@reconzero Haha no I am not. I am just forced to stay since it was ranked and you apparently can be perma banned for leaving too many ranked matches. If this was pubs, I would be gone from the lobby so fast my loot box was spinning =) @Midnight9746 I wish for Solo Q only matches in ranked, at least over a certain rank like starting in platinum. League of legends have this for their ranked, i.e when you reach "high elo" you can not queue up with a friend any more. In a solo Q only lobby, team work would perhaps be "worse" overall for all teams but it would be fair. Your positioning in fights, your actions in the game etc will determine how your teammates play around you, and not like it is now with premade duo + 1 solo Q teams where the premade duo will literally ignore you just to help each other.. Harsh but fair and you would also know for certain that the enemy teams also were made up of solo Qs.

@reconzero Haha yes I am fairly sure that you would do generally better over a longer series of matches if you just pick Crypto, lands far away by your self and then just sneak to the middle of the circle, find a nice bush or rat hole and just brings out your drone and hides it far up and unreachable for enemies. And when its a couple of squads left, like 4-5, then go for some cheezy sniper kill steals to get those extra RP gains 😉

Just got out of a game with a premade duo. I knocked two in the first fight and got knocked myself. The first premade lost his 1v1 against the last enemy who just knocked me. The second premade duo killed him as he was doing an execute on me. Then he looted the enemy right in front of me. Then he must have pressed close to me because he started the revive but cancelled it straight away, ran to his friend like 30 m away from us, revived him and looted all boxes before reviving me. Sigh. Solo Q life =)

@BalladalidilaYou're a better man than I am. I would have instaquit as soon as he stopped my revive to get the other player farther away.@Midnight9746 Blocking these kinds of players just gets you DIFFERENT bad players, it doesn't get you away from bad players altogether. They are legion.

@OnclePicsmurf Yupp. Its also usually the worst player in the team who generally feel the need to speak most in coms, like trying to micro-manage and shotcall every little detail of the teams movement and strategy. Nothing worse when you have this Lifeline main or whatever screaming stuff like "Go here", "back off", "push" in the middle of a close range 3v3 and later "res me res me res" while spamming enemy here all over the screen even as you 1v1 that enemy on shotgun range and you later realize that guy had literally 0 damage dealt.Ive said it before but I think the premade toxicity towards the solo Q is 99% psychology, ESPECIALLY when one of them obviously was the weak link in the team. By raging and flaming the solo Q, they can keep up the good vibes between them instead of facing the truth, i.e that usually one, but sometimes both of them suck

Premade duo logic

Runs ahead of you in a random direction. You do your best to follow.
An enemy squad spots them and follows them and intersect you as you try to follow your premade squad.

1) The enemy team that goes to 3rd party them doesn't spot you and you choose to do nothing but just keep pinging enemy here. They get 3rd partied and dies and start raging at you "WHERE ARE YOU? PLAY WITH THE TEAM YOU *insert curse word that would end you up in court for hate speech IRL"

2) You start fighting the enemy team that tried to 3rd party them because they spots you. Either you die, have to run away or your premade duo teammates die and start raging at you "WHY DO YOU FIGHT ANOTHER TEAM???
