Ranking Based on Position RIOTPLS
I think it'd be awesome to get an elo system specific to each role with the addition of team builder to the game. If riot goes full guns-ho with their new pro-meta stance in season 4, it'd be WONDERFUL to be able to be placed in ranked games based on how good you are at the position you que for.
Benefits of Position Rankings:
-SMURFS! Yes, smurfs will fall off hard whenever a diamond I mid player can play top at a lower elo.
-More accurate teams! If everyone on the team has the elo of the position that they're playing, the games will be better in general.
-Less facerolling: players will be closer to the same skill level.
-Less stupid mistakes will be made because you know that your opponents are just as good at the position as each person on your team.
-Support "easy" and "non-influential" stereotypes will fade when all of the bad supports are in the bad elos. Support mains will become more popular as a result.
I'm probably missing some benefits, but I'll stop here unless this post gets attention.

I like the idea.
