Just another hour wasted because of One person

For a team game, 1 person tends to decide the match way too often.

I would love for the que system to get much stricter in ranked. 5 games in a row of bad. Even when i play well, i cant control the other lanes.. and now im demoted due to feeders and leavers, though i know someone will have the response "Challenger players make smurfs and climb all the time" And that's a terrible argument since they are in an incredibly small percentile of highly skilled player, and i know im not anywhere near that good, i just want a good experience in ranked more often than a bad one, i dont mind losing a good game. Truly i dont.

Whatever. It isnt like this post will do anything or change anything. Its simply another expression of solo Q being unbalanced.

MAYBE You have to earn the right to solo Q. Not anything too difficult, but hard enough to make it a little less common to have baddies. Like play a game of SR before being allowed to play Soloq (A game the day of)

Just a concept idea to be thought of by a more educated Rioter

The problem with this line of thinking is assuming that people who perform badly in a game are "baddies." Too few people acknowledge that a great player can still be completely destroyed by an even better one. People accuse others of being Elo/MMR boosted for getting smashed, when it's very possible that they're in their correct tier and just got outperformed by someone about to fly up the ranks.
