Promo Helper + Dynamic Queue Premades = Bronze/Silver Players easily carried to Gold/Plat 5?
My worst experiences prior to DQ were some of the duo games on my team I'd randomly run into, now we have Promo Helper making it relatively super easy to get up the ranks until you reach Plat 5 (using the brute force tactic of just playing endless games & getting lucky with teams), on top of that DQ makes those who group with others (which would not include me as I prefer PURE solo queue) more likely to rise up the ranks as long as they have online friends who can carry hard enough.
From some of my recent experiences with players, it feels likely that many of the players we see in Gold/Low Plat today probably would belong in High Bronze/Silver if it were pure Solo Queue without microphone communication. Have personally found it a lot less fun as of very recently, maybe it's just me.
I'd LOVE a pure solo queue where I'd never have to play with so much as a duo.
