3+2 or 1+1+1+1+1 in ranked. Not 4+1, not 2+1+1+1.
I believe I speak for most of us when I say, we're sick and tired of being teamed up with a team of people, and being forced to face a similar team of people who are all in chat and have an unfair advantage, different strategies, and the inability to communicate (because we are viewed as randoms and nobody likes to type any instructions anymore, mainly because most people won't listen if we do so we view it as futile.)
RIOT. Bruhs. Seriously. Enough of the team garbage. Give us a pure 1+1+1+1+1v1+1+1+1+1+1. I am willing to wait 10 minutes in queue if it assures that I'm placed in a team where I have an equal opportunity. As it is, (for me, from my own salty experience [it's a joke]) you're placed with three doughnuts + 1 + you, and you're against three nuclear weapons and two flamethrowers. Goddamn. Does. Not. Equal. Fun.
Keep the groups to their own room, and please, let us solo people face each other, solo, no teams involved, just the character, and the skill behind it. I don't think it's such a bad idea, and I wouldn't mind longer queue times, would you?
