It has occurred to me that the most rational plan for bypassing as many as premades as possible in this system is to simply allow them to fight against one another for a week or two and let all of them get to the higher tiers first.
I have to assume that there’s some sort of common sense design to these tiers and that players in diamond/legendary aren’t going to be thrown into the same pool of players as people from amber/emerald/sapphire. If this isn’t the case then the tiers are functionally meaningless anyways and the entire system is a farce; a facade.
Hopefully the primary effect of this plan would be to create a de facto solo queue. Secondarily it might also starve a lot of these premades of matches they can easily win and get them to stop queueing entirely thus significantly raising the queue times for the really high level teams.
The only way this system gets fed is if we let it get fed. They don’t think solo players matter. Let’s try to show them that we do so that they might actually consider our fun next time around.
