Punish the Solo player

Teslyn··2 votes·357 views

New ranking system of allowing 4 people to que up together will punish people who just want to be alone.

I have actually found better success in Solo Q than doing normal games because in the normal i have to deal with 2-4 people trying to coordinate a failed attempt at something and i feel like i am just not contributing to the team for the most part. or i can not give enough to carry them because they coordinate to failure in other locations.

Solo Que will basically turn into Crit chance for the most part. Based on luck to get the better 'Team'

I am a big advocate to remove any kind of grouping in Solo Q .. and make it just that.

I can shrug off people being idiots in normal Que and i always tell myself their is Ranked so i dont have to be in a group with 4 people all verbally trashing me when i take a CS if i am a support.

Who does this new system help this system is better for the higher elo people who know each other. Basically turning matches into a team que anyway. This system helps boosters This system helps the pros

Who does this system hurt: this system is not healthy for the lower to mid community. The bulk of your player base

if you take out the lower tier players and make them believe that this is basically over they will find other games. Season 6... No matter how good you make it will be the death of this game in NA.

i understand that is a minority in the eyes of RIOT in a global scale.

There are other games... Ask Blizzard how WoW is doing.. I know they made $759 Mil last year, but they use to be pulling in money in the billions. from 12 mil in the best time to 7 mil people now..

they have more to offer than PVP. and that is the only thing holding them on. People who like cute little pets. I have to admit they are cute.

------Keep Team Q's out of Solo Q's

Your 100% right. Not sure where this idea came from, but it is a bad idea.

Be interesting to see how that works at high elo. And also if you have a few friends carry 1 lower skilled player a division higher than they can play at. When they then try and play by themselves will life just be miserable?

It would really cool to have both, a system where you could play ranked with any number of players up to 5 and then a separate solo ladder. However, I am sure this is very unpractical and there is no way riot would do that so really solo/duo is the best way to combine both.

In the end their data will show that the 5-man and the 3-man will have the most success rate.

Pro players have boosted in the past and it continues today.

XiaoWeiXiao - made $1400 from boosting one person. You can see that Rush was Duo Q with him for the majority of the games. Rush changed his name on his account to play with him. XWX got caught because he was arrogant and pissed off the person paying him so the person told.

here are some NA players who had that past

Brandon “Dontmashme” Phan
Zaqueri “Aphromoo” Black
Samuel “Chuuper” Chu
William “Meteos” Hartman
ChengLong “NyJacky” Wang
Keith “Phranq” Hunter
Kennen “Rhux” Santos
Jake “Xmithie” Puchero

and EU players are not immune to the work

Viktor “Cowtard” Stymne
Jon “Jimbz“ Mangas Cayetano
Dan “NeeGodBro” Van Vo
Rim-Ramon “Nono” Amanieu
Jérémy “ViRtU4l “ Petit
Bora “YellOwStaR” Kim

Riot made this a punishable offense when you play their game because people are receiving a status they did not earn thru skill.

the money is their .. and Duo'ing in a Solo Q environment just makes it easier.

i just dont want to face this anymore.

I have had games where i was a mid laner and the enemy was coordinated with a mid and jungle Duo i was camped for fifteen minutes. Team fight comes around and i was worthless.

Story time: i am first pick.. i take mid zyra... (i can make it work normally) enemy goes mid Annie and a jungle J4. if i did nothing the other people would get slaughtered. if i showed any aggression i would be punished. Farming under tower is just a pipe dream when that duo hit 6. i know people may say it was my choice to pick zyra... but that was their combo. i tracked their progresses to challenger. It wasnt a pick issue. They stopped thru plat and slaughtered diamonds. it was a duo booster comp because the annie stopped duoing with the J4 at a point. and their elo started dropping. they picked up different main champions to play.

My time i had the chance to play against them was annoying as hell. i would rather SOLO Q be just that SOLO Q

Money will be the driving factor for them to boost. a person will not be able to stop them, but tools should not be given to them to make there job easier.
