improved player awards
what if riot were to create several "improved player" medals at the end of the season for ranked that any player. regardless of ladder rank could get, for showing above average improvement different aspects of the game which could include some or all of these or others
-
win/loss
-
average deaths
-
CS "would take games played as support into account"
-
objective control
-
average kills/assists "would be weighed equally for all the support mains out there
-
teamwork "several different measurements could be used
this would provide an incentive for players who perhaps play ranked a little bit more casually than others to perhaps play ranked with the intent to win as opposed to just dicking around. would provide people in bronze something to work for. even if they dont hit silver. banned players would be barred from all of these and it would be treated the same as hextech rewards in that regard. EXCEPT the teamwork medal as earning it could provide an incentive to reform, it would also encourage people in division 5 ranks to try to climb as opposed to "Im in silver im done playing ranked"
