Can we have a true solo queue?

Club boosted (duo's) makes this game Hell.

EDIT: I mean, putting more thought into it. Often duos fight against other duo's (at least in unranked and I assume it to be similar ranked) but that doesn't equate to much, primarily in lower ELOs. But as a result you end up with groups of greater difference in ability and game knowledge include even unranked, which could very well be a new player, or a god tier players, throwing it all out of balance. So you end up having a lot more influence in the game as a duo, than a solo player. So it starts looking like a "who has the better duo" rather than he's 5 random people, and as a solo player, it can feel like a 2v1 cause the duos always working together. Or a support that sticks closely to adc, lots of little things that build up to make a more difficult game. Arguably our duo would have a similar "bonus" if you will, but realistically it doesn't always happen. For example, duo top, jg vs adc, support. From what I've seen a duo bot usually has more success than any duo solo lanes or jungle mixes. Second, because how duos can be set up, the skill level and game knowledge may not match up (reference my comment about unranked players). Lastly I just want even playing field, a testament of how well 5v5 of randoms goes, and duos make the the opposite happen. The very existence of flex is a testament of how having a team can affect the game, so why allow duos?

No, because you're supposed to invite your friends, and, in case you play botlane, invite your boy/girlfriend to play Xayah or Rakan and don't forget to buy all of their skins as well.

Better than boosting, their unraked friend, in gold and silver games. So yeah, a lot better.

I don't get what club boosting is. Legit.

Just a fancy way of saying duo partner. Since the adding of clubs it seemed appropriate.

I feel like luck is a great factor to games in silver because you never know if the gold 5 you got on your team is boosted...... im used to seeing the gold 5 on my team losing to the enemy silver in their lane and the gold 5s on the enemy team losing to our lane or even better, having someone who's unranked play placements for the first time :D

... sigh I should just stop playing support

Lol, I actually have a lot of success play support. Because unlike other roles your is one of control. Not to mention, if you gonna pair with someone, why not be the adc? DPS, can take objectives, pair it with a tank support an you've got a carry lane.
