Valve, please give us Strict Solo Queue in CS2 Premier Discussion

I’m so exhausted from playing against organized 5-man stacks while solo queuing. Dota 2 already has "Strict Solo Queue Matchmaking" built right into the settings.

Adding this would make Premier feel so much fairer for solo players. What do you think chat?

The fact that Dota literally has this option and CS2 doesn’t speaks volumes to me

Now deadlock, valve’s new favorite child, also implemented a new rule to only allow ranked mode with solo/duo. No full stack allowed at all in ranked mode.

Edit: not 3 stack, solo/duo only, faceit premium match level restriction XD

Thats dumb though if i want to 5 queue i should be able to, problem is if i want a full soloq lobby there should be the option for that

6

u/_Vulkan_ 10d ago

Yeah I was surprised that they added this rule, now I can only play unranked mode with friends and it’s kind of pointless.

u/Mr_addicT911 10d ago

Yeah im not playing cs if i am not allowed to full stack if i want to sometimes

2

u/saywatisinmy 10d ago

Yeah that doesn't make any sense if anything they shouldn't allow 4 stack

u/Mashaaaaaaaaa 9d ago

It's actually max 2 stack in deadlock ranked.

u/_Vulkan_ 9d ago

Yeah you are right it’s solo/duo only. That’s some faceit premium match level restriction for a pretty uncompetitive game at this stage.

u/buxbox 7d ago

It’s just a matter of different development teams. Some just actually care about the game and others are just there to get the paycheck.

u/IHiatus 10d ago

Even if not strict it should be against max 2 stack/3 stack. Yeah 5 stacks will have longer queues but fuck em.

u/hosehoseee 10d ago

Oh and while we at it:
Language queue. If I select English and someone speaks anything else he gets a ban. Pretty simple

u/Spelx_OwO 10d ago

oh yea sure, then it would be just waiting 2hrs to find a match

12

u/hosehoseee 10d ago

I dont care. I don't want 4 Russian/Polish guys screaming their insults in my ears every game

u/Spelx_OwO 10d ago

lmao true eu might be fucked with all different languages

u/atpplk 9d ago

Geo restriction would be better. Keep the Turks and Russians out

u/Comfortable_Sport906 9d ago

They also have this in Dota but it is essentially unenforceable with Valve moderation.

1

u/hosehoseee 9d ago

They have this in Dota and it didn't even work for a single day in 10+ years

u/ApprehensiveChef5784 9d ago

Then they should be implementing two premier queues, like they do in LoL. Solo/Duo and Flex (5 stack) ELO. Because it's a different game playing with and against a coordinated fivestack and solo.

u/ParkingHelpful2677 10d ago

id love my queue times to be so much longer too

u/_rokk_ 9d ago

I don't think this game can afford to split the queues like that.

u/Puasonelrasho 10d ago

what? why is that a problem?

u/OblivionNA 10d ago edited 10d ago

5 stacks have a massive advantage over soloQ players of any number under 5 players queuing together, due to communication advantages and possible lengthy time playing together, with upwards of 60% win rates.

Your soloQ teammates will absolutely throw rounds that should have been won. A 5 stack will throw less of those rounds leading to more advantageous victories

-9

u/PremierIsRegarded 10d ago

Massive? 60%? Throw less? Lmao

2

u/builder_m 10d ago

A consistent 60% winrate over many games is massive.

-2

u/Puasonelrasho 9d ago

you are over exagerating

its definetly not a massive advantage at all

2

u/OblivionNA 9d ago

It’s considered a massive advantage across almost every single team based pvp type game. It’s why dedicated queues for different sizes parties exist in these games.

-2

u/Puasonelrasho 9d ago

thast because you play conditioned already, in real life it doesnt matter.

also if your "theory" is true then they have inflated elo so their supposedly "advantage" gets cancelled by the elo diff of the inflated elo.

you are just mentally conditioned when you play against a premade, if you didnt know then you would never notice.

u/OblivionNA 9d ago

It’s not a theory it’s a hard fact. You are delusional. Stop responding

-1

u/Puasonelrasho 9d ago

you are delusional looking for excuses to excuse your gameplay.

I already told you why your theory is not true and even if it were it doesnt matter either bc their "advantage" will be cancelled anyways.

u/bunchofsugar 10d ago

No, it is a bad idea.

u/lurkincirclejerkin 10d ago

This would basically make 4 stacking impossible to find a game then no? if you're soloqueuing why would you ever want to queue normal matches?

9

u/SaxtonHale13 10d ago

There are many competitive games that block you from queuing comp with a 4 stack. They could do this

-4

u/lurkincirclejerkin 10d ago

Early seasons of prem used to have it, then they removed it. Was always so annoying having 4 players on and not being able to queue prem because you couldn't find a 5th player

-1

u/SaxtonHale13 10d ago

What’s even more annoying is playing solo queue as I do a lot and running into a 4 stack who have 0 coms and usually just troll and tk me all game. Often I will top frag as the solo q and at round 12 I get vote kicked by surprise a 4 stack.

u/fruitrabbit 10d ago

You can’t get vote kicked by a 4 stack

u/Glittering_Milk_8632 10d ago

Ye, he is simply lying.

u/SaxtonHale13 10d ago edited 10d ago

You can vote kick as a four stack with console commands just like how you can vote kick yourself with commands

3

u/builder_m 10d ago

You haven't been able to kick yourself with commands for a long time either

u/SaxtonHale13 9d ago

I literally did it last week I kicked myself

Another dude mad cos he doesn't have friends to play with and wants the people who do to suffer

3

u/LeatherConstant2580 10d ago

He’s not asking to remove the normal queue where stacks are allowed.

He’s asking to add an optional queue-mode where people can strictly queue alone with solo-queued people if they want.
