Reporting in bronze.

You think it's worth reporting 90% of the people i run into in bronze for "unskilled player?"

I think there should be a test, and if you are able to past that test then you can play ranked. Not a test in a game, but question/answer test.

"Unskilled Player" report option is a placebo; it does nothing but let Riot know you overuse the report function.

Unskilled player shouldn't even be a report option. Because if you're in bronze, it stands to reason you suck just as much as the guy you're trying to report. Otherwise you wouldn't be queued with them.

I never get Bronze players who have this ego about them thinking they are so badass and it's just other players failures that are holding them back. There's a reason Diamond Players make it to Diamond. And it's not just because they were individually good.

Why don't you get someone to carry you to whatever rank you think you deserve (or higher) and then get outplayed until your LP/MMR/Rank falls back down to bronze? That way, you'll know it's where you belong.

Joking aside though, a test does seem like a legitimate way to better prepare people for rank. But I think it should come into the form of an advanced tutorial, that explains and shows you specific tactics that can be used generally for that role, and then makes you perform that strategy or hit a certain benchmark under pressure of time and an enemy AI presence, all relative of the skill it's trying to teach for the role you're playing. The skills it would teach would be general skills, not champion-specific ones, like freezing a lane, forcing the lane to push to you, having a certain CS in a certain amount of time. These tutorials could unlock at level 30 and then you couldn't unlock rank until you completed the advanced tutorials.

Not saying it's the only solution, but it's an acceptable one right? People will complain about having to go through it multiple times because of their smurf account, but once it's done, you never have to do them again.

The best part about this is that you think you're better than them yet your MMR says otherwise since you're queuing with them.

Out of curiosity, what kind of questions would be on this test?

oh someone did bad in my game guess they must be terrible. bronze has the most diverse skill in all the divions besides maybe diamond 1 90+ lp so because of this people snowball a lot more frequently and harder and in lower elo people are less likely to know how to play safer
