Duos this is why we hate you.

You bring your boosted partner into a level where they obviously don't belong and they drag the entire team down.

Mid lane Annie duo with Lee sin. Lee sin was pretty decent but I don't know what Annie was on. https://imgur.com/a/x7BdLSg

One of the easiest champ to play by just pressing R and only dealt 11k damage in a 41 minute game. Meanwhile I'm playing a 2v1 game toplane while Annie stays useless throughout all phases of the game. In the end their fiora scaled and wasn't a liability and still did more damage than her despite being a 1v1 champ.

Give us a true solo que rank and move duos into flex. There is no such thing as a balanced duo, either you get an oppressive pair stomping or you get a special type of slow person.

I only play rankeds as duo botlane, I tried to play with random supps but a Ezreal supp with Aerys that said on my promo game at min 15 "it's ok, we can ff" and it made me realize that it's not worth.

Through bronze, silver, and gold I rarely see a troll pick like that. Maybe 1 in 40-50 games.

I also stopped playing solo as support main. At least my fellow adc knows when my poke is an all-in invitation and when it's not.

That's the thing about a duo lane, when you are not with a premade you take the risk of totally be invalidated because you have a really bad player in your lane.

41 minute game and only did 11k damage? that's near 4k damage every 10 minutes. Was she legitimately trolling or something?

Honestly I have no clue. Her duo was trying hard too. I don't know how it's possible to do so little damage playing Annie.

Well this would be fixed if soloq was SOLOq. We have flex for duos so why do we need solo to be bastardized by duos? For once playing as duo gives you a better chance so it shouldn't be able to be done in the most " competitive queue".

This isn't a boosting problem, that's a matchmaking problem. It'd be a boosting problem if Annie tried playing without Lee Sin. Since they were playing together, that means Riot way over estimated Annie's skill level.

I suspect if you check Annie's account you'll see this was one of their first Ranked games ever. That would go a long way to explaining the discrepancy in skill and matchmaking.
