My idea for a much more fair and balanced ranked system

-New accounts start at B5 no matter what.

-At the beginning of each season, you can be placed only within your current league. So say you were Silver at the end of the season, your placement games can only place you as low as S5 and as high as S1.

-Promos no longer exist between tiers, only between leagues. And if you fail a promo, you start at 99lp.

-In order to be demoted a tier, you have to lose 3 consecutive games in a row at 0lp.

-In order to be demoted a league you have to lose 10 consecutive games in a row at 0lp in tier 5 of that league.

-lp gains and losses are static, varying in amount based off of the league and tier you're in.

-accounts less than a year old are matched together and never mixed with accounts a year or older.

people playing mobas before are better than typical bronze 5 or than people who only begins their Journey so I think it is unfair.
You might had a break you might get worse and now even if you drop from plat to for example Silver with your mmr you will reach next division each won game and Gold 4+ you will get like over 30lp so it's not that hard if you are Not bad to reach your division again.
I don't get first part of it but if it comes to 99lp after lost promo it is making climbing easier and I am not sure if that's what we try to achive.
Idk now it depends on mmr so it's not bad.
go to 4
go to 4
It is hard to find game even now so I doubt if it is good idea.

And No I didn't downvote you, just waiting for your arguments.

I want to eliminate the concept of smurfs entirely. I think it ruins the game when people make multiple accounts to either boost themselves past where they failed before, to troll, or to play against players worse than their skill truly is because they are having difficulty in their own tier. I also don't believe in the concept of promos. Its not 'exciting' to work so hard and then be set back because of arbitrary requirements of winning more than once in a row. Promos are stupid, The excitement should be in progressing leagues, not tiers. I've flip flopped between S5 and S4 for a fucking month now because I get demoted with ONE FUCKING LOSS at 0 lp. I want to see progression, not regression. Think about it, obviously I'm not getting 'worse' by playing. Yet I get demoted and fall backwards constantly because of other stupid players and smurfs. I know so many people that play this game who are in gold who play like trash and it makes no sense how they get to be where they are other than luck. I'm sick of not progressing even though I'm a decent player. I just got demoted for losing one game at 0 lp. instead of being at 0 lp I'm now at 75 in S5 meaning I've been set back 6 games with one loss. I just get so angry. So this was more of a rage post than a serious one.

"Not that bad"

You get placed with retarded teams as soon as you hit a winstreak.

Not rly, I have managed to get like 13 games winstreak and losestreak aswell so it is indeed not that bad, also because of mmr you can easier get division you deserve I believe.

There's nothing wrong with the ranking system. If you lose your promos, you go down however many LP you would have gone down. If you lose a couple games after promotion, you'll (I'm pretty sure) get a points penalty for won games until you can "make up" the LP you were gifted to keep you from dropping right back down again.

Everything seems fine to me. . . gotta believe in the math-- Riot programmers are good at it, most LoL players are not.

I think having promos every rank makes it more exciting-- you work hard to GET to the promos, you do your best to win them. If it was just straight LP from rank 5 to rank 1 to promos, there wouldn't be those little bursts of excitement while you climb.
