Group queue he didn't give numbers, but did say it's worse because the pools are smaller and there are team averages. So right now group queue is actually having worse match-ups than solo.

I'll buy this, based on how good matchups have been for me since the patch that started trying to push 3/3/3/3 and the amount of griping about the group queue, especially for small groups sucks. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet for myself (since the patch) since my friends and I often keep different hours, but hopefully I'll get an opportunity to drag some peeps into small group drops this coming week.

Not sure what podcast you are getting that deduction from, because Russ said in the NGNG podcast that the majority of the solo queue games have a variance of 50 Elo.


51% could be called a majority. Just saying.

Which is still a far cry from "how it works is 1 pro and 5 noobs, 6 average on Team A". That's not how it works. *IF* all the release valves have been triggered, *AND* the target match Elo was in the middle of the range, it *CAN* happen, that's how it works. And for the Majority it doesn't happen.

Just saying. Edge cases don't make the normal.

Sounds dodgey to me. (Elo system)

After a 2.2 kd and hundreds of 700+ games i still get mouthbreathers on my team who suicide and make us lose the whole game

edit: yup just lost 3 games in kitfox, 2 in adder, 1 in nova and 1 in cent all in a row, average damage over 7 games = 688dmg what a joke for losing 7 in a row...

Trolls always exist on the social ladder no matter how low or high you go.
