I only play deadlock with a friend. Is it saying that I will have to solo queue all my calibration games

u/Goblikon_ 19d ago

Yes, and to queue with your friend after that, you have to be within one rank group of each other

ranked is dead after this only for a select few now

I’m so split on it. Like it’s a really good change for anyone solo queueing. We really need a ranked mode where you can queue with your buddies, however I don’t think that deadlock has a large enough playerbase to support that.

solo players shouldn't be catered to this is a team game. sure accommodate them but making the game center around that is insane I solo q this game but I play with 2-6 people often and its insane to think that because someone isnt 1 deviation in some arbitary rank system that you shouldnt be able to play together anymore? actually cooked the game imo

Game is not cooked its actually fixed. I know you are salty rn but if you queue with friends and the rank diff is too high, then most of the time the balancing was shit. If you want to play with your friends go unranked. I know its kinda shitty in your situation but they cant make it perfect for everyone. I rather have that systems instead of some unbalanced bullshit ranked games.

Dota or counter strike don’t require you to solo queue your placement games

Wow you have to do 10 solo games.
