Ranked climbing incentives idea (riot please read and steal)

Riot has been trying to figure out how to give the gold through master tiers incentive to keep climbing after achieving gold and receiving the victorious skin. For a lot of ranked players as long as they have the skin that’s good enough and they don’t put any effort into climbing, just maintaining. After the season 9 announcements and pre season changes it’s evident riot is trying to come up with remedies for this as well as incentives for consistent play during the ranked season. Riot has experimented with physical rewards that they’ve been relatively unhappy with because the rewards didn’t encourage the level of competition riot was hoping for. I have a relatively simple remedy that could foster stiffer competition in all ranks gold and above that would result in people actually trying to improve instead of sitting on their rank to receive rewards. I think the base victorious skin is a great reward for achieving gold. After gold there’s nothing to work towards until you reach challenger (besides borders which don’t matter much anymore anyways) after gold, I think an example of a great reward for platinum players would be a platinum chroma for the victorious skin. Riot has been going chroma crazy and the exclusive chroma for your rank would be an excellent way to reward platinum tier for their efforts without using a bunch of extra resources, like if riot were to create an entirely new skin. This could also work for Diamond, with a diamond chroma and even for master and grandmaster with chromas that relate to their new redesigned tier shields. Having the victorious skin with platinum, diamond, and master/grandmaster chromas would give the players in those ranked tiers something unique and unpurchasable to try to attain, so that would foster a greater sense of competition in ranked play. Challenger has been experimenting with rewards, like the jacket and althe backpack. These are in a sense separate from the game and after the initial excitement high elo players quit trying for challenger for the physical rewards. Since it’s league of legends I think the challenger reward should be a “legend” chroma for the victorious skin. This chroma would have to live up to the legend name, so some added oomph to the base skin instead of a basic chroma would be required. I think it would foster a greater sense of competition in all ranks and should at least be considered as a future reward option.

TL:DR ranked rewards after the gold victorious skin should be platinum, diamond, and master/ grandmaster chromas for the victorious skin, and challenger should recieve a “legend” or “legendary” chroma (since it’s league of legends)
