What are the intended changes for ranked come pre-season?

I've heard some talk of a version of teambuilder, change to promos ect. But roughly what are they trying to push towards? The ranked system as it currently stands just doesn't make sense. For example in my last game I had individuals anywhere from Silver 1 to Plat 4. Like that just doesn't even make sense. If it's an MMR issue, then why can't we just switch to that? Because if that's the issue, your actual rank means very little.

Also are there any changes to how AFK's will affect the LP loss? Too often you either lose or gain LP due to DC's or just straight up people not even connecting. I understand that it could be abused, but it already is in the case of trolls. Perhaps reducing the LP los by a percentage for each person DCing, or a mercy vote perhaps. There's never going to be a "perfect" fix for this, but there has to be something better than what's currently in place.

Love the game, but there are some glaring issues that can obviously be fixed. We may not agree on how to implement those fixes, but at least having a dialogue may bring about some ideas. I think the teambuilder change is a positive one, and if promos are being removed that's a good move as well, so at least some progress is being made, however I don't want an entire season to go by with those being the only major changes.

Hey man, i feel you, but in my opinion like you said rank does mean very little. It really is only a way to say you're better than your friends. I basically no-lifed it on league for the past couple years due to reasons and i realized that the higher up i got the less enjoyable the game really became. The ranked system is just here for Riot Games to encourage us to play the game. I think that as long as you're having fun rank shouldn't really matter. Just my opinions, thanks for reading and good luck in ranked :)
