o.o since red is still reading this post, I'll give my 2 cents on the duo queue issue.


The problem with duo queue really occurs when two players with different skill level play together, that is the rating (or true rating) differs. But how different they may be, we can always get to an "close enough" estimation of the duo rating with a few games (or few hundreds) if they play a lot together.

So the obvious approach would be have a different rating for each pair that plays ranked, but this is neither feasible nor efficient.
My suggestion is that we add a duo queue rating system. The system work something like this: 1. Rating that adjusts when you play with someone who has a significantly higher rating ( say ~1400 play with 1600+). 2. Rating that adjusts when you play with someone who is about at your level (~1400 play with ~1300 or ~1500). 3. Rating that adjusts when you play with someone who is significantly below your level (~1400 play with 1200-).

The three different rating can be used to match up when people goes duo queue. For example, solo queue rating of 1400 with 1600 may be playing against a 1600 team since the the 1400 actually belongs to the 1600 group but stucked in elo hell or doesn't have time to play. Another group of 1400 and 1600 solo rating may be playing against a 1400 team since the 1600 was carried by someone else to 1600 rating.

Anyways just some of my thoughts. Pretty sure you guys can deliver something better =D

I would like to see players on a team have similar elos, instead of having people at vastly different ratings in solo queue placed on the same team.

@Lyte - I don't know if this site has any specific emailing function built in or were we supposed to email you normally(Hotmail, gmail, yahoo, etc.), so I sent you one via hotmail.


Will we get a reply to confirm whether it reached you? My email had two screenshots. One with a leaver who refused to listen to a team, and another who threatens to go AFK during champion select. Both far too common, and making getting back up to my original ELO much harder.

Also...

Has there been any ideas floating around among Riot Staff about how to deal with trolls in champion select? Like an alternative to dodging that won't damage the game in anyway, yet still allow players to avoid a 20-50 minute troll game? Like how about a Loss Forgiven to all players in a specific game if the troll/leaver they reported was deemed a troll/leaver by the judges and was Punished for it?(and all the resulting ELO loss be dumped onto him). They still wasted 20-50 minutes in a clearly unbalanced game, but atleast their loss wouldn't feel AS bad.

Unlike my previous suggestion, there will be no incentive for the 4 losing players to rage/force a single feeder to quit if they are merely doing badly, BUT if that one player was truly a troll or ragequitted, the remaining players can just try their hardest, and report after the game. And they can be relieved of their loss if you guys deem they truly are trolls/leavers.

Are you interested in games where the enemy team had no chance of winning? I didnt take a screen because i wasnt sure, but i was just in a game (1400) where we won every lane and demolished them.

Remove duo queue.

Make a true solo queue for ranked and normals

Give premades separate queues.

Honestly, there should be a way for Elo to be calculated by how YOU do as an individual. Wins/loses 3/4ths of the time mean nothing. Elo is all about luck in having a good team right now, nothing else. It's luck of the draw, there honestly is -no- reason for there to be a ranked for the way ELO is calculated. Honestly if I want to be matched by wins/loses that should be the way normals are. Also, there's more trolls, leavers, and afkers in ranked then there ever will be in normal which really needs to be addressed before anything else imo. That's half of the reason why people lose games.
