Warm-Take On New Ranking System (rant warning)

Word has been going around that riot has been thinking of doing away with the new "position rank" system, going back too everyone having one rank for all positions, as well as doing a "soft" ranked reset.

too put it as lightly as i can; FUCKING. PLEASE.

now, i AM getting a bit ahead of myself. for one thing, i don't think it is right to blame riot for testing a new idea for ranked. there really was no right way to test the new ranking system WITHOUT having it go live. but i think we can have a good discussion on the pros and cons of the new position system, and the old one-elo-for-all ranking system.

the main 2 reasons of why i don't like the new system are as follows.

1: its ranked team-builder, and i know folks have mixed feelings on team-builder (i never liked it, but my best friend liked it. and our conversations are partly what sparked this post) but we all know how team-builder turned out. and i think that adding a team-build into ranked is just the worst case scenario. in low-elo (i am silver 4), not just every game becomes a coin-flip, but every LANE in every game becomes a coin-flip.

what i mean by that is that one team will get a player that is just trying to climb in that position, and the other will get a player that MAINS that position. if the player that is just trying to climb loses, it is no sweat off of their back because they still have their main position to fall back on. however, his teammates who are playing their main roles suffer the most. i really don't know if this is a problem in plat or diamond, but last season if i had more time too play i could have made it too gold for the first time in my small baby life. but this season, even with more time too play, i am hard stuck in silver 4.

also let me know if the problem stated above is in higher elos, i would like too know.

i know that this has ALWAYS been a problem for ranked, yes. i am not acting like it hasn't. but the new system has only made it worse, added on to the fact that riot seems to have a hard-on for matches only lasting 20-30 mins on average, and said matches being decided within 5 mins.

now, with that out of the way. lets move on too part 2.

2: much like most of every patch, buff, nerf, item changes, and any update. the new ranking system is made for the top 1% of league players.

the bourgeoisie top 1% of league players only every, AT THE MOST play 2 roles. and this is true for the other 99%, yes i agree.

but the top 1% can solo carry games when they are climbing up, most of the time (depending on their roles/champs they play) they can solo carry diamond/master matches with consistency. climbing is not a thing these guys need to worry about, this system just made it easier for them to get too grandmaster/challenger.

and on top of all of this, this ranked system just makes smurfing WAY easier. which personally, i have always been against. (i know that there is next too no way of dealing with smurfing, i just see it as "the coward's way out".)

i now see, after about 15 mins of typing, that this has become quite the wall of text. so i think i will leave it here.

mostly, i just want to hear from you guys on what you think of the new ranking system.

feel free too agree or disagree, add-on or shut down. mostly i just want to know if i am the only one with this tin-foil hat shit going on, or if i just suck ass and will be silver 4 for the rest of my league life. (naw, silver 4 after 7 years...i know i suck XD)

and if you read all of this, i thank you for your time! peace brothers and sisters. [vlad-salute]
