Very simple: Ranked is now terrible for solo queuing players and very rewarding/more teamplay oriented for premade 3-man squads. I guess its impossible to make it better for both those player types so Respawn chose to focus on premade squads, which I objectively think is a good idea even though I personally liked the solo grind in ranked, especially since I now a days really dont have time to spend several hours every night to play with my premade squads.

Perhaps the idea here is to make normal mode the mode you choose when you are solo and just wanna frag for 1-2 hours without any concern for your teammates and Ranked the mode the mode for players who wanna play this game seriously.

I think you've inadvertently stumbled upon a solution.

This rank system should go to full premades, the prior rank system should be for solo or duo queues.

    Solo queuing in S13 ranked is the worst it has ever been. As a whole, the new ranked system is great for the overall ranked experience and creating a gameplay experience that is different from pubs. The problem for solo queuers is that this ranked system puts a lot more emphasis and importance on teamwork, which gives an obvious advantage to premade squads. In fact, I remember a little while ago one of the devs admitted that solo queuers are at a disadvantage to premade squads. So, if they acknowledge that truth and want to make a more fair system for all players, they should add some sort of grace points for those players. My suggestion would be to decrease the entry cost for solo queue by 10 points, and the entry cost for duo queue by 5 points.

      I solo que ranked myself, and this season sucks balls.  I'm currently silver 1 and I get matched up with bronze 3 and 4 teammates, and they are bad...real bad.  Last season was definitely easier.  I started playing 3 weeks before season 12 ended, and I was able to climb G2 during the last 2 weeks solo que'ing.
