High MMR & stack abuse can be fixed using player psychology

Right now Phreak said there is little resources to go toward this problem, however it can actually be fixed with minor tweaks and players will solve it themselves.

Firstly we need a separate player mmr for solo play and group play but keep the queues together so groups still play against solos and queue times are not affected.

This includes a separate displayed rank for both solo and group play.

This is where players realize group mmr is kind of meaningless, just like flex queue in retail. After this change players queue solo and ranked integrity fixes itself.

As an added bonus you can queue with friends without affecting your solo classic mmr!

We need a separate ranking for solo and group play

This can be done without having a separate queue for solo and groups. This keeps the single queue for all classic players and does not reduce queue times.

  • It will allow you to play wacky builds with your friends without tanking your solo rating.
  • It will reduce the number of 5 stacks in high elo.
  • It will create a fair playing field for solo players.
  • It will bring in more players.

There are no downsides.
