How adding SOLO Q will ruin higher elo

Explain your opposition if you have one please.

  1. Q times: at every elo the bottleneck for Q times is how many supports are available at any given time in the queue. So plat+ is 50k players, split evenly is %20 per role and 10k people. Balance for support being least role, let's say 10% for support leaves 5k players. Aka 5k games can be played at any given time if every support in plat+ is online. Split it between another Queue = increase time.

  2. Rank won't matter: so we have Solo Q now but the top community is split, let's say in half, 25k solo and 25k DQ. This leaves upper Elos open to lower elo players since there is a portion of the ladder, plat5-p1, empty that must be filled. IMO master would be the only rank that means something since golds would flow into plat and plat into diamond.

  3. To be continued.

It's one of those times where you're making very valid points, and with a relatively safe assumption of an even split and viability.

But get downvoted for using actual logic on the G5&B boards.
