People will do anything to get to the Gold 5 threshold.
The number or boosters/Smurfs and scripters has skyrocketed (and it was high before)
Riot needs to remove Duo as an option for ranked. If you want to play with friends you play normals.
Friends boosting and Payed boosters ruin the game even more then Smurfs do.
Kats Pajamas3 votesRemoving duo is a terrible idea because not all champions are strong in soloq.
Katarina for example is a trash tier mid, that is more like a jg battle mage that just farms mid, and then ganks with her jungler, compensating her lane pressure with map pressure instead.
Without a premade jungle, this is most often a terrible experience, and a loss, and a premade jungle makes all the difference in the world for her playstyle.
ADC/support is a similar situation. Is it fair to give an ADC some random support every game if he is good, or allow him to choose his partner that he is supposed to be coordinated with all game?
The answer is obvious. They will never remove duo.
5050BS1 votesAnd you just pointed out another reason WHY it should be SoloQ only in ranked. If a team has a Duo or two they have a massive advantage over the other team.
But that is not the reason I pointed out. Its the Boosting that happens that ONLY can happen because of Duo's are allowed.
Kats Pajamas1 votesUhh, I didn't JUST point out the advantage, I pointed out that it's a silver lining, and certain champions would become completely nonviable solely because they cannot duo.
Duo jungle is NOT a superior strategy to having an ADC/Support but you're kidding yourself if you think it wouldn't come to that point eventually when people aren't even allowed to have experience working together.
It literally has nothing to do with one player being better than the other, it's that two players must play specifically with each other to gain what's known as 'synergy'.
Kalista is already garbage tier, you seriously think having no possible option to duo would benefit her? Or should we buff her so she can soloq, but then becomes an unstoppable monster in pro-team play? The game is 100% a team game, and duo que allows more viable champions. If no one is going to work together, we already know Master Yi is the best choice.
