#YoloQ finally getting its own arena

PvP Solo Queue
Solo Arena matches allow you to get right into the action of PvP matches in a competitive environment without gathering a full team or finding yourself fighting against a pre-formed group. Solo Arena has its own leaderboard so players can earn rank without affecting their Team Arena standings.Now, I don’t know about you guys, but I’m incredibly happy about this.
SoloQ needed to be separated from Team queuing for a long time, and we finally got the change we wanted. Personally, I think that this is going to be a better indicator of how good a player is, not how good his/her team is. It’s also going to be a lot easier to just go join Solo Queue, without having to worry about ratings dropping off a cliff.

There needed to be a casual verse hardcore sort of queing.
That’s the core of the issue.
Solo queing being the casual probably wasn’t the best idea, but whatever… its not like mediocre ideas are new to this game.
Random groups of friends looking to mess around weren’t the issue and never will be… now they get punished… just what a game desperate for population needs…
WOOT! Solo Q and permanent finishers ftw!

If you think that soloQ will be casual, you’re in for a lot of pain I’m afraid…

This.
Solo Q is ranked, it won’t be casual. Won’t be surprised if players become more demanding. Still it is progress regardless.

With group que being spastic about what skill level of players you fight and typically be against the same people (there aren’t that many premades that que up in this game) solo que will end up being the go to place for quick and easy play (I just hope group que doesn’t end up like paid tournies).
And as a sidenote, SPvP is garbage when it comes to gameplay.
Yes players will QQ, just like every game, when people suck.
A mode being ‘ranked’ doesnt make it competitive.
The ranking doesn’t give anything and is volatile as kitten since glory means jack kitten about how well you played… and winning is heavily reliant on the random team you have… meaning people won’t take it all that seriously because ranking is very influenced by luck. It is hard to take a system that is notably out of your control seriously and competitively. I can only see it being taken even less seriously than rankings are right now...
