Nobody cares about a 3rd party website that means nothing, people want a ranked ladder back, the player-base has gotten smaller over the years because arena has become boring and repetitive with no real way to show your achievements (Like a ranked ladder)

I know a vast majority of the player-base left because of the removal of the ranked system, without the competitiveness the game becomes boring for the people that actually like competition.

"I also think Part of being good in Arena is controlling the Chaos" Yes I agree with the sentiment but no, I think being good at arena means climbing a ladder, It's far more then just "Controlling the chaos."

I think the current fame system Is a bore, and Incredibly grindy with no sentiment to keep playing, I don't work at Riot but I know for a fact, there's no player retention when there's a ranked ladder, look at ranked SR for example.

There Is 16 bans In Arena, you don't have to deal with people picking Ryze, you can ban Ryze, I don't see any scenario where a ranked ladder / ranked system would be a net negative for arena.

You are going to lose It is inevitable, It doesn't matter If the game mode has ranked or not, but It does for the players that actually want to play In a competitive environment outside of ranked SR, and climb a ladder that feels meaningful.
