I still think that lying about your skill is worse than just showing - "hey, you are not really good." It really depends on how do you take the league system - most think that it reflects your skill level. And no, it doesn't. "The ranking system is just the colorful stickers your teacher would place on your report card to show how well you've done that week." Well, yes, but good teacher has to give you F sometimes, doesn't he? It's kind of motivation, but I think it depends of your mindset. I just think "Wot, a game would show me that I CAN'T do something?! I will show that I CAN!". Achieving next league is a moment of satisfaction, but it just flies away when you see that lots of noobs and people that deserve bronze are here with you. Essence of playing LoL are: fun and competition. And competition has to award winners in some way. And I think that you will be less happy if you got gold medal that everyone else have - awards that are in possetion of everyone aren't awards. Do you feel satisfied when you get achievement "You pressed start button!"?
