Create a new division between Bronze and Silver?

There is too much of a skill difference inside Silver. So much so that many Silver players keep getting fucked over by fresh lvl 30's who get placed in high silver by winning 4 games in their placements (some deserve to be there, and some definitely do not.).

Because of this, there is a wide range of skill in Silver alone. I'm Silver 2 right now, and every single one of my games goes one of two ways:

  1. Annihilate the enemy team into oblivion
  2. Get annihilated into oblivion by the enemy team

There is no in-between.

I don't know what this division would be called, but it would definitely divide the players into the proper categories of skill and make the playstyle more effective to a player's skillset.

I mean, Riot added Master division to keep Challenger fair enough. It shouldn't be too hard to add another.

I'm also Silver 2 and have noticed that 95% of my games are complete shit stomps for one side. I think the matchmaking just needs to be improved so teams are actually even most of the time.

In every elo matches are annihilate or get annihilated, it's just the state of the game with Dynamic Que getting people to ranks they don't deserve and how easy it is to snowball.

In other words, a new rank would do fuck all.

That wouldn't solve the problem of new players having false ratings and only shift it into a different division.

And what's more, it would simply shift all those people who actually have the problem right slong into that same division with the new players because having the same rating is the problem.
