The Ranking System.

---Preface--- I'm going to try and keep my rank as far away from the opinion as possible, these are simply ideas to help create a better ranking environment. ---Preface---

So, With the current season coming to an end, Juggernauts on the rampage; taking up 3/6 ban slots. I have a few ideas to maybe help create a better ranking system.

1st: Remove Divisions in your rank. What I mean with this is that there will be no more (For sake of example) Silver 1-5, But rather something similar to the challenger tier where everyone in that Rank is in the same division trying to gain enough LP to move to the next one. A proposed level up LP count would be about 500 per Rank.

2nd: If you lose enough games at Bronze (Currently 5, 0 LP) or the lowest tier. You will drop out of rank and be forced to play your placements again. This one is very opinionated, but it would give players that happen to be caught in a losing streak in the spiral that is feeding and afk's that just come with ranked; A chance to actually retry to get into the area they feel they belong in and restart their climb. While writing this out I can see how this could be abused so you can only be dropped 4 times a season before you're removed from Ranked Queues for the rest of that season.

3rd: While this one is really a game play aspect, a lot of the issues shine brightest in ranked. The Tribunal. With the millions upon millions of ranked games that go on during a season I can see how my first idea to this fix would be shot down Immediately, but have a new staff of Rioters join a game with an "/admin" command, so that way we can issue the proper punishment for the proper crime as soon as it happens. The other would be to reinstate the original tribunal where players of the community would be able to cast judgement on the toxic members of a team, while this doesn't help with feeding, afk, or whatever. It's just a thought.

4th And finally: The Ban Count, While six bans where healthy during the early-ish seasons of League, while we continue on down the line, more and more champions get released, reworked so on and so forth. We find ourselves constantly needing another ban or forced into a duel of pick it first or they get it and we lose. As a player I say we jump the ban count up to 4 for each side, to test the waters. See if it makes a massive impact or a little one.

Let me know below on how you feel these could affect the game, and please keep an open mind. I'll be happy to read any and all comments for some ways to evolve these thoughts.

Good luck in Solo Queue and thanks for reading.
