Need help finding statistics for new ranked system

Lazaeus·Nov 6, 2015·1 votes·472 views

So recently riot released some preliminary info on a new Ranked Team Builder esque design. They made some pretty drastic changes to the system, one of the most controversial I've seen so far is that you can que up with up to 5 people now. Ergo, there's no longer a "solo" que.

Alot of people are griping about the possibility of solo's getting paired against premades and how it would be a massive disadvantage. So, my plan to alleviate this issue is to try to model the likelihood of encountering various premade/solo compositions based on current normal que statistics.

so, what i need and can't quite find: the % of parties in current normal que that consist of 5 people, 4 people, 3, ect. if anybody can find this it would do wonders for me. If I get this info I will post my results here.

Riot quit making premades visible quite some time ago, so the only place this would be available would be in Riot's massive database somewhere.

And it really shouldn't be that big a concern. Riot said themselves that the system will match like groups with like groups. Chances should be almost zero that a group of 5 solo players gets put up against a full 5-man premade. You'll probably get some mixes of 2 and 3 man premades playing against each other. And 4-man premades will probably get placed mostly against other 4-mans, or maybe 5-mans or a 3/2 combo.

that's the thing, i want to actually calculate the % of games where a 5 man doesn't get paired with a 5 man... and other games. basically i want to shut up all the people yelling "BUT THEY'RE GONNA PAIR ME AGAINST PREMADES EVERY GAME" by using legit stats... i also like complex stat problems. i think it's fun.

I do love stats, too. But unfortunately, the info you'd be looking for has been hidden by Riot (those sites where you could look up who all is in your current game used to also show who was a premade group, but Riot decided they didn't want that info available). And I'd also guess the new matchmaking for ranked will probably be a bit more strict about it than the current matchmaking for normal games. Contrary to what these people think, Riot isn't actively trying to ruin their days by giving them mismatched games :P
