Is it just me, or could the league system be way less complex with no effort at all?

Step 1) no MMR. You're matched based on your league and division

Step 2) you can drop from Div 5s, but no promo series. You hit a hundred LP, you go up a division. Simple.

Step 3) base LP gains and losses on matchup favor ability and a limited streak clamping.

No more confused players gaining 10 and losing 30, no more playing Gold 1s to get into Gold V, no more Elo boosted baddies ruining games and still getting Gold V rewards.

I don't understand what the drawback is...

The drawback is players getting matched against players that aren't at their skill level at every League below Diamond. Do you have any idea how broad individual divisions are? ESPECIALLY Bronze V.

No matter how broad divisons are, apparently MMR is ten times broader. It is not uncommon for people to fight Bronze vs Gold or Silver vs Plat.

Bronze V goes from 0 to 850. And there's quite a few people in the 400s. Are you telling me that 400MMR players should play against 800MMR players?

Currently leagues do nothing outside of rewarding you with a border and a skin at the end of the season. And that's fine.
