I think the biggest issue with leagues is they are an even worse representation of skill than elo. Elo was alright, shaky at times, but did its job. Nobody refers to divisions in terms of skill, the most you hear is someone calling another bronze, which is kind of a sarcastic joke in itself due to the fact that someone who could easily be silver or maybe gold is stuck in bronze due to promos, unfortunate DCs, etc. Instead everybody refers to MMR, because it is the true way skill is determined (at least, much more so than league & divisions). While I think it's great that ranked play is at an all time high thanks to leagues, I think it would be for the best to go back to elo. Especially due to the debacle found at the top of the ranked ladder; diamond 1 promos is an outright nightmare. They shouldn't exist, period.
