Why do we have to wait a year for ranked banners?

With the new system where you can't drop below D5 of any league, why can't we at least get the ranked border rewards immediately? Before the reset I was Silver4, but I started playing too late so I missed the season rewards. So now in the new season I'm again back into Silver, but I have to wait almost a year to get my silver banner! I know, its not that big of a deal, especially for Silver (but hey I worked hard for that!). But I just don't see any reason why we couldn't at least get the banner immediately.

Come on Riot, throw us a bone for improving sooner than later.

What do you mean system where you can't drop below tier 5? I've seen plenty of people fall out of silver and into bronze/out of gold and into silver. Are you sure your information is accurate?

Yeah I just fell out of S5>to B1 because I was on a losing streak.

I thought they made it for Bronze through Gold that you couldn't drop below D5 after you made it in. If thats not true then I've been skirting a drop for awhile! : /

'Cause that's when ranked prizes come out and the banners are apart of those prizes, unless you already got one (meaning you're still in the same division or got demoted to a lower one [I'm pretty sure your banner doesn't get demoted]).
