Give Solo Q's More Opportunities for RP

Hello,

As someone who's not a pro and doesn't have any pros to play with or even friends that are good at the game for that matter, I believe there should be some buffs/ extra opportunities for Solo Q players to get positive RP in ranked games. 

For example, you could have boosts for x amount of damage, or x amount of kills, and make it tiered so if you get 1k, you get +15, 2k +50, etc. and the same structure for kills. Or maybe for a support character how many revives or support bins you open. 

The least you could do is make the entree fee significantly less than those with 3 stack teams. 

I usually get to diamond most seasons and I play barely 5-6 hours a week, just by solo q'ing. I think some of these changes can help give players like myself a better chance to get to masters and compete with those 3 stack pro teams for RP. 

Also, maybe this is just me but I don't need to play Kings Canyon or Olympus on ranked, give me storm point e district and broken moon on repeat. 

Thanks and appreciate the hard work - the recent changes last couple seasons have been fun overall!

  • I agree with the sense of unfairness felt by solo players. The forced team composition with duos is especially painful, and it becomes the worst-case scenario when there is a rank difference within that duo.

    However, the solution should come through matchmaking, not through manipulating Ranked Points (RP). Manipulating RP compromises the integrity of the rank, which should reflect a player's true skill.

    The actual fix should address the structural issues in matchmaking by either completely separating solo players from parties or by strictly restricting the rank difference allowed in duos.
