The problem with the new rank system

So I hate autofill as much as everyone else, and as much as I like the idea of getting a rank based off my main role, I still see a few flaws in this system.

1.) what about Challenger/Master players? They don't have as many people at the top so this seems like it'll make it harder for them. 2.) this doesn't fix the issue of the elo difference, people who are at a certain rank are being judged by their overall understanding of the game, not just the role.

i think the original idea to pick ONE role you CANNOT play is much better. and honestly, peoples ranks reflect so much of their understanding, mechanics, and ability to adapt even when autofilled.

false. It doesnt make it "harder" for them. It makes things LONGER for them. use the correct words. and actually, it makes games oeverall, EASIER for them. since they no longer have to deal with autofilled supports on their team.

not below plat they arent.

thas a horrible idea. new playres will only know ONE, MAAYBE TWO roles. so that will completely screw new players, or anyone with the misfortune to be matched with new players. where "new" means "less than 1000 games"
