Temporary LOCKING into a division, once you win your 3 games.
So I came up with an idea that could have a bunch of benefits for players around the world. This of course affects the mood of the players and how toxic players can NOT* be. Of course this solution is can only mitigate some of the players behavior, but in all senses, I believe to have more good come from it than bad.
We all know that road of climbing out of Bronze/Silver/Gold etc seems to have that Crab Bucket effect. Where a player is AFK the entire game or a player doesn't belong in ranked just quite yet and feeds a lot. For whatever reason RIGHT when you climb out of a division, those few bad games WILL bring you RIGHT back to where you started and with a worse LP score, worse KDA score, worse loss score, etc. You can see how this automatically will effect the mood of the player, into a "Negative Tilted" state of mind. "It wasn't my fault, those idiots shouldn't be playing in ranked, why should I fall a division because of an AFK???" Whatever the reasoning it leaves a negative lasting impression.
THE SOLUTION - The solution is simple, if a player managed to climb out of a certain division LOCK THEM IN TEMPORARILY (a Week for casual players).
Create a more friendly environment for the players who just climb out of a division, reward them, make them feel happy, make them feel safe, make their hard work recognized and appreciated. You devalue the system where it can take a person a week or even weeks to climb out of a division, and take it all away from them when they may or may not have control over it. You should value your players more and their experience, and everyone's experience in general. This creates a buffer shield for their mentality, state of mind and would definitely eradicate a lot of negative behavior for those who spend so much time working on climbing higher in rank and then fall immediately because of an AFK.
REASONING - If the player was obviously good enough to win his 3 games and climb out, what harm could the temporary lock in have??? If they climb out again GREAT! They deserve to be in that bracket, not punished for other peoples mistakes. If a person happened to climb out by fluke, then their lock in wouldn't have as harsh repercussions for all the other players involved. They would simply just fall back to where they started after their TEMPORARY LOCK IN. And only ever climb out once their game play mechanics improved.
THIS WOULD HELP THE GOOD PLAYERS CLIMB OUT OF RANK AND KEEP THE PLAYERS WHO NEED IMPROVEMENT WHERE THEY ARE.
THIS WOULD HELP SOLO QUE A LOT.
PS - Why does the game not recognize when a player is AFK more than 5-10 minutes??? Let the other 4 team members have an AFK VOTE, like Surrender only it can only appear if a champ has been AFK for more than 10-15 minutes. I'm sure the RIOT team could figure out a way so that players can't abuse this.
