PSA: Ranked Is Not For Solo Queuers.

NOT TROLLING - just looking for a little clarity on some points that interested me and piqued my curiosity.

First, I would also have said, and have said in the past, that I think the vast majority of players in the game (in any mode) are solo queueing. But, is there any hard data from the dev to substantiate the claim?

And also, do we know for a fact that solo queue grinders tend to hit their rank wall at a lower point than players who stack? I would assume that was the case, but I don't KNOW that it's the case. If it is the case and if the developer puts their thumb on the scale to try and change that... is that necessarily a good thing? Or a fair thing? I can think of some analogies but they're possibly flawed and almost certainly inflammatory. And I'm NOT trying to frustrate anyone. I'm just trying to get a better picture of how this all works. At any rate I definitely would call it a pragmatic thing, assuming that solo queuers outnumber stacks by a huge margin. And I'm pretty sure that they do.
