Ranked suggestion:

Remove the option to surrender.

Reason:

Ranked should be for serious and committed players(hence ranked) who are willing to play the entire match. As it stands every single game(mid silver) someone tries to surrender at 20 because they know they can and because they get fed up with playing bad or they get mad at a teammate over playing bad. Point is having the option to surrender allows less serious players to bring down the moral the team by spamming surrender. It also takes away from the seriousness of ranked because players who know they can just try to surrender and essentially give up half way through the match choose to play more ranked knowing they have this option.

Ranked idea:

Allow loss forgiveness for the player who gets the highest rating on the losing team. (Essentially you do not lose lp - instead the loss wouldnt be counted against you)

Reason:

League is a very team based game even in solo que ranked. As it stands it can be nearly impossible to climb because one person cannot out weigh his 4 teammates consistently. I can get positive scores, win my lane, get more objectives, die the least, and do everything right and still lose because joe shmo isn't taking the match serious and died to his lane 9 times in 12 minutes. With loss forgiveness awarded to the best player on the losing team, it will inspire people on the losing team to try their hardest to do the best they can even when they are on the losing side so they are not granted a loss.

Combined results:

Without being able to surrender and with loss forgiveness to the best player on the losing team. Losing team moral will no longer be as effectable by trolls, noobs, and unskilled players.

My history: Been playing League for 5 years and been ranked all 5 years. Started Bronze 5. Spent most time in silver and low gold. Currently floating around silver.

The loss forgiveness will just spawn KDA whores who preserve their KDA in a losing game since you can't surrender ( based off of your ideas here )

Also surrendering is ok when you're completely outclassed in almost all lanes. Just get lucky next time and hope you get matched with someone who can carry their own weight lmao.

There's a lot of factors that people you'll match with are unbelievably bad.

Intoxication. Bad day / Bad lose streak ( tilt ) Genuinely boosted account Or someones internet will go down for long enough for a faceroll to happen

The loss forgiveness can be so easily abused. To the point where I can probably muster a 100% win rate every time I smurf if I do it correctly, not only just me, anyone else can probably do it. Everyone will be fighting for the loss forgiveness in a losing game. No one will be focused on the game itself.

Just because you remove the ability to surrender, doesn't mean you'll change the player base that calls an early FF vote for the better. In fact, their negativity might just cause other undesired situations.

You can always have 2 votes on No.

The second suggestion is TERRIBLE. Most of the time :( :( if you are good enough you will climb. The problem isn't that you can't climb, the problem is it is too slow to climb unless you are way underanked.

Your last sentence of reason was actually pretty good. But the calculation method is just bad. in the end, it will be people saying LET ME FARM, let me avoid fights. Just to save themselves.

The best suggestion Get rid of Derank for anything below Gold5. There is no point in having it. For that matter I don't know if there is even a point for between level promos. But seriously just remove derank, players will be happy. You can still make it slow to climb. But if you never derank then it feels nicer. More hope. Even if the rank is not the MMR. You still have it and can be happy this season.
