Ranked NEEDS an Indavidual Score

Ok, I have no clue why this hasn't been implemented yet. Your ranked ladder is determined completely by wins and losses. This is wrong. I won't dignify any arguments you have against this fact. Yes, it is a team game, but a team is made up of individuals and therefore an individual score should be incorporated into the ranking system.

I'm really steamed because I've just lost 3 placement matches while attempting to carry my team. I was easily the best on my team in all 3 games (scores will prove it) and possibly he best in the lobby. Yet, I get 3 losses and its quite possible to get ranked shit-tier. Its the reason elohell exists. Why can't you incorporate a system that adjusts your rank based on personal score? It obviously won't be kill/death related, but there are lots of ratio's you could take to determine if someone is continuously doing well, but still losing games.

A few examples: (kills+assists)/deaths. (kills+assists)/total team kills. Damage dealt to champs/total damage dealt to champs. Damage dealt to objectives/total damage dealt to objectives.

There are tons of options and none of them would inhibit team cooperation like a strict k/d would. The best thing is that this would literally give you a way to carry yourself out of elo hell. Even if youre only winning

less than 50% of your games you should still be able to advance if you are not the problem.

I'm not saying I'm perfect, Diamond tier, or anything like that. However, there are times it is easy to see what/who the problem is in games. Many times its not you and theres nothing you can do about it. Lets stop this "carry harder" nonsense and start addressing the real problem to further improve the community.
