because they need to make a separate solo que to make good competitive matches

perfect matchmaking against discord voice chat comm'ed parties. this 3 man party met me like 3 or 4 times in 2 hours. in all those matches we had no 2 or 3 man parties. we lost all these 3-4 matches with the same results.

Because the match making algorithm is dysfunctional. Part of the issue is likely a lack of people in queue for arenas.

The other issue being how people with negative win/loss ratios can still somehow be in silver I or silver II, which one would assume is meant to top 30%-50% of players.

The RP issue is another problem altogether. If i play 10 games in a row and win/lose half, it will result in an overall net loss for me.

I believe both should be possible. However, there should be an RP penalty for teaming and winning / losing vs solo (and inversely those that fought the team) , because obviously the risk to reward is much less if you’re teaming.

Doesn’t make sense to have solo queue take more of a liability at the high levels. Same mechanics as group dungeons / partys.
