This just makes it to where the diamond players who don’t really care about that grind and just want to play with their friends, can no longer do that 👎
📋TESTING:
From June 9th to June 23rd we will be conducting the following test in Ranked:
Ranked will be solo queue only for all players Diamond and above. If you are Diamond or higher, you will not be able to squad up as a premade in Ranked.
Our hypotheses are that this will create more evenly matched high-skill lobbies, reduce hard-carries into Diamond, Master and Predator and build trust in the overall fairness of these matches.
While this is a commonly requested feature by portions of our community, we will be closely monitoring community sentiment and match data.
Note: The in-game notification that some encountered yesterday (May 19th) was a visual error, and players are currently still able to squad up without restrictions.
Maybe a hot take but if your diamond and care about masters / pred grind, you should be able to hold your weight against those teams, and also everytime you die because of that skill gap you should learn and improve. Long story short this doesn’t fix the problem of ranked and
