MMR reset in division change

Had an idea and wondered what others thought of it. I feel like it would be nice to have a MMR reset when you climb a division. What i mean is when you got from say gold 1 to plat 5 regardless of your mmr you reset to plat 5. I have been on both ends of mmr spectrum. One one acct i had terrible mmr but climbed from silver 1 to gold 5 but had like silver 3 or 4 mmr(don't ask me how) and another time i climbed from from gold 1 to plat 5 but had like plat 3 mmr. I feel like overall it would just be more balanced if it reset a little when you change divisions.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

You take the problem from the wrong side.

How about you dont climb if you do not have the required mmr ?

Taking LPs as a reference can't be viable for a lot of reasons, the first reason being LPs are not a 0 sum system. MMR is a 0 sum system.

I think until that can get the smurfing issue under control and the many many other issues of ranked i don't think this would work.

Would be a nice idea for the lower ranks though the abuse potential might be way too high. And at the higher ranks you have decay that would mess that up potentially and then there's all the boosted animals that would benefit from this as well
