Forced Solo Queue Ranked Feedback

I don't say that potential upcoming change of Diamond+ soloq is a good idea, on contrary.

Yet I can't agree to many of the points you stated:

1. people for some reason discriminate Preds/Masters. Yes most of them cheat, abuse the system, get boosted by cheaters etc. BUT is the fact they are 3stacking the main issue? I would say not really.
IF Respawn would address the main culprit(s):
a) cheating / system abuse -> skill level of Master/Pred players would drop significantly and gap between them and even D4 would imo become more manageable vs now where you basically lose 95% of the fights vs such teams.
b) matchmaking -> even without changing anything and reverting this "new" system that started to feed low Diamond / high Plat players into Master/Pred lobbies would pin those cheaters vs eachother. Yes that would mean for most Pred would be out of question and even after reaching Master low level games would become basically unplayable. Also Preds / pros clearly didn't like that. But at the same time lobbies for D4-Master would be "fair"

2. Apply increased RP entry costs or RP penalties to premade squads to compensate for communication advantages. - from my experience in Valorant where such system is present I can tell that it would make 0 difference for people who don't have 3stack. People would still team up because of a social factor AND because being in a full stack provides much higher boost to overall success vs duo / solo queue. Even massive penalty would probably not force someone currently 3stacking to tell his/her teammates that hey I am going to soloq for more gains.

Basically Respawn is just patching issue(s) they can't / will not intentionally fix = cheating, matchmaking, community containing too many casuals.

Glad they went as far as not pushing the update as of yesterday (besides brief moment of f-up :D) not to make things miserable.
