Ditch MMR, Fight Your Rank Only

Riot, Please ditch the MMR system. I am ranked by division and tier, not by my MMR so do not balance my matches by my MMR. If I am silver 1 and getting smashed by other silver 1's then I will fall. Same on the flip side, if I am silver 1 and I am smashing other silver 1's then I will climb.

KISS (keep it simple stupid).

Update: Also, if you're really adamant about your argument about dodging promos then fine rank me based on my MMR and ditch the divisions/tier system. Either way, they are too disjointed.

I am tired of being S5 and getting matched against gold players...

So if I want to make an account to stomp Bronze players, all I have to do to keep playing with them and ruining their games is dodge my promos?

also your rank whatever it may be should apply to normal games as well. i am unranked this season. havent played one game of rank. last season i was silver. i get matched with and against plats and diamonds regularly. most of the time i can do ok vs plats depending on what role /match up but lol man diamonds rip me a new a hole. and im ok im not as good as a diamond i dont claim to be or try to be but stop making unfair games.

Sure. What prevents people from making a dozen accounts anyways and doing unranked to challenger? Oh...nothing.

Ditch MMR.

Or how about we get rid of tier/division placement and go back to an openly displayed ELO that is effective for displaying who you will be matched with and where your progression is at.

Promotion series are bullshit and have no place in this game. They're literally nothing but a gating mechanism that serves no actual purpose to the system.

Getting rid of Matchmaking Rating is a horrible idea that would make the matchmaking balance worse than what the MMR gap being widened with Dynamic Queue has already done.

Revert to season 5's system at the least. If you want ranked to actually be good, revert to seasons 1 and 2's system.
