@RIOT - DON'T IMPLEMENT RANKED "DUO" WE WANT "PURE SOLO-Q EXPERIENCE FOR ALL ELOS

BläzeD··7 votes·1,300 views

The reason is simple, As many won't like what i will say. As well you wouldn't manage to get your "friend" to one elo he doesnt' fit on, and the ladder would be adjusted accordally to Skill Cap. It would decrease boosting, players wouldn't be distracted to think "with who is he duoing" It would stop smurfs from high elo playing with there low tier friends to get there gold border!

Give us one Solo-Que Option, we deserve to experience it, don't go back to the same system where Solo-Q and Duo were just all about 2 guys coordinating Jungle and Mid / Bot Support and own everyone if they were experienced players on smurf accounts. Let them be all for themselfs and climb the ladder fairly

I at least speaking for myself, want to experience climbing a Ranked ladder on my own, i don't want a partner in my ranked games, because that kills the feeling of accomplisment on climbing

SoloQ propose 1/1/1/1/1 vs 1/1/1/1/1 don't make games where it's a 1/1/1/2 vs 1/1/1/2 <-- this ain't solo que! This is still allowing one person to play with you in ranked games where falls down to one premade and the odds vary largely in this players... how good they do and how bad they do.. Other reason this would avoid conflicts in the champion select, because premades tend to say " ME AND RANDOM GUY: WE BOT, ME AND RANDOM GUY: JUNGLE, HE MID, if they don't get their roles in this new system i will bet people will start to ask others if they can go bot or mid if not they will say "I will feed or i will troll or i can't play this role, i just filled this role because "input brainless head in a bucket"

If is so, it kills the propose on having a Flex-Que oriented to players, there's no logic.

Riot! Do you want to have 2 separate ladders each Solo(SoloQ) and Team(FlexQ Duo Trio etc?) or do you still wanna keep the same circus?!

Let the Flex-Q get it's meaning "Get a team of friends where you can actually play with them in a ranked game or create a team to play Competitively"

Come on Riot i know you can do this let us have one Ladder for us all where we can test our skills and try to climb with no additional help from others.

It is just sad that no one from Riot Staff actually see's this..

i dream of a land where solo queue is a real thing. solo/duo should be called carry/carried or troll/flame

all the problems of ranked are caused by players having a pregame strategy. pregame strategies are for full team compositions. anything else should be reaction based. allowing pregame strategy conflicts with that very idea of balance

I really agree with this, but my point is more focused towards the general points of the game, avoiding high elo joining a bronze/silver/gold/platinum account/smurf to play with is other friend to boost him all the way up throw the ladder, prolly what they will say to his friend is to pick a champion with CC, and use the CC on the right timing in the teamfight, if that high elo player is really experienced in the game, he can carry the game with his eyes closed. But the issue remains, pre-coordinated moves, pre-coordinated strategies. We need to take this out of equation and the only way to fix this, would be the remove of Premades in Solo-Q, this would make everyone for itself, and there wouldn't be no way to talk in the game or making coordinated CC's damage etc.

There was no issue with solo/duo before. It's gonna be fine.

It's not like there was 0 issues, it's that possibility to play with a partner every now and than always outweighed them for vast majority of the playerbase.

There are very few, if any, die-hard solo players, who don't duo every now and than even if only to untilt themselves.

they why cater to them if everyone wants to play duo?

i feel like you just assumed i dont exist. i would solo queue every day if it werent for the fact that it's pointless.

the reason why players play together is because you have to or you're already at a disadvantage. any competitive game proves that especially one like league where you have to coordinate with allies or you lose. there are already 5v5 and 3v3 team compositions. why do we need to have a special mode for people to get carried? at least with a true solo queue game players wouldnt have to wait as long for a custom tailored vs match because 5 divided by 2 or 3 or 4 isnt a whole number. auto fill would still be active and that would speed it up even more.

match search would be like

1st choice

top... 52 jungle... 46 mid... 108 bottom... 60 support... 3


2nd choice

top... 30 jungle... 27 mid... 200 bottom... 44 support... 1


refuse to play

top... 20 jungle... 69 mid... 4 bottom... 15 support... 437

which is more flexible?

fill/fill - no support

or

mid/jungle - no support

or

mid/jungle - no support, fill/fill - no support?

obvious answer is the solo player who got auto-filled. that will speed up queue times and if flex is being kept that is where the duo's should be. 2 mans, and 3 mans would be flex mode. 3v3's and 5v5's need to be kept in their own team bracket. how people cant get their heads around that simple concept is beyond me.

In Answer to your quote, i am a player since Season 3 i have been playing this game alone in ranked games, i am not gonna say " i've never duo, i have but likely 5 to 15 games per season, depending on my mood and if someone wanted really to play with me this is the case." I am a solo player that like competitiveness and thrive for it, i don't like to partner with someone, becausein my way of seeing things there's no achievement on climbing with someone and there is no real skill no real knowledge. Because coordinating moves with a friend is one thing, having real impactful skill as one person in the game is other. This game never was made to be playing ranked games alone it was always team oriented this is true, but you can also be team oriented if you get knowledge as much as you play the game time and time, to deep understand it and your team fills the dots (What champions are we lacking CC? Damage? Utility?) This would be a change forward to the game, but the devs will never see this, or will ever take this words. I have passion for this game and i would love one option that we could have to test ourselfs against others not making matchs unfair. I believe all of us deserve fair matchs.

People have been demanding a solo queue since ever, what are you on about? DQ itself was a reaction to that, we were promised a pure solo queue in addition to DQ. Then they gave us DQ and broke the promise of a solo queue. Now they are bringing the old duo queue back in addition to the DQ, all the while pretending that was what we were asking all along.

This.. is the fact we on. Riot is bringing back the old ranked system, we have been asking for a solo-q experience since maybe around season 3, and after 3 seasons they gave us the Dynamic-Q in each i have said it when it was on PBE "That ranked system won't ever coexist with the players that play this game competitively alone" because it was flawed, to many issues with it. Long story short, after Season 7 Returns they announce once again the reintroduction of Solo/Duo in which we weren't asking at all for it, but one Solo-Q (SOLO = ALONE).

HAVE FUN EXITING ANY ELO BELOW DIAMOND 2 WITHOUT DUO LEL

Meh, duo is fine once you get to plat +. Since diamonds can't duo with most plays and at that level two people don't carry as hard lol

Duo is only fine once you get to master and challenger.
