Please remove duo mmr boost

Quil Evrything··1 votes·892 views

A simple concrete example of why the buildin MMR duo boost neesd to go away, at low mmr. (bronze alt) obviously duo leblanc and rengar. they get an MMR boost, because "duo is stronger". but they were absolute horrors. leblanc 8 and 8. rengar 5 and 12. TWEELLVE.

the rengar tries to gank a level 6 tryndamere. as level 4 rengar. continues to do stupid things like that.

this duo basically made it 100% impossible to win the game. This is unfair to the rest of the team, right. duos at low elo do not mean they are better at the game. unless one of them is a booster. the only way numbers coudl show that duos are noticably stronger in bronze, is if one of them is boosting. which, lets face it, is far more common in bronze than any other elo. For one thing, the prices are cheaper.

most commonly, duos in low elo are just "two buddies having fun together". they have no idea how to play the game, OR actually work together.

Please stop the madness

Well, I don't know about smurf boosting, but I would like it if there was a better range for duos (aka Gold 1 can't queue with Silver 4).

you would "like it because you could play with your buddies". but how is that good for the game in any sense whatsoever? that would be horribly bad.

It would be bad if a G1 couldn't duo with a S4? Lol what? The range should only go up 5 divisions So a G1 could only duo with S1-P1. Instead of having a G5 being able to duo with a S5-P1.

They should just remove duo.

They need to get rid of Duo in Ranked. It should be SoloQ or Teams. Teams can have Duo Trio or 5 Man where 5 man is given the MMR Boost if not matched vs another 5 man.

i personally agree. "buddy duos", or any other size, should go to flex. however, i doubt they'll force that, since they just ADDED challengers being able to duo, after a long timeof denying it. So duo seems firmly embedded in their mission at present.
