No way. They will have to play the China/SEA qualifier. Direct invite to a korean team would be a joke.

Best mode for playing solo queue ranked? I waffle between all 3. CM just takes forever to do pick/ban, CD is straight up lost at pick/ban a lot and all pick is well... AP.

Doesn't really matters. In CM and CD, if the captain is retarded game is lost. Actually if you care, you may have a better team comp in AP. Best mode is the old solo queue mode.

Solo queue is a lot more tolerable with 4 stacks gone

4 stacks gone? 3 stack are not better at all.

Second time you've posted to complain about 1-2-2 in like, two days?
I don't see how it's objectively 'worse', some games you win, some you don't, regardless of the stacking going on.

5 stacks vs. 3-1-1 or 2-2-1 is a serious problem the new system has introduced. It's pretty asinine to say "sometimes you win, sometimes you don't" when there's a really obvious factor contributing to those losses and wins which is very poorly controlled. It's just not possible to accurately factor in the stack advantage when there's that much difference in premade coordination.

Of course, 4+1 is also miserable for the 1 in a lot of cases, so pick your poison.

Personally, even if it's less elegant than solo/non-solo, I think they just need a "are you willing to be matched as a 1 in 1-4?" button. Then they can match 5s with those, while reducing the playerpool by the smallest amount possible.

I honestly have no idea why it isn't. RD is more balanced than CD imo.

Also, when real solo queue existed I actually didn't use it when I queued solo - 4 stack ranked groups were just massively worse than the non-ranked variants.

I think removing 4 parties is pants on head retarded -.-;;. What kind of matchmaking system requires you to scour IRC for people to play with???
Personally I never had a problem playing as a plus 1, then again I mute people at the slightest hint of aggression =p.

2-2-1 is the worst really. Whenever I've gotten in a 2-2-1 that starts to go sour, the 2 guys start to fight with the other 2 guys, and then when they realize that you've been keeping quiet, start shitting on you as well.

Of course, I have won some games as the 1 in a 2-2-1 vs 5 so it's all good.

I've started to care less about losing and just chalk it up to me being shit tier bad rather than blaming the MM which I can't do anything about.

The actual worst is a stack on the other team plus a guy on your team who actually is friends with the guys he's playing against and as such throws the game.

I now know where the phrase 'blind with rage' comes from.

I know that. That's when you play Naix and chase a rat-pushing Prophet who just sprouts and TPs while you're Raged outside the sprout.
