I dare not to agree with you.

The system that functiones now is just beyond absurd. Firstly, you talk about "falling an entire league". Nope, just 25LP and promotion series (Ok, promotion series is something, but look at comment Deshiba made and I responded. Introducing "dodge system" would solve the problem.) On elo system that was the same, only difference is that now beeing in a league is conidered as something, it has a fancy animation and all that crap. Riot wanted to make it more competitive so you can aim for a target, but where's the satisfaction of taking an objective that every noob can have with no worries of losing it?

You say about noobs, trolls, afkers and so on. Now think: now it's like: "Oh, I'm Gold V with 0 LP. I will troll a game and what can you do to me? I will not fall down!". It would take a while to stabilize, but noobs would fall down the ladder and you would not be bothered so much by them (for sure not more than on elo system). Sharpening the system of AFK reports (like "You left a game so you will lose twice the LP your team lost.") would also make problem of afkers less.

Finally, losing your league would be a signal to you, "Man, you are doing it wrong, improve and show them that you are not a noob!". We all know lose streaks happen, but just like in elo system, earlier of later you will be at least very close to division and league you truly deserve. Elo was raw numbers, but it gave at least some judgement about your skill (after playing some games, 200-300). Now every that count is - Bronze are total noobs, Diamond and Challenger are pros. And you can't judge rest by their league. Also, as I mention, if someone stays on division V it automatically means he deserves lower league. And now, biggest divisions are V...
