There really needs to be a rating system to reward consistently good play in ranked

Players who consistently perform poorly when they lose games should be penalized beyond the standard LP loss. Players who consistently perform well, even when they lose games, should be rewarded in some way.

The current system for solo queue isn't sufficient. There are so many players who single handedly lose the game for the rest of their team, because they have a poor start, stop caring, and basically just feed the other team for the remainder of the game.

These players aren't penalized any more than the team mates who were unfortunate enough to have them on their team, which is nonsense.

Players who consistently perform poorly are more likely to lose more often and are therefore "penalized" with decreases to their MMR and rank. Players who consistently perform well are more likely to win more often and are therefore "rewarded" with increases to their MMR and rank. Both teams are equally as likely to have a poor player, so over time, the only thing that really matters is your own play (of course, there are other things to take into account like what role you play and how much that contributes to win rates in the current meta, but in general, if you play well over many matches, you will climb).
