Ranked is bad
I'm genuinely done with ranked... the game is not fun to play anymore the grind is impossible and solo queuing is hell. You guys found a way to ruin this game... I'm out. When I come back home from w...
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.
