Please. Make. 1v1. 2v2. Ranked. Gamemode.
Howlying abyss. first blood/first turret/first to ___cs or something. Easy to implement. No autofill. No bad teams. Best of all?
You could finally have an individual skill metric that didn't require players to waste countless hours in games where their performance didnt matter.
I know what critics will say "its a team game". But if its a "team game" why does solo queue feel like it is us VS our own team? If its a "team game" why is 99% of all flaming amongst "teammates"? It isn't a team game. Teammates are supposed to be assets. In a flawed matchmaking system, they are liabilities. That is the cause of most frustration, toxicity, etc.
1v1 would not only give players an outlet free of this solo queue torture, it could also help give Riot a clue as to how good players are. I'm not saying 1v1 rank should supersede solo queue, but I'm saying if someone is hardstuck iron 1v1, they shouldnt place Silver after a few lucky placements on summoners rift. If a player is Master in 1v1, they shouldn't place gold on summoners rift.
The potential for 2v2 on howling abyss is also there.... and I know. Twisted Treeline isn't played much... but thats because it suffers from the SAME PROBLEMS as summoners rift. You still have ganks and other lanes that can throw when you want the game to be determined by YOUR PERFORMANCE.
