Time for a New Ranked System

So Ive been stuck in S1-2 for the last couple of weeks in the end of this season. My MMR is shot I get 18 per win and -19 per loss. My question is why must I be punished when players either DC at the beginning of the game because of the buggy client or other hardware issues? why do I lose LP when someone rage quits when the game is winnable. I feel I have the game knowledge and mechanical abilities to reach gold. My problem is that most of the time i cant carry the other 4 members of my team no matter how much I stomp my lane and roam to assist others. Why is there not an individual performance mechanic involved in the ranked LP system ? It burns me out when I play for 12 hours and end up at a net loss for the day because of rage quits, DCs, players not understanding the game, and ints. I don't pretend that I play perfectly at all times but the fact that i have to carry 4 invalids through 6 CONSEQUTIVE wins to advance in rank seems very unfair to the player.

If you are hardstuck silver then its your fault. Not your teams. Individual performance is way too complex for a computer to work out. Sure the ranked system isnt perfect, but its better than anything you or I could do.

Should it? Yes. Will it, No

I do feel though afk and dc do need to get punished harder. I dont really care what happened if everyone is held to the standard. You afk dc you screwed over your team

This would only be a good idea if it were reasonable to expect an automated system be able to accurately judge how much you helped the team.

But it's not.

There are far too many little variables and vague decisions that determine how much you helped the team. If the system is inaccurate at determining how much you helped the team then people will start prioritizing their own personal performance over helping the team win.

sorry to tell you but if youre stuck in silver in the current system, you wont make it out ever. because the system is currently broken and there have never been more people above silver.

I'm laughing because people state, ' THIS IS A TEAM GAME" but if one person(you) cant carry 4 people ALONE you deserve your elo and your loss. so much for "team game " dont listen to these Bots here they always defend league no matter what. the system is broken and we all know it. btw None of these people work or speak for league AT ALL. just a Bias Opinion much like everything on these boards. if you want to find a dev they'll be in story/art section where people worry more about skins and lore than actual game play and system specs.
