Riot can we please remove premades from SOLO queue?

General Esdeath ··11 votes·1,177 views

I'm getting really sick of seeing a premade on either team that doesn't belong in that elo but gets boosted up there because the system assumes they're communicating on a telepathic level and will play better because they're pre-made. ESPECIALLY the ones that ask for adc/sup because "we're premade" but then have no idea how to play the role.

I also feel there should be a dedicated SOLO Que devoid of duos. Duos hold too much control of a game. How many times have we experienced a toxic duo bot who force feeds the enemy team and then proceeds to flame the jungler for their failure? How about when they refuse to surrender in spite of donating 14 kills between the both of them, quoting: "No you're going to lay in the bed you made"? Whenever I play with a duo que they typically ruin the game by their attitudes alone, always ganging up on the player who is doing the worst OR by being the worst players but blaming everyone else. Let the duo que players go to FLEX, the game mode designed for groups to climb. Let the solo quers face the challenge of four potatoes on their team without the toxicity of duos.

Its called SOLO/DUO queue. That means both SOLO And 2 man premades are welcome. Why would they remove it?

Because premades can go to flex queue now

I don't think you understand the point of flex queue. Flex Queue was implemented so that groups of friends could play ranked together. Groups of 3+ can use it as a way to play together, without being forced to go into a Normals game.

The queue you're complaining about is called Solo/Duo queue, not "Solo Queue". Most people refer to it only as "Solo" queue, because for the most part, they play alone. But it still open for Duo's.

Is 2 not a group?

Wasn't implying that it is or isn't. What I was pointing out is that Flex Queue wasn't created with the sole purpose of giving duo's a way to play ranked together, but rather giving groups of 3+ players an option to play ranked together.

EDIT: And, as far as technicalities go, no. 2 is not a group, but rather a pair.

I'm a math guy so 2 is a group for me (ty algebra)

Flex is for 3 or 5 man premades.

You can also play it solo or duo.

And tell that to adc/supp that try to climb solo in this meta.

General Esdeath 1 votes

In the meta where support items are busted and can keep an adc alive longer than a tank? Easy enough to climb

AleksaTeemo1 votes

Then only to adc.And heck,if you play tank supports,you aint gonna climb.

General Esdeath 1 votes

I didn't say tank support, I said a tank. Tanky support are known to be tanky through base stats and skills to boost those like Braum Leona W

Yeah and when they engange,nobody folows up.

They're just sponges without a good adc to follow up, like a premade where you can talk :^)

AleksaTeemo1 votes

Which is why its solo/DUO

But they're not guaranteed to get their adc/sup role, so they sometimes force others out of the role.

AleksaTeemo1 votes

That counts for every player.

Except no other role requires 2 people in the same lane
