There is an easy fix for some frustration in this game, when it comes to ranked play.
Make it so that it's possible to rank down from gold-->silver-->bronze etc. i do agree tho, that at a certain rank, you can't rank down. Diamond/master, as you actually have to play the game to be at those ranks anyway.
I mean, you can litteraly run the entire game, engage in no fights, and still rank up. this seem to be the main strat for noobs, resulting in them all being stuck in gold or even plat. This again makes it incredibly frustrating to play with randoms, when you have people who don't even know how to play the game. They engage in nothing, and would rather run the entire game, than to help you/take fights.
Don't get me wrong, this is obviously sometimes the right play, but more often than not, people just run/bait.
This is just one step in the right direction of ranked play. other issues with point rewards still needs looking into.
As stated above. it's way to easy to rank up to gold-plat, for not doing anything, resulting in terrible teamates most of the time.
With de-ranks you will get punished for not doing anything when you get to a certain point, be that silver/gold/plat/whatever.
