What I don't understand...
Why do people have so much hostility and hate for others in this game? I keep reading about these changes to ranked queue and I can't help but wonder why everyone thinks others will ignore or troll them.
Here's my reasoning for why people are overreacting:
Ranked is ranked. People want to win, that's why they play ranked. Why would anyone risk losing lp for a "huehue 4x. /ff our random is in promos." Better yet, what's the actual likelihood for this to happen in an environment completely different than normals?
You say you don't want to socialize, but this is a game about communication and teamwork. You are always socializing whether you like it or not. If you aren't playing your part in at least pings for information, you are already hindering the team.
Just because there are 3 or 4 people in a group, doesn't mean they won't talk through pings out text.
People aren't as bad as everyone seems to make them. What drives most people in ranked is the effort of winning. It is highly unlikely a group of teammates will turn around and bully you or anyone unless something antagonizes one another. There will be flamers, but those aren't as common in groups of premades.
The same goes for the solo guy, who says they won't flame, troll, or harass one of the premades or other solo players? It's a mixed bag anyways..
all in all people aren't really that bad. We all have our breaking points, but what makes a group of four random people you don't know any better than a group of four random people you don't know?
