Remember back in the day matchmaking actually artificially elevated your total duo MMR because you were a duo?
Then you got rid of that last season for DQ.
Has it come back now with this season's solo Q?

LostFr0st1 votesWhy wouldn't they have re-implemented it? Duo queue gives a tactical advantage that needs to be accounted for in matchmaking.

Well they removed it for DQ so that's why I'm asking.
LostFr0st1 votesNo, they didn't. Where was something like that posted? They made it so that premades more than 3 meant more depending on how many there were. For the first few days any premade over 2 had almost the same handicap so people were getting rolled by 3,4, and 5 mans. They didn't remove it, they improved the scaling.

They did remove it.
It was like on a web page about all the changes.
LostFr0st1 votesA link would be more helpful, since I'm more than sure they didn't.

I know for a fact they did.
I will now spend 2 minutes looking it up for you.
Anymore than that and you have to gift me RP for my time.
It actually only took 18 seconds.

You are a lazy shit.
LostFr0st1 votesI didn't look it up at all because I was so sure about it. However, if you insist, I shall research it.
The change you're referring to was indeed done last pre-season, but they reverted it during last season due to instanced of unfair matchmaking and winrates indicating that more games were won simply by queueing up together (obvious reason really). http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/features/dynamic-queue-and-future-league You can't just stop the investigation at the first link... There's actually a series of such tweaks throughout last year to tweak matchmaking.
tldr: looks like we were both right. I apologize for doubting that it ever happened.

Can you find me the revert text in your link? I don't see it anywhere.

onenineseven1 votesthis mmr logic is tragic i am playing with my friend gold 3 and i am gold 5 and still dropping. even with plat it drops ffs. i have silver 3 mmr and i cant even go more that 30 points on gold v . im all the time with the same team with unranked and silver 4. well i hope i was on silver 5 to play with golds for the mmr tactics .[zombie-brand-facepalm]
Surr20plz1 votesI would like to see it stay removed because it seems like an unsound idea.
Just match duos vs duos and leave the mmr thing out.
Because you don't know whose going to be vs who, and in this game the biggest piece of shit loses the match regardless of how well you and your friend from kindergarden can communicate on discord.
MunchCrunchLunch1 votestwo games ago i went against duo. when to op.gg they have 80% winrate over 20 games. cool stuff right. thats the pattern with every dedicated duo queuers. they always have 70% winrate if they do it regularly. its always a jungler and a laner
if you have a laner that invades the other jg with you and wards enemy jg for you on demand. there is no fucking thing the enemy jungler can do to beat yu

I see your point, but for every like tag team champion duo there are 2 clowns who go to middle school together and are playing supp and top. Is it fair for the rest of us to have to take an MMR penalty for them?
Surr20plz1 votesThanks!
That seems to be in reference to a certain situation pertaining to the nature of DQ premades vs non premades (groups of 5 vs groups of 3).
The question I'm asking is are we back to ye olde system from prior to DQ.
