TL:DR DUOS IN SOLO/DUO RUIN GAMES

Duos ruin the game. Makes no sense to have solo/duo if we have flex. I was just in a game where two people were talking about how their skype disconnected and they kept going afk to try and fix it and cost us the game. But that is just one of my stories. Everything I'm about to list has happened to me more than once and I'm finally fed up.

On your team:

• Extreme match ups like a Bronze 5 and a Silver 1 completely skewing mmr and making the game unbalanced (skill wise) across the board for both teams.
• Two friends think they don't need to communicate with the team and ignore everyone costing the game.
• Two friends get complimentary roles like bot lane or jg + top/mid lane and try to help each other out more than the team and cost the game.
• Two friends who can hold remake/forfeit votes hostage.
• Two friends who back eachother's stupid decisions up immediately without thinking, costing the game.
• potential for two trolls to ruin the game.
• Allows for easier, less detectable boosting via smurfs.
• Possibility of insta champ locking friends in the lobby taking roles they want so they can play with each other

On Enemy team:

• If you're someone who actually cares about a fair and balanced game, any of the former statements would make winning for you easier and therefore you should be bothered that you're not actually gaining any experience from defeating a tilted team. Same concept of fairness and honor would apply if you had a booster smurf on your team and they were carrying for you.
• More likely to get boosting enemies who are so much better than you, that you don't stand a chance.
• Not impossible for none of the aforementioned statements to apply to the opposite team and thus having to face a more organized cooperative enemy (Although this is extremely rare).

Keep in mind that solo duo also has the potential of matching you on a team of 2 + 2 +1, you being the solo and the other duos being friends and thus doubling the latent issues.

If we had a 100% solo only ranked que that would great, and I don't see why its solo/duo if we have flex. People who are ok dealing with all of that unbalanced disaster prone trash can use flex.

While I'm at it I feel I should mention that all chat is completely unnecessary to ranked and is in fact a detriment to it and should be removed in all ranked ques.
