Howto: A Guide to abusing Dynamic Queue to the next division (Why Dynamic needs to go)
Notes: this was not nearly as doable with normal Duo Queue, and is recommended to do only with people you know/trust. Also just giving this information as to why Dynamic Queue is a mistake, not advocating the use of this.
Requirements: Carry Yourself: 1 friend at the lowest divison possible to play with you (so say you are gold 2, the friend needs to be Silver5), and a buddy who mains a different role that synergizes with yours at the same skill level. - Better when in a high tier in your division (1-3) -OR- Get Carried: 4 friends at the highest possible to play with you (if you are silver 4, get 4 gold 1-2's) - better when low tier in your division (3-5)
Steps (For Carrying yourself)
- Create the lobby with you, your normal friend at the same skill as you, and the lower ranked player.
- Put you and your friends roles as your primary and secondary (So if you main mid and he mains jungle, you put yours as mid/jungle and his as Jungle/mid) and have the last guy support/fill (will most likely get support unless it is one of your guys' roles then put him top/fill) - 100% chance of getting your desired roles
- You and your friend pick snowballing champions that you are comfortable and know you can win on. Have the lower skilled player pick a very safe champion that is useful when behind.
are good supports for this.
The MMR for this game will be tanked by your lower mmr player, giving you an artificial advantage to win your lanes and snowball. While your friend plays safe and doesn't give the same advantage to the enemy team. Your mmr won't increase much from this, so isnt the best for general climbing. But it does make it easier to win your promos to get into the next division.
Steps (For Getting Carried)
- Create the lobby with you and the 4 players that are higher than you that were willing to carry you.
- Pick roles, making sure you are not in a position required to carry and can generally just play safe and they are all in their best situation.
- Pick a champ you are comfortable on and can avoid throwing.
- Make sure that you don't throw. The mmr difference is going to be huge for you, but the guys you are with should overall have an easier game than normal and be able to get a lead and with your help close it out in a win.
The mmr in this game will be much higher for you, so will actually help with general climbing as well as being able to get carried through your promos.
I do not advocate use of these, just pointing out that they are possible. In my Provisionals I saw first hand the huge effect this can have (duo'd with a gold and a bronze and saw a huge mmr change in the games). It is a way to inflate lp and mmr and pick up undeserved wins in most cases, your skill level does not change though so when you have to carry yourself you can get wrecked and screw over other people. It is an artificial inflation and does have its limits. But the fact that this is not just easier than before with duo queue...but that it is possible to get boosted consistently because of it without technically breaking ToS is ridiculous. Also it creates an even larger problem with Smurfs (4 Diamond smurfs in silver can easily carry people out of bronze over and over again).
Can we just go back to normal solo/duo queue? =\
