i've got the bad luck of picking mid/top and always end up playing a 1v2 lane. And the fact that they might be communicating via skype or other kind of program is a huge disadvantage. Why is it even allowed?
Sorry for my bad english, guys.
Strat4 votesI agree, if people want to play with others they should play ranked 5s or normal games. SoloQ is there to measure individual skill and the existence of duo queues means people can be carried to ranks they don't deserve.
Don't get me wrong, I duo queue all the time with a friend of mine and I enjoy it, but I can recognise the clear disadvantages associated with it.

If someone was carried to a rank that they don't deserve then I don't see the problem because it's Freelo for you when you're VS them.. Even though it sucks playing against a Duo, I know that it sucks being a part of a team that won't listen to or make their own shotcalls. Lower elos of ranked SoloQ are just a bumble fuck of people who want to improve but don't know how and duoing helps you escape the cancer.
Also, when people do ranked DuoQ they are matched against people who have a higher MMR than the highest person in the Duo if I'm correct? I mean I'd rate my skill level as like Silver 3, Bronze 1 but sometimes I'm placed against Plats when I duo so I think it's completely fair for the advantage that we have.

Sorry about the late reply. Anyway, my point wasn't in terms of winning the game. I honestly don't care if someone sucks on my own team or the enemy team. I've done horribly in the past too, even when I'm in my correct Elo bracket.
My point was that it diminishes the value of holding a certain rank. People work hard to get to certain ranks. It's not always just about showing it off, sometimes it's for a personal sense of satisfaction. When people that don't deserve it get to a rank, it hurts. It's basically saying that your time and effort wasn't needed because you could have just gotten someone else to carry you.
freeformline2 votesMy thought would be that it lets you play with friends to ensure you are playing with a teammate you actually like or to allow you to try unconventional duo lanes or champion pairs. I think the first part of that will be very important to me if I ever finish my promos, since the three ranked games I have played have been the three most toxic games I have played since I made my account. I would like to play with serious teammates against serious players to improve myself, but I think it would be all but unbearable to play ranked without someone I actually like queueing with me, even if we don't wind up with a duo lane together. Sure, it can be a pain to play against a good pair, but a lot of the self-proclaimed duos I see suck really hard, so I imagine it evens out in the end.
Tyren1 votesPlease correct me if I'm wrong here. I thought the higher ranked person gets less lp for wins and losses more lp when they loss, compared to the other person though? If this is a case it's high risk, low reward.
