Why is duo queue abuse allowed in game still?

Why is cheating via duo queuing still allowed in ranked games ?

Does Riot not understand the advantage queuing as top + jungle or support + adc or mid + jungle bring ?

Why is this BLATANT cheating still allowed in game?

Hopefully this is something Riot can look at for season 10.

Oh okay, I almost thought being coordinated through voice comms with another player to gain an unfair advantage over other players is cheating...

Guess not :\

Nope.

It used to be back when voice comms weren't used much for MOBAs.

Nowadays Riot has actually added their own in-game voice comms for pre-made parties.

So you mean to tell me that premade parties have an in-built voice coms instead of having to go outside to get one?

And that's somehow not cheating still?

Yeah. They even put it in the 8.6 Patch Notes.

Voice Chat Voice chat only works for parties that queue together. Your party connects to voice chat automatically right from the lobby. Every player can adjust their team's volume in-game by clicking the mic icon at the bottom of their screen.

How tf would that be cheating in any way? That makes no fucking sense It's not unfair because you can easily invite your whole team to voice comms if you really don't want to play against an UnFaIr AdVaNtAgE

To test how this is cheating Riot should put a team without voice coms vs team with voice coms in the world finals :)

You do realize that pro play and our normal ranked are on COMPLETELY different levels

But hey, whatever ''proves'' your point i guess

But you can still get your whole team in voice comms if you really want to So you know

I don't think it is cheating. However it is very frustrating as a soloQ player to play against that.

and also, it is a huge part of the problem in 'my team is gold and my opponent are plat', because you always are matched with higher elo players if you duoq.

The bigger issue is you have a low winrate silver in a plat game.

maybe at the highest levels it is a big advantage, but for everything else I think you are overestimating the impact. You can achieve the same things with pings and chat, it just depends on if you have good teammates or not.

i dont think you know what cheating means.

Cheating - act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage, especially in a game or examination.

being that

  1. you're able yo duo if you wish
  2. youre given higher MMR teammates in exchange for them being a duo

neither party has gotten a dishonest advantage. escpecially because when you queued up for what is literally called "RANKED SOLO/DUO" you knew there would be a chance that someone on the enemy team may have a +1. therefore because it was plainly laid out for you, its not malicious or dishonest.

It's not cheating. And if you can't get past it then you don't deserve to move ahead in rank, honestly. It isn't abuse or anything. It is simply using an advantage (which isn't entirely an advantage) to win the game. Using a feature to gain elo. Same thing as we do with the meta. We use the champions that are good to gain elo. Is that cheating now too? No. It is simply you either not being able to watch your map, and win, or not caring enough about your elo to bring a friend in with you, but caring enough to complain about a non-issue on the forums.

I don't have anything against duo queue... The only thing that annoys me is when a jungler is duo queue with a solo lane and he just camps that lane forgetting there are two other lanes and objectives like dragon/baron/towers. It mostly turns out they trade kills and then get behind.

Sadly, people in low elo do not understand that trading a kill is just bad 90% of the time. Meanwhile i see people every game flashing under turret at lvl 3 to get a kill and die...
