Disable Parties in TFT Ranked; Players "Party Bombing" lobbies to cheat the system

(OP deleted because apparently TFT needs its own sub-board..)

Teamfight Tactics uses a system that has been taken advantage of to push players to the top. "Party Bombing"

Party Bombing: Filling the lobby with players intent on losing in order to push the victory of another player by removing opposition. How this is done:

8 Players in a match means 7 opponents. A party of 3 means 5 opponents.

Party Bombers use "pool blocking" to further remove opposition.

Pool Blocking: Champion rolls are taken from a community pool, thus players can purchase champions to directly attack the purchase power of opponents. Purchasing a Gnar when you see it is a good tactic to keep an opponent from receiving the Gnar, for example.

However, Party Bombers abuse "pool blocking" by dedicating 100% of their purchases towards the sabotage of a single player. What this does:

• The saboteur will have a lesser army, having waited to purchase until observing the pattern of their opponent.
• The saboteur will eventually lose having an inferior army, but will have also starved their opponent's army as well.
• The specific opponent becomes behind in purchases, and this player can not win.

In the "party of 3" example, 2 players will attack 2 other players directly, leaving 3 TRUE opponents for the intended winner to face.

Parties need to be disabled. It is painstakingly obvious how choosing a handful of your opponents is easy to abuse.

other issues with parties:

• 8 isn't divisible by 3, with 3 teams max, one team will have to be short 1 player
• The classic ELO bridge where high ELO players can bunk low ELO games
