if the ranked ladder gets split but we still play together

riots been thinking about splitting the ladder from solo/duo and dynamic queue but, you still play together

its better for sure, but so long as players can still rank up even with the lack of a lower population beneath them, then i'd be ok with that.

the tentative mirror ranks are

bronze/copper silver/iron gold/steel plat/titanium (diamond + is solo/duo only)

im saying that if a player is playing a platinum level, but there just isn't a supportive bronze/silver population, my concern will be if that player can actually achieve platinum rank. or will copper/iron ranks take over and help him up to that rank.

(log scaling)

like say if the majority of the players who want to play solo were of platinum/titanium equivalent skill level, but would it be possible to have a ladder where there are fewer bronze/silver players than there are gold and platinum players?
