This ranked system is absolutely broken

Promotion games shouldn't exist, LP shouldn't be a thing and everything should just be based on a point system like for instance the ranked system in Overwatch. Why not just put players inside a rank that's equivelant to their MMR. What's so hard about that? Why do we have to have this bs with promotion games and LP when you are clearly keeping track of a player's skill level differently in the background.

According to OP.GG, after a pretty long winstreak trying to climb back to gold after some horrible placements, my MMR was about gold 2, yet I was just sitting there in silver 1 trying to get into my promos. I was a little over a 100 MMR higher than the average MMR of the rank I was in. This MMR seemed to be about right, because I was getting matched against high golds and plats. Now I can't carry against this level and I went on a losing streak. How am I supposed to ever get to gold this way? I can easily carry the team against silvers and low golds, but when you match me against high gold and low plat players that's going to get a lot harder and I will never get out of silver 1 this way.

For comparison, imagine I'm in high school and I want to make it to the next year, but to do that I have to pass some exams. Now, I'm apparently a smart kid and because of that instead of NORMAL HIGH SCHOOL exams (The level i'm on at the moment) I'm getting UNIVERSITY exams (The level I'm supposedly on) and if I don't make those then well... better luck next year I guess cause you ain't passing and you'll never get to uni... This is basically what I'm dealing with at the moment in ranked. CAN'T YOU SEE THAT THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO WORK LIKE THIS!

The ranked system is deliberately trying to keep you down this way! Sure it matches you against players of supposedly your own caliber, but that just makes it 10 times harder to climb which is all I want to do. Just match me against players from the level I'm currently in (silver 1) and I'll get to that high gold/plat level eventually, because I can carry games and climb. You don't need to match me with those high golds and low plats if I'm not there yet.

Now to fix this, the entire system should just be around that hidden score in the background. Just like Overwatch, look at that system, it works like a charm, why is it so hard to just implement something like that too. You are clearly already keeping track of some hidden score so just use that and everyone will be happy!

Now this was my little rant, I'm sure some people disagree with this on me however and I'd gladly like to know why so feel free to explain it down below.
