Ranked party queue please!

I play with a group of 3-4 friends several nights a week. We all love ranked but wish we could queue like we can for normals. Why can't riot allow parties of similar mmr against each other? We are all silver and bronze. A longer queue time to find other players would be well worth it. I want to only play ranked games but am limited to 2 or 5 people with current queues. Implement something so any group can play ranked...just even out the mmr of the team or restrict parties to be within a full division tier (silver gold etc).

First off, it's called Solo/Duo because you max your invites at two people. Second, Team Ranked. It's there for a reason.

Nah, just play normals/draft pick normals if you have more than 2, less than 5.

Almost feel like even allowing duo is bending the point of ranked a bit. Ranked is about your skill, not how much you can carry your friends/how much they can carry you. That guy that belongs in silver 5 should not get gold 1 because he has 3 friends willing to continually carry him through games. And just cause you all start around the same mmr, doesn't mean you all belong where you are, if one is lagging behind in skill, but only plays with 3-4 friends who are much better, he's going to continue to have the same mmr cause they will all either win despite him/her, or lose because of them, with them all having mmr adjusted as a group, not by their own skill level.

If you can find a 5th, and make a team, then the team's mmr would be calculated based on how you all work as a whole team, so there it's ok. But having solo queue mmr changed because of the skill of a friend/friends isn't right.

Yes.

Or just align party sizes. Have a group of 3 and 2 pugs? Pit them against another team of the same
