Re: Make a whole rank split about solo q for everybody

I just heard they are thinking about doing a solo q season. And I just realized by doing this it would solve 99.5% of the rank smurfing problem... 

Think about it, most rank smurfers are doing it to help friends grind and I always tought it should be cheating and not allowed.

That means they could not even do it anymore... so there would be no point in them even loging on their smurf account. That means they maybe would play less hours but we would play more and it could bring players back. It would in my opinion totally level the playing field in terms of skills and rank, nobody could be higher because friends helped them, everyone at a higher rank would have to be a good player for his randoms that would be so much fun we would play a lot more and have more fun gunfights at those higher ranks. That also means we could be matched with Pros and Preds 🙂

Heard today even Hal which never seemed to be on the casual side say solo q is really bad and he understands how there are many solo players and it is not fun and horrible being with randoms against full stacks.

    @Palette24caratsWhat would please those playing with friends too: You have 2 game modes for Ranked you can either play the : Solo queue mode where every player is solo q in a trio OR Stacked teams where every team is either a premade duo with a random or premade trio.

    That would be great honestly. Now solo q players could grind to their real rank and enjoy the game.

    The downside would be that having those 2 modes rank smurfs would still be active to help friends grind. Only solo queue would annihilate the rank smurfs.

    So the best would be to try both with and without 2 modes in my opinion.
