Idea to Fix Dynamic Queue

I think if we sit down and discuss what everyone involved wants, we can come to a solution that mostly leaves everyone satisfied.

Solo Players

• want to feel like the ranked ladder standings they earn are accurately comparable to everyone else ranks. ie: ranked integrity
• want to feel like they aren't rising in rank far slower just because they aren't in a premade
• don't want there to be a huge easy way for people to get boosted by premades

Dynamic Players

• want to play a ranked mode with friends
• don't want to need exactly 5 people in order to play together

Left unsaid is that noone wants to deal with toxic players, but that's something to be handled by punishment/reward systems rather than the queue system in place.

I think we can solve for all of these cases like this:

Leave dynamic queue in the game as it is, but require that players must be in the same club and wearing the same club tag to queue up together in ranked. Then after the game, players in a club premade do not gain or lose any personal ranking - instead ranking points are added or removed from the club itself.

With this, players must play solo if they want to improve their individual rank, but they can queue up in the same pool with solo players and their friends if they want to in order to build up a club ranking. Premades no longer need exactly 5 like they did in the old rank teams system so its much easier to get into a ranked game with friends, and solo players know that their ranks are accurate since anyone else needed to play solo to get their personal rank as well. There's no chance for boosting a players personal rank since you can't get personal rank when in a premade. Ranked integrity is secure for individuals while letting smaller than 5 man premades queue up in ranked by filling in the gaps with solos. Matchmaking tuning will get to the point after some time where every match has a fairly even chance of each team winning regardless of premade compositions.

Solo players would be able to choose to give rank to their club or themselves before they queue up to if they wanted.
