Return of Reckoning

Solo ranked is won or lost based on how many noob players are on either side. Its based on whether or not people want to use comms. It is impossible to communicate morale drops, target switches, guard swaps, burst rotations or anything else without comms. Calling it a ranked mode when its solo queue is a joke. Only group ranked should be a thing, because that actually involves communicating. Solo ranked is just a glorified group finder for people lazy to form groups, so they can blame others when they lose, "stack" with their friends and guildies versus pugs (essentially grouped vs solo players), or just farm games mindlessly. The idea that people are learning from solo ranked is a lie, you cannot learn communication and teamwork by not doing either of those things. And nobody is recruiting from people to form groups based on solo ranked.

If we get 500 votes, I will present this proposal to the council of elders for deliberation. Otherwise, no deal.

I like solo queue. Most of the time it's not the players fault, it's 6v6 class balance. 75% of 1k+ mmr are kobs, slayer or WP on order. I'm interested to see what the balance patches bring to this game mode. I like that people try, its much better then standard soloq scenarios. I would, however, suggest a minimum of rr80.

Your first mistake was considering balance based on a gamemode that is a joke.

But there is enough rvr player that don't want ranked to vote YES. I play without discord and have no problem to reach 1k mmr.
Only thing you need to do is play your class well. There is many players who improve in ranked, from total naab>good player.

No more discord for me in Solo ranked. I have tried, but people are screaming/trashtalking .. . it's the biggest toxic place right now.
