Does Riot ever plan on revamping the Ranked System?

I know it's a team game, but I don't think 4 other players should dictate MY skill level, and whether or not a I climb. Being good at the game only increases your chance of winning. CHANCE, the game shouldn't be a win or lose on a flip of a coin, and whether you get godly players or 4 people on tilt.

I don't think it's fair for me, to do better then everyone else in the game in terms of kda, damage, towers, objectives, etc.. And still somehow lose because everyone else is incompetent.

I don't know how such a system would work, but I'd think it would be somewhat similar to that of the mastery system.

They don't do this because the Nexus kill is the only point that matters, and how you achieve that is irrelevant. Bad scores do not necessarily mean you contributed less to the win, and good scores do not necessarily mean you were carrying your team.

If you were given points based on your perceived performance due to stats, then people would play for having good stats instead of actually winning. Kill stealing, afk farming, running away from team fights so you don't die in a fight that you would've won for your sacrifice etc. would all become more important than the ultimate objective. It would ruin LoL immediately.

Uhhh, that makes zero sense, lol had a similar system with the elo one and it didn't ruin LoL. O.o , also it wouldn't you dummy I didn't say kda was the only part you have to contribute to winning taking objectives like towers, dragons, baron, scuttles, how much damage you did etc. Killing the nexus and winning would also go into it but not be the sole purpose of your mmr.

Doing all the things you would want to be scored for increase your chances of winning like you said. If you do those things giving you higher chances of winning you will win more. There may be individual games where you lose even if you do well, but over time your rank is going to reflect your ability the overwhelming majority of the time.

The only real downside of a win based ranking system is that it takes a high number of games to show anything meaningful, but it cuts out encouraging all kinds of selfish play.

Again, this isn't all about Kda or what not, it's how much the person contributed to the winning or trying to win the game, how much damage they did to towers, how many objectives they helped get, overall score, etc. How much damage they took (Depends on champion) how much overall damage they did during the game at what times and what not . THere a lot more then just KDA

You can fill in anything you think should be scored where I said KDA and the same would be true.

If you perfectly measured and scored everyone's contributions your rank would be exactly the same in the long run. The only thing you would improve is the score from an individual game would be more meaningful.

If you make good plays you will win more games, thus your rank will go up.
