The problem with Ranked Roles

This picture illustrates perfectly a major problem created by the ranked roles system:

By playing "Fill" I am artificially reducing my rank while having a phenomenal win rate.

The other competent players who are playing single roles, are basically ranking out of the tier I am still playing in, leaving me as a giant shark in a sea of fish. And personally, I don't mind it. It feels good to have a reliable climb versus a 50/50 climb.

The problems, however, are that:

1. It's artificial. If I was climbing like a Single Role, my win rate would reflect that.
2. The remainder I am playing with are worse players by comparison, but they have to put up with me until I eventually rise.
3. Although the climb is slow as "Fill" It's consistent. Too consistent. 6 LP splash for a win, 3 for a loss, makes climbing as a "Fill" nearly twice as effective as climbing as a Solo ranker at beating 50/50 matchmaking.
