Is is possible to play trios as a solo player anymore?

I used to play trios all the time as a solo player but now I can only play duos. Its the same routine as always where teammates just do there own thing but they seem less likely to do this when playing duos although it still happens obviously.

I keep trying a few games at trios but nobody plays as a team in trios anymore or at least not when I'm playing. And 95% of players always quit when downed. It used to be a lot better than this. 

Anyone else having succession with randoms in trios? Or does it seem worse for others as well as me these days?

    Same. I just started doing some solo queue for the first time since S11 or so, and went straight to duos. I've done maybe 3 hours or so solo q in the last week. One subpar team mate in duos hurts my chances a lot less than two does in trios, and so far the percentage of leavers is a lot smaller. Win rate hasn't been great solo q, but my stats improve nevertheless.

    @pandareno1999 I still find myself playing alone a lot of the time because my teammate quit as soon as they got downed but I have a better chance of beating a team of 2 instead of 3. I hate playing alone though. Duos has been my main game mode for quite sometime now. I really miss trios though. Wish it was like it used to be
  • @Marge010 I tried duos last weekend. It was worse because good players don't leave each other's side.
  • @hayhor There is that, but at my somewhat lower MM ranking, not every single team is a premade holding hands. So, I can maintain my daily goals, even though the win rate has not been very good because we do eventually run into one of those teams.

    Trios, sure,  but I quit a lot.  I don't have patience and have played enough to be pretty certain when it is a waste of time to wait...which is most of the time.

    I play about 2 game of every 8 or so that are worth it.  Not quite 1 in for because I can often quit 5 games to play 1 meh game and 2 fun games.

    But no, I can't be bothered with any F's to do this in ranked, which is why I gave up that pile of dung.

  • @Marge010 people quitting when they get downed have always been an issue for me since Season 1. That's why I just play rank now even if it's sweaty as balls atleast people there can't quit without getting punished and people tend to play more as a team there the higher you climb.
  • @Daze623 Played a few solo pubs this evening, both on sp and olympus. Had a few dc on down, but in general it wasn't too bad. Had a nice win on sp too.
