I'm proud of my team man. Most people probably just see @BattlegroundOCE as the main broadcast of PL.
Without knowing we run all the scrims for both Tier 2 and Tier 1. Running close to 3 lobbies a night sometimes 4. My amazing team do this EVERY NIGHT. Except the weekends. We are building a community and a place that is safe for the competitors.
I've learnt a lot in the last year and I feel like we are building a great thing for years to come. W team!
Solo queue is amazing and 100% needed for the game to fix the power imbalance at the highest ranks so we can finally got some quality gameplay in Ranked.
But Diamond should NOT be forced to solo queue, it should be only Master & Apex Pred that should be solo and then they should also only matchmake with eachother.
By making Diamond solo Queue with master and pred the power imbalance doesn't get "fixed" it just becomes RNG.
Everytime you queue up if you get diamond players on your team as an Apex Predator you are just creating frustration and animosity and the game is going to turn extremely toxic which is not the point of adding solo queue.
Allow Diamonds to 3 stack, make Master & Pred solo queue and then let them only matchmake with eachother and I promise that the quality of Ranked is going to be insanely good while also keeping a positive and healthy environment 👍
