Bronze League has for years been the bottom 32% of League players in ranked play. Many players have been plagued by this League by the rampant, persistent Ragers/Trolls/AFK's/Feeders forcing players that normally wouldn't belong in Bronze to stay there by constant losses that are of no fault of their own.

Likewise, there are a number of players who simply cannot keep up with the level of competition that is presented in Bronze. Due to the fact that there is a high concentration of players that are "stuck" in Bronze despite being quality players and the levels of pervasive "smurfing" of higher elo players making new accounts just to climb the ladder again, players who normally "should" be in Bronze are pushed even further down the ladder to Bronze V for eternity because they are always paired with opponents far superior to themselves despite being in the same League.

This petition is to request Riot Games to create a NEW tier of ranked play. We have tentatively called this "Iron League". But any number of substitutions have been suggested over the years such as "Coal" "Wood" "Onyx" "Copper" "Tin" or "Lead" tiers.

The distinction isn't important. The point is that there is a large number of players who simply cannot keep up with the higher quality players that are stuck in the same tier and the smurfs who cheat the system and further punish players lesser than themselves.

This Iron League would help solve a number of problems currently faced by Bronze Tier players. As it stands right now there is still way too wide a margin of skill between even players in Bronze V. A suggested placement for this league would split Bronze Tier from being the Top 68-100% to instead having Bronze consist of the Top 68-89% and have the Iron League consist of the Top 90-100% of players. 

Riot Games has already shown that the League Tier system is not unchangeable. As just this past season we've had the inclusion of a new "Master Tier" between Diamond and Challenger to create an even more exclusive pool of the best of the best. 

We believe it's time we do the same for the lower tier players of Ranked Play. If you agree, sign this petition and help us in the creation of a new League Tier System that is fair for everyone.
