"ranked should be about my skill and my skill alone"

when did Riot patch in the 1v1 ranked mode?

It's ignorant to pretend that ranked will ever or has ever been even a little bit about your own individual skill. It's almost entirely based on your ability to play nice with 4 other people. Now those 4 people might just be premade. Anyone else just excited that with a 4man as your other 4 teammates you're really unlikely to get a DC or afk?

I don't blame DQ for my rank, and neither should they. I suck, hence I am bronze V. I am trying to change that though, but it is on me. I am the only common denominator with all my losses.

That is how the game was during season 2-4 and the game was better than it ever was at the time. Now it's almost garbage.

thats not the problem w/ dynamicQ

the problem is when u have 3 solos 1 duo on ur team and u run into a 3man and a possible duo, or if youre solo paired with 4man and u go up against 5man

it skews the fuck out of the top of the challenger ladder b/c even highly skilled solos can't climb past the dynamic queue abusers who just always play as 5man to get to the top of challenger
