I think you're mistaken when it comes to prying the advantage from our hands. My lance didn't lose a single one of our ELO'd matches yesterday. For some players, we're just happy to finally have a challenge.
You're thinking I'm a typical l2p person, and I'm not, I want to be given a fair shake when I solo queue also.
However, I did notice that the solo queue's were much more forgiving to people who queue'd that way, which is great! Like I said, catering to casual players is a good thing.
And LoL did allow a similar system, where you could enter the game anywhere from alone to a full team, and the teams would be balanced with similar ELO premades on both sides. (maybe a duo and a trio, or a trio and two solo's etc)
This is also fine with me.
You guys who mainly solo queue could..
one, be nicer to me :]
two, stop seeing yourselves as a separate entity..
It's to everyone's advantage to have the ELO system in place. Some of us are sick of rick-rolling folks and really prefer a challenge, not to mention a preference for battling it out with other practiced lances rather than casual folks.
Looking at it from the perspective of who will "have the advantage pried from their hands" is a bit childish and we'd probably at least have a nicer forum environment if you kept your venom in your fangs :]
And I have advice for pugs... focus fire, stick together and get voice coms ;]
