative win rate. So you don't get them while having 50 games and a positive win rate. Like really if you have 1k plus games with win rate under 50% being in d4/d2, take a stop from league you will be grateful.

Get rid of auto-fill ffs, I would rather wait 10mins for a game and know I get people that play their lanes and not 4 jungle mains.

League of legends has stats you can see after your games, yes. So make a ranked system that is based on player stats not shitty coin flip lp grinding system.
Look at csgo and how they use stats instead of wins and looses if you're not familiar you can lose game of cs and still rank up. And that is because it looks at your individual stats and comparing them to the rest of your team and enemy team.
So my dilemma comes here why the F do we have all these stats if they don't matter you can play support, and you have great vision score, healing done, cc, damage absorbed, stuff like that and it really doesn't matter. Shouldn't players be rewarded for playing better than rest of their team no matter if they lose or win?
I get it's not that easy to code, implement and all that but holy moly valve has been doing it for years and only improving their system. But I guess riot is a small indie company
But really if you think about it would a ranked system that looks at your skill and stats be better Than what we currently have. Where when you reach a certain point of your ladder games become more of a coin flip and individual skill doesn't matter because one player can decide if you lose or win a game.
Aite ama head out pls no hate dont shoot the messenger
