Changes To Ranked
So I have been playing this season since the start now, and although I do think a lot of the changes have been good, however the biggest thing I am noticing is that as soon as you hit platinum you ar...

@Elysian_Sky and what is the difference for Rookies that have to constantly ply vs Silvers or Golds and can not seem to rank up. Or Golds that are trying to get to plat but constantly get rookie or Bronze players for teammates.
Part of the solution is as I suggested in my previous post here. The other part would be a part of MM.
Rookie players can only play with or vs other Rookie's and Bronze.
Bronze can play with or vs Rookie, Bronze and Silver.
Silver can play with or vs Bronze, Silver and Gold.
Gold can play with or vs Silver, Gold and Plat.
Plat can play with or vs Gold, Plat or Diamond.
Diamond can play with or vs Plat, Diamond or Master/Pred.
Master's/Preds can play with Diamond or Master's/Pred.
This would seem to me to fix the issue for all. The only problem I foresee is that Diamond (possibly Plat) rank and above will have longer wait times for MM because there just are not really all that many of them.
That would work, if preds weren’t pushing plats back to gold
Not only that it would provide a safer place for rookies to learn ranked play instead of pitting them vs Silver or Gold ranked players.
I feel bad (for them and me) when I eliminate a true Rookie player.
