I mean you only really lose to duo abusers if you're bad in your rank.. And even then, duo abusing isn't really much of a issue and doesnt do much besides forcing u to play safe for 5min.. specially if its the jungle.. just setup wards its not hard.

There is a big problem if you play vs top jg. for example when jungle is an invisible and wards are not helping you. At low ranks is hard and duo players make it even harder. Last game i was urgot vs garen and i ware fine till shaco begin to rekt me several times. No way i can deal with that when my jungle go to gang when im dead and cant even do anything vs garen.

hope you understand my problem when your top and yes your low rank and your not that good but you sstil lcan win your lane and your jg is trash but other jg is premade with your enemy your fked as fk...summoner 4

If its invis, as an Eve, twitch rengar ... use Redwards.. they are an item for a reason. ik I saw ur games. thats ur fault specially if it happens more than once.. you should learn u need to keep back and play safe. It's not hard, its tilting, but not too hard. I get tilted quite easily if im camped, but alternatively i just play farming simulator for 5min and then 1v1 and then kill them. its not that hard. Anybody else contesting it would be hard is just enabling you to think that its the matchmakings fault. When in reality, if people really wanna cheese you, they'll post a discord link in the chat and then it will become solo/duo 5 man premade with voice comms and then you really dont have a fun time.

Any good Eve, Twitch, Rengar knows how to avoid the typical red ward placements. And in Rengar's case he's fast enough and with a high enough jump range it won't matter. Less so for Twitch, but still there.

don't bother dude, most of these people don't even pay attention to challengers and masters getting gimped by duo abuse so the only conclusion is that they themselves are duo abusers and they'll excuse it by saying they want to boost their friends, once more devaluing the ranked ladder even more. like lol there's so many duo boosted people in diamond who can't even carry themselves out of silver, yet somehow duoq must still be ignored. nevermind the fun that's had when matchmaking goofs because of duo's here, duo's there, duo's everywhere (oh wow this mmr math makes no sense anymore, said the poor little elo calculators)

Do not call anybody else low rank when you're 400 games bronze 1.

duo abusing becomes more and more powerful in higher elo where both players know the win conditions and what to abuse.

low elos dont understand this.

hmm how did tarzan get rank 1. duo abuse.

Yeah. Setting up wards when you have only 1 at the start of the game and getting 2v1 when the jg and laner both attack you. I may be gold(used to care about rank, not anymore) but I rarely duo and never with a smurf. I earned my rank, so it's unfair when a S3 and a plat2 end up against me and eventually the S gets carried to gold. TBH, I have won against silver-plat duos but it's tilting and unfair. I used to be G2 90 lp at one point. I thought that with a little hard work I could get plat, but a combo of unrankeds, duos who had 1 member feed and the fact that the ranked rewards are the same made me not give a sh*t. I will hope for season 10. But duo IS bad as many people used it for boosting. They should keep duoing with people only in your elo/division

Pumpedhero1 votes

To answer most of this, simply 1 ward at the start is all you need, if u want more buy reds.. not hard. Im gold 4, I only play ranked for rewards, even tho im not even getting one this season due to my low honor, but as for keeping duos in your division.. this is already in place. Im G4 and I cannot duo with a S4, so unless you're MAYBE 1 rank or 2 away, duoing isn't really possible.

I dont want them to disable duo. let ppl play in team its part of the fun. I just ask for a mode where you play solo so you can see your real skill to team with ppl you play with not only with friends in teamspeak or what ever...

Its that simple just make solo rank and flex thats all.

If you think you will be Plat or something instead of Bronze if you played in a pure SoloQ then you're in for a big surprise.

It's the duos on my team that have been the bane of my existence. That invariably means one of the two is just along for the ride and has no idea WTF is going on and sinks the team (usually while the other in the duo complains about not being able to carry and goes something like 5/9/3).

Duos should have their LP gain cut in half if they win, and loose double when they lose.

Better and simpler would be just disallow duos in the first place. That would do so much for the competitive integrity of the game. After the horribly failed dynamic queue experiment in season 6, Riot is flat out dumb for still allowing duos in what everyone has always called "solo" queue because that's what it's supposed to be.

Yeah duo should be disabled past diamond 4. Supposedly riot punishes duos with inflated MMR, but how are they gonna inflate a challenger duo's MMR?

Salron882 votes

wait why diamond only. are we plat guys in ther just for show? as if we dont have plenty of diamond smurfs in our elo's only couse they duo with some golden boy

you can see that pretty easily nowadays with the clan tags, and if you're so inclined via the blitz app. so yeah :/ there's probably more than the blitz app that does it but that one is known so... what do you say now when people have the raw data?

MasterDClone3 votes

ive never even heard of the blitz app, but if I remember your username i swear I've had this same discussion with you before, my main argument is very simple, flex doesn't mean shit, Solo/duo does, most people that complain about duo abusers don't actually care about the only exploitable thing out of duo queuing (boosting a friend through a smurf or whatnot) they just use it as an excuse for their inability to climb. Duo queuing is not a huge issue with the ranked ladder, for most it's just a way to have fun while playing something as dull as ranked.

it's the same thing in solo/duo. i started playing flex because i got tired of the false presumptions. we aren't playing soloq, we're playing duoboost and duogrief pending what type of duo's matchmaking gives you.

I've always thought duoing should be removed in Diamond+. It's not even just about the competitive advantage (which is itself an issue since the duo penalty is based on the average duo and not what you can really do as a practiced duo with a plan).

It's about not having a super misleading ranked system. Someone who duod a lot of games to a rank, does not demonstrate the same skills as someone who did it solo. It makes no sense to mix them. They emphasize different skills and this makes the ladder somewhat incoherent. Imagine if they did this for tennis and mixed rankings for doubles and singles.

Your tennis doubles analogy really drives the point home imo. A solo player simply doesn't bring as much to the table as a duo. We're only able to improve our personal skills a finite amount, whereas the synergies of a duo compound our contributions to the team. This would probably be most evident in bot lane. Whether you're queuing support or adc, your success relies very heavily on your lane partner. It can make playing either of these roles with randoms extremely frustrating, and I think this must be one of the main reasons we still have solo/duo queue today.

In my experience, the team with the duo typically loses.

Especially jungle top duos. Imagine sacrificing a role to gank exclusively for the least impactful role in the game.

Not gonna lie it's so annoying when laning against a laner with a jungler duo , but this kinda will kill bot lane duo's

Ranked Flex exists. If you want to practice your bot lane duo, queue up there?

to be honest, when was the last time somebody gave a shit about your flex rank?

Yes , but what about adc mains and support mains who play in solo q? Playing adc or support with a random player is Hell.

Some special person on here tried to come at me for complaining about how common the top/jungle duo is in "solo queue," and I'm glad other people are starting to notice this issue.

I'm tired of duos in general. They're usually extremely toxic.

I still don't understand why we can't see who is duo'd on our end, even if it's just teammates. Unless they share a club tag, you can't really find out until after the match. So many games a person gets extremely toxic, and some random teammates starts cosigning everything they say, and you look at the end of the match, and you realize why they were jumping on their bandwagon. They were a duo. I think you should at least have to be on your best behavior if you're part of a duo.

I don't like to mute teammates, but I would mute duos.

It will never happen because Riot want short queues and it works best with solo/duo queue. If you would take away the duos from solo/duo there would be much more unbalanced games and way longer queues.

Salron881 votes

while that would be pretty fun i think the main problem is that the more game types you have the more divided the players so the longer queue's.

Bro you're still in Bronze after 173 games. You're not losing because of duos. You're losing because you're bad at the game. No one in Bronze knows how to play the game at all so playing against duos is moot. I mean how are you losing to duos that don't have a basic idea of how the game works?

Nah bro, stop wasting time looking for something to blame and try to figure out how you can play the game better.
