Ideas for a better Ranked system

So, after watching the new video Riot released on the future changes to ranked I've come up with something that I think people will like more than the system you've thought of. Obviously it's all upto you guys, but I just want the Riot's Dev team to look at the idea for once.

So first off, let's keep he current ranked system, and tweak it. We start with adding 2 bars which show how many players have queued up for their main roles and how many for secondary roles, also showing what roles those are, matching with their elo/MMR.

Secondly, we tune the LP system a bit, so if someone gets auto filled, he/she will lose approx. 50% less LP in-case he'she loses the match, but gain about 30% extra LP if they win, the win bonus will scale based on their performance in-game, using the help of the grading system if required. Also if someone is auto-filled in a match and the team loses, then the entire team will lose less LP, depending on how bad they played, if they played too bad and had no impact then it's obviously their fault, so the LP loss will scale accordingly.

And the main backdraws about the system Riot currently has planned is the fact that if there is someone who gets auto-filled and it turned out he actually had a good match and wins, the LP won't stack up, which is very frustrating in-case someone gets auto filled very often. Also, if there are people who play more than 2 roles, then it is very frustrating to play each and every single role, to maintain a good rank in all the roles, it's kind-of like you're trying to create 5 separate ranks instead of one, which is going to be very bad for higher elo players even if they grind alot.

Also one more thing, I think there should be a hard reset for lower elos such as Bronze, Silver and maybe include Gold with it. This is because I personally faced this problem, the first time I played ranked I played 9 out of 10 games right before the season ended, won 3 of them, and then after this when I played the 10 provisionals in the next season, winning 4 matches, I got placed to Bronze 3. Which was a whack in my head because another friend of mine actually got to Silver 5 where he won only 2 matches. Which was very very weird. I guess this is because the system soft resets the ranks instead of hard resets, and I had realized at that time that in Bronze elo in that region, they suck alot sometimes, which tends to make you lose even if you were doing good. So the hard reset would allow the lower elo players would have a better way to rank-up incase they fail to do it the first time, instead of falling into elo hell.

By the way, if someone thinks I don't know what I'm talking about because my account level is very low, it's because I play in the Garena servers in Singapore, I live in Bangladesh, and so I didn't get much time to play in my NA account.

So I hope you Rioters will go through this post, I couldn't find another way to convey the message to you guys so had to do this.
