Duos...

Repo··2 votes·1,478 views

Am I the only one annoyed with duo's in ranked when you're trying to solo queue, and you get that one duo every important match that feeds or is BM as heck and then afk's or rage quits after somebody doesn't surrender or tries to help them? I mean I honestly am, and I don't know how that could be stopped without taking out duo queues.. but I mean I would love if I could opt out of playing with duo queues on my team.

This is bias.

There are duo-queues in most games. You don't notice them. You only notice the really bad ones, and then associate that bad behaviour with duo players in general.

And it's certainly not limited to duos. Solo players are also often bad-mannered, AFK, or ragequit.

This. I duo with my friends all the time, but people never know because we never say we're duo, none of my friends ever call "bot with melon" or any ridiculousness like that, and we rarely even type in all chat unless there's something really important that we need to communicate that can't be sufficiently portrayed with pings. I feel like everyone gets more duos in their games then they think; I know I've never been called out by anyone for being duo and I assume it's because no one knows.

Explain what it is bias towards? Because there are many external apps that say if they are duo. and I have rarely had one that is decent. I rather have a solo afk because it is only one person. IMO these people shouldn't even be here.

bias /ˈbʌɪəs/ noun 1. inclination or prejudice for or against one person or group, especially in a way considered to be unfair.

It's unfair for you to use duo as a blanket term for toxic feeders who are only good for making you lose games and going afk. I know there are many things you can use to see if someone is duo or not, but normally people don't check. If they do they certainly don't call them out for being duo partners and shouldn't go on tilt the whole game just because they got matched with a duo. I understand that some duos are toxic, but that doesn't mean you can make a blanket statement about duos being bad. There are just as many bad solo players as there are duo, maybe even more.

I did not say give me the definition, I passed the 4th grade. I for one never said I go on "tilt" When I see I am with a duo, I am not even a toxic player, I try to keep the team positive. I don't even mention they are a duo the entire game. And I did not say I have had no good duo players, I just simply said that I rarely get a duo that is decent. And also as i said before, I rather have one person rage quit or afk, than two.

All I want when there is a duo for the game to tell me "These two people are a duo." That way I can adjust accordingly.

Nobody likes duoQers. If there was this option, they might aswell remove duoQ as there would be no 5th man in any team.

Kind of what I would prefer.

Maybe this is a sign you should duo yourself, at least so you have that 1 person you can rely on that will actually perform an not feed. You cant discount that everyone at some point has a bad game, no one has great games all the time. Seriously though having a duo partner will only help maybe make it easier for you or at least a better game experience.
