Solo players should get more RP

I think solo players should get more RP when they are play with premade duos and one of them is lower rank.

Solo players does not have option to exclude premade duos when search game and its unfair to get some low skill teammate just because they are want to play together.

If the team is all random (no premade) and they are kill some premade team they also should get more RP.

    @Apyhs hey, replace the "many" in Asmodeus566's post with "pros" and you get it right.

    @Apyhs 

    No need to put yourself out there and attack me for an opinion I have or for disagreeing with someone else's opinion. 

    I do not think that giving solo Q-ers an RP perk for solo Q-ing is beneficial to the game. 

    Also the quote in my signature block is from Star Trek, Spock to be specific.

    Please do not insinuate that I am a pro or cater to pro's or for that matter any particular group or type of player be it casuals, solo Q-ers or rookie players. 

    I would like to see better game balance for all.

    @Asmodeus566 I agree if you say a RP bonus wouldn,t help.

    But just to disagree instead participate in a discussion is as hostile as answering in cynical way.

    We both wear the same shoes.

    @Apyhs 

    Thanks for the reply.

    I was not being cynical.

    I really do not think that is a good idea that the OP presented.

    It would actually foster Solo Q play over team play.

    When I solo Q I really do love it when I get a matched duo in my sqd. 

    I as it should be try to play to their style of play, as much as I possibly can, so as to not hamper them and to also to work as a team with them. There should be no added benefit or reward other than that.

    I will take a pair of duo Randoms over two separate Randoms any day if I had the Choice. I also like to pair up with a buddy and play ranked and pick up a third when our standard 3rd is not able to play. Why should the random on our team get any bonus RP for just being there. I will try to work with said random and so will my buddy, that is unless they are named hot drop harry and have the Rambo syndrome that they can 1v56 and think they will get a win out of it, at that point that type of player is on their own and absolutely does not deserve any type of bonus for Solo Q-ing. 

    I am sure I do not wear the same shoes as you 😉 but I know what you mean and I respect that. 

    Again thanks for the reply.

    Happy hunting, may your Randoms work as a team with you, wishing you low ping, high FPS, great connectivity, many kills and wins along the way.

    @Asmodeus566 Good points. I often find Duos not communicating with the random guy as they are often use TS or DC.

    Maybe Respawn should try to separate pre-made fullsquads, duos and "(fullsquad)solos" just for

    Fullsquad (3 premade)
    Duo(2 premade)
    Fullsquad(3 solos)

    Just to see the impact and matchmaking queue time.

    But in general, like it is currently.....Facing a Premade squad of three Plats as a solo player randomly teamed up with a lvl 50 and a lvl 37 is just a waste of time. This should be fixed before anything else is touched.

    I know, lvl dosnt mean much in general. But often enough I see these player act completely helpless und unaware of any dangerous situations.

    @Asmodeus566 as far as I understand you are very rarely playing solo Q, thus you have wrong view of this issue. I started playing this season solo Q from Bronze to Plat and I saw a lot weird duos players and very very rarely good duos.
    I will be glad if solo Q players will have an option to exclude duos players from search and then we do not need bonus RP.
    But I'm sure that Respawn never add this option just because then duos players will wait the game forever.
    That is why I suggest give some bonus to solo Q players if they are get duos and one of them is lower rank.

    @id_waki 

    You have got that wrong about how often I play solo Q. Just so you know I play about 50-60% of my matches Solo Q. Some seasons more some less, depends on how often my buddies and I can get together.  Thus I think I have a pretty darn good understanding of what it is like to be a solo Q player and how difficult it can be at times. Been playing since day one. 

    There are generally two types of solo Q players:

    1. is the player that plays for themselves and their Randoms can get with their program or not they do not care, all they want to do is frag.

    2. is the player that genuinely wants to play as a team with their Randoms and play to win. 

    Yes their are variations and degrees in between but that is what I think about this. 

    Bonus RP for Solo Q-ers is not needed and would not be healthy for the game period and that is my bottom line on that.
