Can something be done to penalize one tricks in ranked for the next season?

This is a major contributor to why Diamond V is so completely fucked up. It's roughly the point where team composition is 10x more important than anything else, and their one trick becomes irrelevant unless it fits into the composition.

There shouldnt ever be a penalty to wanting to play a certain champion.

And actually almost every competitive video game i can think of enforces two tricking as the best strategy. Professional sports are even more one trick.

If you want to play a certain champion, and not the champion that your team needs to win, you should be in normals, not ranked.

They get punished by having a massive surplus of keys.

I actually never thought about it like that.. D5 is called elo hell because it's the point where one tricks are stuck because of team comp. That makes so much sense actually haha.

Tobias Fate is a perfect example. He was "The Diamond GateKeeper" because only plays gangplank in diamond.

other than that though, ranked shouldnt punish someone for knowing one champ really well.

They shouldn't be punished, but they shouldn't be able to hover around Diamond V while continuing to only use their one trick. It fucks over everyone who gets them on their team.

If anything One Tricks should get extra LP for wins.

Dedication to a champion should be rewarded.
