Ranked needs a solo and team elo.

If you need stacks to fight solos fine, but give people a solo que rank so that they are fairly represented and people know that solo is harder than team.

Right. Split the competitive community even further for longer times.

Comp is always and always been a place for teams. Like it or not (I don’t like it) but you only gonna be very successful with a team.

You misunderstood. Everybody is in the same machmaking pool, but a different elo pool. Dota does this.

(Jostabeere) #4

Okay. And how you wanna calculate the Elos? If you get a random team against a full 5-players team noone will get a single change in Elo since all have a different Elo pool.
Sorry, but 2 Elos won’t work in 1 MM.

People will know that gold 5 in solo is s good as cobalt 2 in team

Hey guys, Dota 2 does this thing to prevent pupstomping
LOL that can’t work in practice

Do you even read what you answer to Jostabeere.

Dota 2 has 2 Elo calculations in 1 matchmaker? Tell me please how it works.
What happens if a random team plays against a real team to the MMR of both teams?
I don’t play Dota. And to me it sounds like this won’t work. if it does, fine. Just my opinion, don’t act arrogant like it’s a fact.

Imo the best thing would be just make competitive for teams only. So people learn to play together. Or solo only, and no teams at all.

Make it happen!

If a team of solos beats a full que team (3 in a row after the update, then been losing every game since xD) then you should be given more elo points imo. Or at least something to that effect.

I think we should just bite the bullet and have a solo que mode for matchmaking, or change it so a solo player could only join a group searching as 4 or 2 groups searching in pairs etc… and having something similar to halo 3 with that little gradient bar next to the peoples name so you know who is partied together and who is on there own.

It’s a team based game u as good as ur team, Elo system is completed enough why messing with it?
And rank or levels doesn’t matter!

(nimbleIsland) #10

Because it’s killing ranked right now, and rightfully so. It’s not completed enough. You are often better than your elo.

(frankopeti) #11

Yeah u might be better than ur actually rank but du u really care? Play against other teams to see how Gud u really are, shouldn’t play just to get a silly trinket

In DOTA 2 the way you queue affects your potential opponents - if you queue as a duo the teams will generally be made of single and duo queuers with the occasional 3/2 teams. You would never have an enemy team that queued as 5.

Queuing as 5 will result with an enemy team of 5 or 4 + 1. It’s been awhile but I think they capped party queues for ranked MM to 3 player parties.

This will not work with Dirty Bomb because of low player base. If you want features like these you need to get more people playing and more people playing ranked.

I’d like to see a solo/duo queue too. Taking Cobalt/Elite as a 5 man group undoubtedly takes a ton of teamwork and skill, but a person who can climb up there partying with randoms is in a league of their own

(Szakalot) #14

one of the reasons people don’t play ranked is precisely because you need a bunch of friends to have any fun. soloqueueing is a suicide, especially at high levels where you have to carry a bunch of clueless golds against a premade cobalt team.

Solo/duo queue will not separate the playerbase, it will give people that otherwise avoid MM a reason to get into it.

I don’t play Comp because i’m tired of being stomp by 5 party teams.

If the make a solo option i will be back, and i’m pretty sure i’m not the only one who thinks that way. For know, i just play the game during events.
