Queue system is garbage and needs to be fixed, here's my suggestions.
Hello all, as I've started climbing, I've come to realize the queue system is so easily abused. Now what do I mean by abused? I mean there's people that are all the way up in gold 2 that are able to duoq boost with a silver 4! There's many issues I have with that but here are a few:
• It provides an unfair advantage/disadvantage to the enemy/allied team. It's not fair for the enemy team to have to deal with a low silver player/allied team to have to deal with a far better player than them.
• It allows dishonesty in getting your rank as duoq boosting that far apart in rank is clearly fine by riot.
• It makes it much harder for LEGITIMATE players like myself to climb when I get these occurrences in my games, we want fair games to test our skill level fairly and get better that way.
What I propose to do to fix the queue system overall:
• Allow people +-1 rank difference(so a silver 2 can play with silver 1,2,3 but nothing below or higher) in duo queue in all ranks.
• To help combat troll queues(friend suggested this IGN(NA): AkDuke) allow one free dodge a day but require them to wait out the 6 minute queue timer so they don't get back into the same troll lobby.
• If someone is on the verge of deranking instead of allowing them to play with someone 1 or 2 ranks below them to make it easier, have them play at their actual rank to see if they deserve it. However, on the contrary if the person is doing really good and has a good mmr, allow them to play with higher mmr people +1-2 ranks that way you don't have to remove skipping ranks.
