Winning ranked should be winnning 2 of 3 matches, rewards skill, punishes bad players
It would take a lot of time. But honestly, games should be best of 2 of 3 in ranked.
- this would deter people who aren't really serious about ranked and they can go play normal, because they might not want to be held to 2 or more matches in a row.
2)this would allow games a bad teammate can get voted off with 4 votes between matches, and be replaced by a new random player. The vote can only happen from losing the first match. Therefore, the new player still has to win 2 games in a row for a win, but its not a bad deal since most likely he is replacing the weak link in the team.
3)This will also put people in check as to not act the fool lest they be voted off the team and take a loss.
The basic concept is that overall, good players should win in the long run. So making it best of 3 matches rewards players who are more consistent...even if they have a bad first match, if they are truly better than the other team, they will often win the next 2 in a row.
I know this would be time consuming, but it would actually fix a lot of the frustrations of ranked--less people playing who don't care about ranked, and if someone does AFK after a certain amount of time, or disconnect, a new player could enter mid match So in the lobby, you might get an option to enter an in progress ranked match with an incentive of bonus LP for a win and reduction of LP loss for a loss. You would start at level 1 but you would be able to see score, and pick whatever champion you want. You will be playing from behind, but you have the ability to counter pick into the match
