Change the rank system

I think i speak for majority league players when I say that riot need to change their ranked match up system. There are times (no matter the elo) you get some amazing players with you and against you [slayer-jinx-catface] ,

and then some times where rito just digs out the biggest trolls in the entire community and watches you suffer while you try to carry a game with the most derpyiest team mates on the planet [zombie-brand-facepalm]

and you can't forget that one player who has no knowledge of the game, ends up feeding and loosing the lane but still gets carried, receiving an easy win. What I'm trying to say is that My over-all win rate is pretty fucking good but I've lost plenty of games due to the fact that i get matched in the game with 4 other players with 20% of win rates,and thats already a bummer cause you know how the game is going to end before it even starts. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

I personally think, and this is just my opinion, ranked games would be more easier and enjoyable if riot matched you with people who have similar win rate as you. It would make so much more sense. I think it would really divide great players from not so great ones. I refuse to believe that any of you enjoy loosing a game and then having one of the enemy players who went 0/12 type in "gg ez" at the end like he has done anything productive all game.[slayer-jinx-unamused]

I think it would eliminate a lot of boosted accounts too. You'll get one here and there but with win rate dropping real quick after few lost matches, you would not get them as much [slayer-jinx-wink]

Let me know what you think. Feel like Ill get a lot of hate for this ;')

The problem I see is as follows, having Riot only matching you up with people with similar win rates can be more difficult than just people around the same MMR, unless, of course, you have a win rate of 50%, with I believe a majority of players (including myself) have. Queue times can even increase drastically if this system is implemented, lets say you have a 60% win rate and are in Gold 2, the chances that there are 9 other players with a 60% win rate in Gold 2 and are all in queue with you can be low. I am not saying this is a terrible idea, in my ranked games I feel the same way you do, but I feel the higher you climb the more likely most players in your elo will have a even 50% win rate and the system will become irrelevant, it will already be irrelevant to the challenger/master elo players. Overall, I think Riot probably already had this idea but scrapped it because of the queue time issues, also win rates only tell half the story. my last point is improvement, how are you gonna improve if you constantly are facing the same less fortunate players because of your win rate, personally I would want to face the best people possible in my elo so I can actually see what mistakes I am making and improve accordingly, but this is just my opinion.
