So you have videos of Challenger players placing in iron. You have Gold last season placed in bronze, and its ELO HELL. I would love to see someone actually get out of bronze or even silver now IN the support or ADC roll. When you win 7/8 placements and get started in iron or bronze... Its so Toxic, and the level of toxicity only continues to climb. People are getting so much worse, this game isn't even fun to play any more... concept for you, make people actually care about getting banned instead of just being able to make A BILLION new accounts for nothing. Its not a punishment. That is blatantly obvious when you look at the competitive nature you are trying to create and actual level of sportsmanship displayed. You make people register email addresses and yet do not ban accounts according to emails. So the same people just keep making new accounts. I think its counter productive to make the grind to 30 So ridiculously long. It doesn't discourage any negative behaviors it just makes those who are trying to play an off roll or practice without ruining their main account suffer...You just keep getting the same people creating new accounts over and over and trolling over and over with no recourse of action or remorse for negative behavior. I would suggest making ranked and only ranked a Pay to Play option. If you wanna troll do it in Normal game modes.If you want to practice, do it in Normal game modes. That is what the game mode is for. But for those of us who are actually trying to better ourselves and being bombarded by so many immature, inconsiderate and unsportsmanlike players its not fun any more. You shouldn't charge much, maybe 5 bucks a month or have to purchase a ranked ticket or something. Its not like you don't charge or make money on skins and champions with RP anyway. The concept isn't unheard of, But you need to do something so their is / are actual consequence for not behaving properly or for trolling purposely in game. Combine the email banning with the pay 2 play for ranked only, and watch the level of competition go through the roof.

Someone who cares.

Actually the Old ELO system is Trash, the new Role Ranks is just compounding it.

ELO works only if teams were always 5 man Premades that didnt change for the whole season (like LCS).

It also only works if all players are playing to win.

SoloQ is a RNG of teams that are always changing and where 50% of the games has at least 1 Troll and or Smurf (who will throw games to stay in lower Ranks)

ELO does not work in a environment like that.

It's a bit like poker. You have all these factors that you mention, which are heavily luck based but you also have a significant element of skill. Over the long run, your rank converges to the level of skill. It won't be accurate in 10 or 20 games but in 200, it'll be fairly reliable. It's actually a lot better than before imo since some of the luck via autofills is reduced (because each position will have a separate rank).
