Lyte- first off that you for all the hard work you and your team has done to make ranked a more competetive scene.

What is your opinion on removing the option to duo in ranked solo que? I really think it provides an unfair advantage and its removal would help players reach their "true" elo.

(I know this only got 3 percent in the poll but I think it is a HUGE issue)

Can people STOP asking for the initial ELO to be changed? There is no difference mathematically:

1) If you start a new system from scratch with a higher initial ELO, that ELO becomes the new average automatically. If everyone started at 2200, then people like Scarra, Dyrus, Crumbzz would just be at ~3500 ELO instead of the ~2500 ELO they are currently at.

2) If you just shove new players in at say 1800 Elo, you are simply introducing more Elo into the system (because this 600 above the starting point/average), so the average would just shift up over time. It doesn't matter if you have 8000 Elo, if the average is 7900; that's just like having 1300 now.

It makes NO difference.

Lyte, while you are here. Just want to point out something in matchmaking. My last match, I played Leona(2/7/9), with Jax, Riv, Ez, and Renek. Our Jax had 1000+ wins, I was next with 241, no one else had over 200. No one on the enemy team had less than 525 wins. Now, I understand that the numbers average out, but one ZOMGWTFawesome player can't reasonably carry 4 moderately experienced players against 5 people with at least triple their experience in any one-to-one comparison. Thanks for your time

edit: could matchmaking be tweaked where one player can't skew the numbers like this?

If a player is afk to pick their champion, they shouldn't be randomed one. They should be forced to leave the que and take a penalty.
