Bring Something like Positional Ranked System Back

One Current/Old Ranked system vs Positional Ranked argument is that people have no incentive to play well if they get their off role. I disagree because who doesn't want to get LP if you're playing ranked unless you specifically queued up to just troll. It doesn't matter if its just a splash of 3 LP or 6 Lp to other roles. This allowed people to essentially avoid demoting in their main role by making them try on their off role. As for the grind, it feels the exact same as our current system if not a little better IMO.

Why? cause at least every game I play whether it be fill, off-role, or main I know that if I just try its always a forward moving progress for all roles and ultimately hitting promos for any role. It was even fun trying to see how many off-roles I could rank up and seeing if I could match my main roles rank. But whats funny is that it never happened because my main role just went into series from all mixture of splashing and gaining of main-role LP. The old system is grindy in a sense that you just go back and forth in your division with 50 50 win ratios and every issue about the climb in ranked, whether it's the new system or not, will cause people to lose the same amount of LP anyways. But at least the positional provides a cushion of that 3 or 6 LP every time you hit 0. Also an important note, I noticed the quality of players were better when playing an off role or fill with the new system. I believe it was working to a certain extent.

The higher elo players have the most influence about the game and I believe that this new system went against the way they learned the game. Master a role and keep a small champion pool. Inevitably, this is why I believe 30% of the players were dissatisfied. Lower elo from silver to plat I believe have the most experimenting going on because everyone is trying to figure out how stop plateauing in the ranked system.

I really miss it tbh, it was something really fresh for the first time in years. The game feels so plain by comparison now
