STOP LETTING SOLOS QUEUE AGAINST 5 STACKS

[pearl gale]

stop matchmaking duo or solos against 5 stacks it is isnanely unfair

That's life

if they split the player base that means longer queue times

Waste 2 or 3 minutes in extra queue time, or waste 6+ minutes in the match getting battered by a complete mismatch against a 5 stack? I'd rather choose the longer queue and play around in free play for a bit longer.

At least have a checkbox so people can choose whether they want to allow playing against 5-stacks, and how wide they want the range of player skill to be etc. I'd voluntarily choose a longer queue over getting put into mismatched games and/or having bronze players on my team.

There was multiple topic regards it, **DEVS **and FULL STACKED ONLY players refused to listen and will ANTAGONIZE your complain.
Also DEVS has ZERO interests on it.
Solution, be VERY patient, boycott or quit the game.

Bro that’s just a waste of time the queue times are already long as is especially how the game is paid and it has no crossplay ; there is no need for this extra queue. Just do an lfg that’s what I do and if u get a good group of ppl u can rank up easy ( depending on skill Ofc). I understand the complaints but it isn’t necessary

i primarily solo queue and i don’t think they should be separate.
what if 3 friends want to queue 5v5? so they’re forced to go find two people to queue a premade?
this has happened in so many other games and it’s just healthier for the game if you have one matchmaking. matchmaking is already split between 3v3 4v4 and 5v5. the game offers voice comms so there is parity more or less.
splitting matchmaking will lead to longer queue times and nobody wants to sit around waiting to play the game

Have it be optional then, with the default being the current way. But if solo players want, they can choose a longer queue time to end up in fairer more balanced matches. There would be enough who don't bother changing the setting for 5 stacks to still find solo teams to stomp

[placid rampart]

that’s counter-efficient

[trail kestrel]

What, giving people the choice to find a fair match instead of wasting time getting smoked by a 5 stack. Lol

[placid rampart]

what your saying is that there should be and option in the menu or smth, which would double queue time since half of the player base could switch to that options

[trail kestrel]

Not that many people would change it, only those who want to voluntarily lengthen their queue time to find fairer games

Most people would just keep it at default

If 5 stacks have to wait a little longer then tough, what fun is it for their 5 solo opponents getting mercy ruled. With cross play there would be enough players with options like this anyway

It's not like u have a zero chance if winning its just five stack has chemistry. It's like pickup basketball

[trail kestrel]

I've played against obvious 5 stacks and checked some of their stats after, some have 60, 70%+ win rates. It's far more than if the same players had solo queued. It's not a zero chance but it's a heavy disadvantage. Let people choose to face them if they want the challenge but otherwise we should have the option to play fair matches

Or at least match 5 stacks against teams of a higher average MMR than themselves, the communication and coordination is a big advantage over players at the same level without that benefit

[ashen torrent]

Another fact is the game chat doesn't work as well

[ashen torrent]

Another problem us if u split 5 stacks and people who aren't full teams if gives longer queue times to five stacks so probably better to keep matchmaking how it is but make so people in high ranks not playing with low rank people and fix game chat so soloq can communicate better

[trail kestrel]

Well yeah but it's no good giving you a game in 10 seconds if it's gonna be a complete stomping for the 5 stack. Maybe the 5 stack enjoys those but the solo players certainly don't
