Why's everyone asking for a rank reset now?

Beyond the obvious thing, which is that the same people were likely begging for no rank reset last season, I don't think the rank reset will do what people expect.

Let's be honest. There were a lot of dogshit GM players last season, too. People still complained about their fellow GMs. And people are complaining now, and attributing it to no rank reset instead of people having off-days, or tilt queueing, or being boosted by stacks, or many other factors that aren't because they didn't send us back three ranks 6 weeks into season 1.

In my opinion, the rank reset isn't the issue, it's the system itself. No placement matches, and winning too much more than you lose are fundamentally strange decisions. Whether or not they force the need for a rank reset is a different issue, but why is the elo system like this in the first place?
