More Queues

I think there should be 3 queue types for ranked.

  1. Solo Queue

  2. Duo/Flex Queue (still no 4 man)

  3. Pre-made team

Being solo Q D1 has to be the same if not better than being Pro, Master, Challenger. I think if you pulled a professional player and put him solo in low gold (no team speak, discord, microphone), he'd be pretty bad. Pings can only convey so much and typing outside of recalling, walking from fountain or while death is just a no no. Which means, without team coordination and no idea of what his teammates are doing.

Think of the high team elo plays you see. They set up perfect ganks, know where the wards are, that Zac jumps from FoW just enough to be in play and they pick up the kill. That same play isn't possible in solo queue. Why? That jungler might not be coming to your lane, he could just be crossing to enemy jungle. You assumed he'd come top because that's why you're used to WITH YOUR TEAM and then bam, you over extend and get killed.

My brother is freaking Bronze and I think he's better than a lot of play players, but he only solo queues. I told him I can't duo with him because a loss in his elo would destroy my MMR and give me a major LP loss. And I can't bring him to my elo because he's not D1 material, but I think he'd destroy plat players.
