A change in the player matchmaking system that gives the community like minded team mates in matches
Hello Summoners, My name is Pikachu TS, and I am writing this in hopes that my idea will catch fire to make League of Legends a better place for all the players involved. It is a system I have come up with that allows players to pass judgement on other players without repercussions for honesty and trustworthiness, in the solo/duo queue ranked portion of League of Legends. Have you ever been in a ranked match, just on the verge of tasting sweet sweet victory, moments away from reaching your next tier/division, only to have it stolen from you by a troll, an elo booster throwing the game to stay at a low rank, or angry team mates who decide that their pride is bigger than the team so they go afk or intentionally feed? I know I have many times friends. The sad thing is, alot of these players can get away with it, and for the most part suffer little to no repercussions. This system won't ban them from league, but will make their gameplay equal if not more hellish than the inignitys they have inflicted, because they will be matched up with players with negative reviews, while good players are rewarded with being paired with other players who get positive reviews. This system will work hand in hand with the tribunal, not replace it. I propose a system that will pair you with other summoners who fall into the same bracket of team play that you choose to do. This system only applies to the solo/duo queue of ranked play, not normals, arams, ranked teams, or special game types. This system is specifically designed for the solo/duo queue play only because it is the only game mode that is least likely to be abused by 5 man teams. The purpose of this post is to throw an idea out that could change the way we play league for a very long time. We all know their is a ranked system consisting of Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master, and Challenger tier. But what if next to our MMR ratings and our division ratings, there was a 'Match making compatibility' rating or a MMC? We would all be paired with people not only in our MMR and division ratings... but also... our MMC! Every summoner would start at the neutral line, the number 50. Your maximum MMC is 100 which means you are a good summoner, someone who believes in teamwork and doesn't fly off the handle easily at mistakes, someone who doesn't troll and truly does try their best to be an outstanding person on the fields of justice and in the world or runetera. and your lowest possible MMC is 1 which means you have some improvements to make. Your number can increase or decrease based on the enemy teams choice to give you a thumbs up or a thumbs down WHICH IS REQUIRED at the post game screen. Every summoner will be required to rate the enemy team or you cannot start your next match or move on to the home screen until you do. If you log out, you will be asked to rate upon logging back in, and if you AFK, and the leaver buster has found you leaving, your vote is voided. You will rate the enemy team and they will rate you. May the odds ever be in your favor. You gain MMC with thumbs ups from enemy team players at the post game screen, and you can recieve up to 2 MMC points per ranked match. 3-4 thumbs ups: you gain 1 MMC point. 5 thumbs up: you get 2 MMC points. You lose MMC points by getting thumbed down. You can lose up to 3 MMC points at the end of every match. 3 thumbs down: you lose -1 MMC 4 thumbs down: you lose -2 MMC 5 thumbs down: you lose -3 MMC I personally feel this system implemented would make ranked play a better place, and maybe someone at riot could use this system to impliment it into other game modes as well. Please weigh in on this, help make our ranked play a better place where trolls will be matched with other trolls, and players who deserve good team mates will recieve their good team mates!
