Very simple: The fact that I'm climbing faster and retaining my new rank (with the system's help) is making me an overall better player because:
- I'm facing better players on the opposite team FASTER (didn't happen before). When I first get there, I get stomped, but I always look back and try to improve on my mistakes so when I come back, I'm a bit better.
- After a couple of losses (and with the help of the demotion protection) and wins, I'm able to improve to the point of really being relevant next time I face these team compositions.
- After this grind (loose, win, train, improve) I am managing to climb and get past that previous blockage.
- When I face plat players now, I able to put up a great fight (again, didn't happen before).
That's it. How do you feel about the system? Do you think it's helping you too?

Riot needs to add a vote kick feature really badly
I know people say it will be abused but they can disable it for groups of 3 or more. I have had 3 people deranking and two intentionally throw our of my last 10 games and it really ruins the experience. Almost no one wants to play a 4v5 but...
