I'm convinced they built engagement optimized matchmaking and then built a ranked system on top of it. Ranked systems are easy to create, especially when you message riot and they tell you that it's just a simple number.
We're never getting back a skilled based ranked system. We will always have some stupid moneymaking scheme attached to it. Modern gaming is a shitty movie where I pretend I'm good at something because I never have a chance to actually try because a greedy corporation would rather have smurfs, cheaters and boosted players for money.
I blame COD and the dumb community who thought everyone was a "sweat" when actuality they just bought controllers with cheats.
i contacted support and they tried to gaslight me, looking past their HORRIBLE grammar by the way(professional billion-dollar company); they said you won't get RR back, and since you LEFT the game you will also get a ban on top of it; they avoided the question that i asked which was, why am i getting 2 afk players back to back and i am the only one punished. its actually disgusting;
