Improving Ranked - Fresh Idea
**3 Ranked playlists. **
Dynamic Queue - Current system unchanged (replaces and acts as old ranked 5v5 team playlist)
Lone Wolf - You may only queue alone.
Champion's arena - Diamond 1, Master, Challenger. promoted here from Lone wolf.
How it works:
-
Lone wolf and Champions arena share ranks while dynamic queue has it's own ranking system.
-
When you hit Diamond 1 in Lone Wolf, this queue locks and the Champion's Arena becomes available. We can change the cutoff to enter the **Champion's Arena ** to D2 if needed to increase the population of players and regulate queue times.
-
Dynamic queue would be clearly defined as the group playlist. This increases Clarity that dynamic queue is for groups. You will match up against premades. Go play lone wolf if you don't like that.
Questions
1) Isn't this the same as: "bring back Solo Queue"
NO. This adds clarity to the current system by clearly separating solo players from premades (no duos in lone wolf). Most importantly, it allows Riot to address the matchmaking needs of solo players, premades, and high elo players separately by altering individual playlists.
2) _What about ranked teams? We can play in groups but they aren't official "teams" _
You can make ranked teams with a roster of players. When you enter Dynamic Queue with 5 people from your team roster, you will earn points towards that team's rank.
3) _How are you so smart _
