Broken Ranked... Every game has iron and gold...
I'm not an amazing player obviously, but gold 4 last season, won 8/10 placement games with As and Ss all 8 wins, carried team HARD. Placed in bronze... Okay well dumb but w/e. Problem is now EVERY game I have 1-2 people in legit iron and even they think they belong there. And 1-2 people who were also gold last season and know how to play.
Now every game my team rages at the Irons (even I feel bad for them) and either we win in 15 or we lose in 15. Maybe Riot wants to learn from their coin flip BS mistakes for once and not make things worse than ever? Removed win streaks for going up faster in placements too... If I won 10/10 I might have been in bronze 1... Just not fun having half both teams feeling lost cause they are playing with so many people who don't belong in that rank.
This is ALMOST as mean to the more casual players as adding Aphelious was. Not quite as mean, but almost.
------------------------Addition to my argument :)---------------------------------------
I think I read from Riot that 50% of players belong and stay forever in Iron/Bronze. If every season those from silver and gold re-enter their ranks and then get pissed at them for having 0 map awareness and perma-inting because they are still learning (or just want to play more casually), it is going to make them very sad. That is much worse than making higher level players mad, because sad players will leave for good and never want to learn and get better.
