How to deal with the current ranked system.
Hello!
Today I got an idea to make everyone happy so I made a post on reddit :) This is quite long so I won't copy/paste it here ^^ I copy/paste it cause it got removed -_- (I forgot the No vote manipulation or group voting rule from reddit and the moderators would have still deleted it fro DQ subject.)
Feel free to comment and to add ideas [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
Hi! I am xerrio and I think that I found an idea to make EVERYONE happy with the ranked system :)
First bring back sol... ITS A JOKE XD
Okay ^^" Let me explain:
In the past, for those who don't know, we used to have two ranked queues: one with only solo and duo players called "solo queue" and one with 5 players premade called "ranked team" where you got your team roaster and your team name :) Nowadays, a lot of people are complaining about the new Dynamic queue that just wiped both queues to take their place and at the same time the new champion select system was added.
I could list a lot of problems and advantages to the DQ system, but this is not the subject. I want everyone to have what they want without overloading the servers or making queues too long or being unfair in a way or another. I want everyone to be happy.
So I came with the idea that in RANKED matches:
- Dynamic queue could be fused with the old "team ranked" queue (TADAAAA!!). Adding back the team system with a roaster and a name displayed in-game like the clubs are today. => the Dynamic Team Queue ^(I'm a genius)
- Adding the famous soloQ next to it for the hardcore gamers, streamers, profesionals or those like me who enjoy having fair matches against themselves without having friends in their legs (or worse....PL!).
- Both queues would keep the new champion select system because it is cool^awsome^fun^stylized
- Both queues have differents LPs and ranks. the LP^solo and the LP^team. The LP^team are self to each team. MMR gains are explained under.
I don't need to explain how does the soloQ works, so I will explain why it would work EVEN with a premade ranked queue next to it:
Edit: I know that soloQ was cancelled recently. But it was cancelled because RIOT said that both queues would'nt coexist. And here is my solution, both queues can coexist!
The problem with that Dynamic Team Queue would be when 4 players want to play together, they would'nt find anyone to fill the gap: each solo player would go in the soloQ and leave the DTQ. But here comes my idea! When you play in a team of 4 premades and you are the last one playing solo, that means that you have to be way more impactful than when you are only with soloQers, right? So you need a better reward....riiiight? :D So what about solo players being allowed to join a DTQ alone to get LP^solo for the SoloQ and to get more LP^solo than in SoloQ until they reach a high Solo level (plat or something like that)? Queueing solo in the DTQ doesn't improve your DTQ mmr but your SoloQ one, queueing premade in DTQ change your DTQ mmr and of course queueing in SoloQ change your SoloQ mmr.
Ahaaaaah! This is interesting, right? This would promote (but not forces!) Dynamic Team Queue at low-elo and let both choices (DTQ and SoloQ) at high-elo. And I know that the majority of players are around silver, so it seems legit to me :)
- DTQ have the same level difference restriction than the actual DQ.
- In DTQ, the more people of the same team are in the DTQ, the more each team will get LP. Team X has 2 players = less LP gain/loss than the ally Team Y that have 3 players in the game. Queueing at 4/5 premades gives you or make you lose even more LP^team.
In normal matches:
- Everything stays the same as today: Dynamic Queue (no DTQ or SoloQ, only DQ) / ARAM / Rotative Gamemode
- Solo Queue does not exist, it would create too much queues.
Another thing is that I don't want clubs to disapears, I would just like to have my name displayed like that: TeamTAG myname ClubTAG. I am sure that pro players would be happy not to have to change their teamTAG (and spend money) each time they go into another pro team :) Also, to avoid hard focus onto the last man in a 4-1 vs 4-1 in DTQ, display the teamTAG of the 4 premades above the last player. ^(furtivity!)
I thanks everyone who had the courage to read everything and I would like everyone to have an opinion in the comments because the more ideas you have, the more solutions will come and fastest will come better days for League of legends :)
Love you all ^(not you thought...you are ugly -_-)
TL;DR: Both premade and solo queues can now coexist with my solution!
