The skill gap in bronze is too large. There are some people who play champions when they only understand or are able to use half the kit. Please. Put something between bronze and silver.

I think it would be "Copper" then "Wood"

Need more elo ladder to climb even thought its hard enough to even climb to Diamond already

You should be thankful to Riot for making Bronze the lowest elo, if Riot make more lower elo you and all the other noobs who can't get out of Bronze will cry more in the "Wood Division" [slayer-jinx-catface]

You want Wood tier between Bronze and silver?

That would make the rank system go Bronze -> Wood -> Silver -> Gold -> Platinum, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Wood as a tier-name also doesn't fit with the entire thematic of other ranked tiers. For one, wood isn't a type of metal like the vast majority of ranks. Secondly: wood is a general type of material like metal, stone, or cloth: not a specific type of material like bronze, silver, and gold: where equivalent names in wood would be something like Oak, Osage, Yew, Ebony, Cedar, etc. Having a "Wood" as a tier further confuses the overall value of the tier, as wood can range from dirt-cheap to extremely expensive. It's also not like there's a shortage of types of metals, most of the periodic table is metallic and humans have used a wide range of metallic alloys for ages.

Beyond that: Riot does have a fair number of ranked tiers, it would make more sense for Riot to tweak ranked to allow better separation in player skill between the existing tiers over adding a new tier, especially if the entire goal of the additional tier is to tell players "you're bad and you should feel bad".
