Solo dropper here. I in no way shape or form want anything to do with being filler for groups. From what I have been led to understand, people who roll in groups are a very small minority in this game. Keep the groups fighting other groups, keep the solo people solo. Stop trying to get pgi to provide cannon fodder for your group.

You would be able to play in a solo queue, where no groups are allowed at all.

You should totally be in favor of making a solo queue and an unrestricted queue.

That's my vote.

This playlist would be totally optional, pal. You don't want to be filler? Don't play in it. Simple.

Yeah, this thread is SPECIFICALLY about replacing the 12-man-only public queue with a between-6-and-12-man group public queue, with solo players filling the gaps.

It's not really about making a solo and unrestricted set of queues; that's for a different thread. This thread is only a discussion about substituting the 12-man-only for a Large-Group queue to improve the matchmaker flexibility without really harming anyone. If you completely disagree with the mixing of solo and group players, then please voice your opinion about it in a discussion about it. Your voice will be heard where it counts - in context. In here, we're just talking about modifying Paul's Launch Module to improve it one way. If you want to rework it in a different way, then talk about it where people are talking about modifying it the way you want to...

I like it and would queue in it.......

As with the other topics with similar ideas......

As long as I can queue for the solo queue, the small group queue+solos and the large group+ solos I'll be happy.

OPT IN only

As someone who plays with a group AND Solo I'd love this.

a ) if you dont have a big enough group then you get enthusiatstic and team oriented fillers.
b ) when solo you dont have to worry about the randoms, you can pick the organised lance and support them.

When playing Solo I'd totally opt in for being filler for teams, but as Pihb said, some dont want to, and hence why this option would have to be Opt IN.

I'm a casual and pure solo player without any interest in CW/ladders/tournament and I really dislike your suggestion to become cannon fodder for larger groups.

Give us a solo que and a open for all group sizes que.

@OP: After reading the whole thread, please clarify the OP otherwise (I think) you would get more post from solo players. I dislike your idea anyway.
