Ranked needs to be fixed/Changed.

So recently I have been playing a lot more ranked (trying to get to gold 5 where I stopped last season) and have had very mixed feelings on why it is I continuously go back. Now everyone before the pitchforks and torches come out, I am NOT good at this game by any means. I am probably dog shit in comparison, however I feel like ranked as a whole needs to be changed in some way to not have it feel like a complete coin-flip.

1: Bans: Having the ban phase like it used to be would be nice. But instead of having the 5 bans be on one person, make it so each player can ban separately. So it goes (first pick blue, First/Second Red, and so on) in order of the Picking phase. This would stop Double bans as well. Having someone ban yasuo on my team and they banned it as well is something I feel is wasted.

2: Leaving/AFK penalties and LP loss: For me if someone leaves a ranked game or AFK's (regardless of personal reason, Will explain if riots fault later) the players effected (Team who has DC/AFK (Amount of time has to pass before this can be set in place)) would receive no LP loss as a result of /ff. Now for this to work, the team would need to be within a given margin of Gold, Or have secured 1-3 objectives (Dragon, First blood, Tower, Rift/Baron) depending on the time frame, as well as have a set MINIMUM time the player would have to be AFK/Left for. This could be based on the match length. If a game is over 25 minutes and the player leaves for 9 of those minutes, then the team who has the AFK would be awarded no LP loss as a result. It would still count towards a loss in promo's and W/L record. But LP would remain as normal. This would stop duo's from doing this for their promos. In case of the player being in Promo's being solo, A loss would be given but they would be awarded +15-25 LP if they lose the series because of it. Otherwise it's a Loss.

However in the case riot's hardware decides that "YOU SHALL NOT PLAY LEAGUE OF LEGENDS" happens, The team that had this issue would be given no Record of game and Promo Games would be kept as if that game was not played for the team who had the issue.

3: Match Making and Role selection. Generally you can pick 2 roles, or fill. If you choose 2 roles and have a time where you play them over and over (more then 20ish games) then you are more then likely to be autofilled into a role sooner rather then later. However I feel like Auto-Fill in ranked causes way to many issues. Especially if someone who doesn't know how to play that role enough to play it in ranked gets it. Me personally, it's jungle. Probably like bronze 5 0lp with 0-100 win/loss as a jungler at this point. Actually probably worse. I probably shouldn't even be allowed to jungle, I am that bad at it.

All in all, I think Ranked could be a lot more fun, but also be more competitive.
