[2023] Ranked penalty has to be changed into WINS, not GAMES played

they literally required you to win normal games to be able to queue for ranked again as a punishment in season 2-3 and removed it, then we got riot lyte's social experiments performed on us.

not only could anyone see the outcome of this current system, but they already had the solution over a decade ago and ditched it!

I was wondering why my aram games were such bad quality lately. With insta afks as well.

This is blatantly untrue tho

Riot does not permaban unless you run it down A LOT, so if you are giga tilted one night and choose to run it because your jg doesn't gank you, there will be no real punishment

However, if you do that twice Riot should tag you as toxic and put you in the toxic q, then if you are on good behavior for a certain number of games you can return to normal q,.but if you don't improve you stay there, and if those games only happen once or twice a week it won't be enough to trigger a perma

It's just a solid system, the only reason Riot will never implement it is because they want to be original and don't wanna admit Dota handles their shit better

Sounds like they were stressful and harsh for those who had received the penalty...but this just moved from concentrated costs for the punished player to dispersed costs for many more players.

Question: you note that there is a difference between ranked and normals with respect to playing to win...how do you reconcile this with "play to win" being the #1 rule in the Code of Conduct, with instructions "DON'T: Queue up if you’re not serious about trying to win?"
