Alright I see what you're talking about. Now that I know you're putting in work to matchmake 3 stacks against 3 stacks I'm fine.

I have another idea I wanna run buy you. What if we added rank demotion BUT make it like Arena Ranked where you get ranked rewards based on the highest rank reached? So people wouldn't 'stop' playing as once they get to (P4, D4, Masters) they still get rewarded on reaching their highest rank. This is in reference to the comments under your most recent tweet.

I'm trying to accommodate players who just want to get ranked rewards (badge+trail) and the players who rightfully complain that hardstuck randoms play with 0 fear since they're aren't punished for making dumb plays.

I hope my response makes sense here.. Do you think the Loss Aversion mentality would convince people who are comfortable playing in a 3 stack to ditch their teammates and play solo just so they have lower entry cost?

After all, even given the lower entry cost as a solo, it's still harder to get KP/ RP as a solo in the first place!

Tbh I'm down for any change to make solo q ranked more fair so I'm open to more ideas other than this. I just wanted to justify this idea cause I think it's a relatively fair change.

Could you not get a sample size of players and measure their average peformance soloqueueing vs in 3 stacks and with a duo, and use that data to adjust entry costs?

While I was climbing to Masters last split which I didnt do full squad for the first time, I got placed into obv full stack pred lobbies while having diamond randoms.

Why do you see it as punish players for playing with friends when this is a teamgame and playing with randoms makes it significantly harder over a coordinated team? It happens rly often where randoms cause u to die early on. Theres not rly a downside to a solo player losing less RP.

we don't want to punish stacks, we want to make solo q more fair

in dota 2 for example you get +30 mmr for a win as solo q(if you lose you get -30), in a party you get +20

According to hideouts there's a whole team doing what he does. Never seen or heard from them though. I don't like to jump to conspiracies, but I've always had suspicions that he IS the team, and Respawn don't want people knowing that. Why else would he need to jump on over his break to ban people? His team should be covering that and it's a really unhealthy work ethic to have, ESPECIALLY if you're off due to stress.
