Fixing Ranked (Solo que) and an idea for afk players

queefmiester·Feb 2, 2015·2 votes·101 views

Hi everyone, I would like to suggest an idea for how to make the ranked system less frustrating for some players. I believe that it would be helpful if LP was awarded due to things like kills, deaths, assists, damage output, damage taken, etc. and not solely based on wins and losses. It is very frustrating to win your lane/ play your role well/ generally play well and lose LP when you have poor team play by others. Secondly, I would like to suggest an idea for fixing games with afk players. It would be great to have a que that you could select that allowed you to fill in games that have afk players. When the player returns you would be booted from that persons slot and the game would continue. Would love to know what the community thinks.

There are inherent issues in Ranked play (in this game or otherwise), not denying that.

But, giving people rank based on their KDA CS etc. is a very bad idea and has been stated by Riot it will never be done for a very good reason; people will play different specifically to keep from losing LP. They will stay back out of a teamfight they think they might die in, they will KS on purpose every time, will farm CS or steal CS from your lane and not do anything else etc.

What if you weighted things differently? Like high value on turrets taken for laners/ dragons taken for junglers and made kills, cs a lesser value? Any thoughts on afk idea?
