Ranked rewards in the new ranked system

So we dont have alot of information on the rewards part of the system for the new Ranked system that riot is planning on making but ive been mulling over a few concerns ive had.. like we will have victorious skins still but how will this new system effect Future victorious skins.. I personally think with this new system.. the rewards and all of that.. there will be to much..going on. like even tho the system will probably not work like this think..

say they decided to tie in say chromas to each que in system for each role.. Let alone Say things about Flex.. will the Flex system work like the new ranked system? if so if any rewards where tied into specific role ques that would be a massive issue to people who like to collect stuff like that.. bc there would be the whole SoloQ/duo que system with the 5 roles... and then if flex worked the same way that would be another 5.... not sure they are gonna do any ranked changed so Twisted treeline even tho tt needs alot to be done to it.. like i wish they removed the flex que from it.. and made it Strictly solo Q

hopefully a rioter sees this and can piece together what mumbling mess this is to get the picture im trying to draw up..

like i mostly play ranked just to generally collect the victorious skins..i dont bother to try and climb past gold just due to how i hate how some of the stuff works.. and now a days people have their hands tied with grinding soloQ and flex q to get to gold+ let alone.. the pain that is Twisted treeline..

They said somewhere they were only thinking of doing the role specific thing for solo/duo, so flex 5v5 and flex 3v3 would remain as usual (because in principle there you might actually be playing in a a full 5 man or 3 man team with dedicated roles).

Role specific rewards seems unlikely to me, considering master/challenger don't have individual ranks in roles, so rewards would likely be based on best across all roles, and the lesser roles are just for personal pride (and to help guide matchmaking, although it'll probably still be mmr based, albeit a role specific mmr).

That said, players don't have to get every possible reward (I do not anticipate participating in clash as a lone wolf with an eclectic schedule so I'm stuck missing out on the rewards there for example) and probably aren't expected to. It might be a bit of a pain point for collectors, but for a lot of people it's just more options for people to focus on the rewards they personally care about.
