Suggestion to sort of balance out solo que

Issyl··1 votes·516 views

Reach level 5 on 5 champions of each role before you're eligible for ranked. Outrageous? There shouldn't be:

"Can't support" "Can't adc" "I only play one champ"

Resolving trolls and toxics?

Give them a special place in hell. Que them all together not with the good innocent people. All the AFKs, all the intentional feeders, etc. It's the perfect chaos right there.

What the hell is low priority que? If you can do that why not what I stated above? Let the trundles go 5v5 and the good people have a fair match!

Didn't even need a wall of text.

good innocent people? Innocent IS if you dont know how to play a certain role and aren't familiar -

If you are q'd to play ranked you should know basics of every role. We all get last pick and last pick has no choice but to fill.

When they say cant support (or other roles) they dont mean they physically cant its just a hated role to them -

Oh you would be surprised...there are people who play ranked an only know one role or a few champs. I'm in bronze I see this shit every day.

I am in silver - bronze, my least favourite role is adc.. i will still play safe and not make plays though - mechanics over role for me

No. Just give me a solid MMR system. I'll wait 10 minutes before I play a ranked game to be matched with legitimate players of the same skill set as mine.

I'd much rather waste 10 minutes waiting to get into a game than 20 - 30 - 40 mintues with the reject that plays ranked because "It's fun"

It does wait longer if it can't find players near your MMR. People up in plat+ do wait 10+ minutes because the population is much smaller.

Other than very, very new Ranked players (which you will run into occasionally in high bronze/low silver -- and they have to be matched with someone), the players in your matches are doing about as well as you are over time.

However, this is a bit different from having exactly the "same skill set" as you. You might end up with a team of five players who are all ADC mains. Or one player who has good mechanics but terrible strategy, and another who has a clue about what's going on but can't land a skillshot to save their life. Or another who always plays one champ with one build no matter the situation.

There's not much way around those things in a random queue unless Riot starts making value judgements about playstyles and in-game stats (which would, IMO, be a really really terrible idea). If you don't like the vagaries of random queueing, play Ranked 5s. Getting a duo partner at least cuts it down a bit.

25 champs at rank 5 would be a bit much. Riot has said they don't really want high barriers of entry to Ranked. Players who are not up to par are already handled; they drop to the bottom of B5 and then only match up with other very-low-skill players.

The idea of making you have champions of a few different types is sort of interesting. Although just owning the champs, or even having played them a few times, doesn't guarantee that someone will be any good at them (or ever willingly play them in Ranked).

If you can do that why not what I stated above? Let the trundles go 5v5 and the good people have a fair match!

Riot has discussed "Prisoner's Island" approaches many times. It is their opinion that it does not work very well for ambiguous things like "trolling". Other than a few rare behaviors that almost everyone agrees on (like intentional feeding), it is very difficult to define "trolling". Also, if you take marginal players (like ones who are negative towards their teammates but don't actually throw games) and put them in with the really bad ones, their behavior tends to get worse rather than better, making the overall situation worse. If you rely on, say, not getting reported in order to get off the "island", that will rarely happen -- the games will be horrible and everyone will get reported all the time.

They did compromise a bit with the ranked restriction system. Players who get reported a lot can be banned from ranked until they win a certain number of normal draft games, with chat restrictions imposed. In theory it forces them to actually improve their behavior and show they can work with their team and not be a jerk before they're allowed to play Ranked again.

They have considered a "Leaver's Island" for players who frequently disconnect/AFK/crash/etc. But apparently they're sticking with low priority queue for now.
