Are you also tired of losing elo because again you just won your lane, but loose the game because you have a Leaver / Feeder ?

I am . And I tell you what, when I play Duo Q it's MUCH easier to carry the game !

So this Thread is about finding ppl who like to get their Elo higher, without loosing stupid games... [ Elo Hell , hurray ]

Just fill in this:

Server :
Name:
Elo :
Role:

I'll start :

Server : Eu West
Name: Rhite
Elo: 1200 - 1300
Role: AP carry, or if i have to AD carry

I que with a friend.

The strange thing is it takes about 7-10 minutes to get a game qued together.(3v3)

I haven't dwelled much into 5v5. I prefer having more impact on the game.

I'm pretty sure I know a person or two or three that might not be fond of duo-queuing.

I think if you are both below your "real" elo, duo queing is probably a good idea, but if you are near it, it hurts because the engine puts value on the fact that you are "coordinated". so unless you have some really sick lane combo going and play significantly better together than apart, its probably just better to solo q

The only time duo queuing helps is when you're smurfing or are under the rating you actually should be at. Otherwise you're just loading the other team with higher elo players.

Duo queue is really bad, unless your 200+ points below where you should be (not where your think you should be), don't do it.

I've experienced it alot in the first season and like other said, it just boost the other team with better ELO players.

Not recommended.

1511 ELO ---> DuoQ with someone decent, drop to 1398 ELO--> soloQ to 1521 the next two days npnp.

Technically duoQ is amazing, in practice it sucks balls for me.

Duo Q is the worst thing ever.
I duo Q: 3 feeders on my team.
I get a duo Q on my team: those 2 feed and don't communicate.
I get a duo Q on the enemy team: 5HIT gets carried.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Solo que > Duo queue 99% of the time. The matchmaking puts you up with bigger tards to compensate for being a duo.

The only time where duo queue is a valid choice is at like 2.2k elo where most players are legit and good.

And then it's still bad because a 2.2k elo duo queue will have like a 1 hour queue time.
