Is league ranked ever going to add in a system that takes individual performance into account? Like csgo how the win or loss for the team is more valued then the individual performance, but if you perform well you dont get punished as harshly for the loss or you might not lose anything at all for it. Just curious because I know personally I find it very frustrating when I'm trying to climb and I do very well in a game and then it doesn't even matter because other lanes didn't go so hot and then we lose and I get demoted for it.

It's been mentioned before, I think it'd be a nice addition- there's all sorts of problems that would be had, e.g. not risking a team fight you could die in or something if the overall extra death would prove to be worse for score rating, being really passive/backing out when you could win fights and playing really selfishly with cs/map just to boost your own score with no regards to teammates because your individual score carries you- but there's already problems with the current ranked system, like getting teams you won't win with, or won't happen to win with because that's just how the game played out due to a variety of factors, (life, big or small, emotional, small or big, consistency, champions played/position, etc.) and members- if only one that performed well and is hindered by the team, are dragged down as a whole.

The answer that I've seen is usually "then go play X" well, they can, but they aren't the same game, why are suggestions replied to with "go play X"? This game definitely isn't perfect and can be improved.

The biggest problem is that people tend to think of rank as synonymous with skill which just isn't true. Skill has always been most accurately decided by gameplay.

There is a system in place. The system is you. If you are having bad games and cannot carry teams, you are the only common denominator. The League system matches players with other players of similar skill - the enemy team is not challenger players and you don't have 4 allies that just started the game this week. Everyone gets heated sometimes, not just your team. For all you know, the enemy team may be raging harder than your own team in chat.

there are two different issues you listed and i need to know which one you're arguing about. The first issue is players becoming angry, toxic behavior. Threatening to AFK or feed.The second issue is team performance. they do relate to each other because team morale counts, but generally players become angry because they want to win, not because they want to lose. If you're angry because players can't stop typing during a game, mute them. If you're angry your team is underperforming, you must be the person to carry to victory

That being said, if you cannot seem to climb, regardless, the chances are that you are exactly where you belong in the elo poll. Are you saying you want to play against Challenger level players? There is a reason Diamond mains have multiple accounts in Diamond. And there is a reason Silver players cannot get out of Silver. Either you carry yourself to the elo where you belong, or you're already there.

One player makes up 20% of the team. That is a significant portion, and that is enough to have a outstanding impact on the game itself. Players who wreck through elo and climb fast are the one's who say very little, and carry very much. They do not get dragged down by 1 bad game out of 10 wins. But if you are not carrying the majority of the wins, and you are having trouble winning promo's, then there is a reason. And that reason is not your team, because the enemy team is at the same skill level as your own team

Are you saying Riot is teaming you with poor allies and strong enemies? No such system exists.
