Restrictions on duo queue?

I don't mean to sound like I'm whining (maybe a little bit), but shouldn't there be "some" restrictions on duo queue?

I didn't really pay attention to it until last game I got platinum 1 and bronze 1 guys playing duo. How the game went on is not important.

I'm not trying to flame or insult anyone here, I just think it's silly that you can pretty much duo from diamond with guy from bronze. Yes, you gain less and lose more, but if you're the other 3 guys, you're pretty much screwed. :)

to be fair, it may be an advantage. the plat 1 guy will be first pick the entire game, and it depends on him to carry against lower elo players

even then, they might be using skype and hes telling the bronze 1 guy what to not do and such if hes trying to get him out of bronze 1

I think it can go both ways. Yes, many times duos do poorly and oftentimes lose bot lane when they go adc/supp, but it can be a good thing for the team as well. If the higher elo player is plat or diamond, then he should be able to own his lane so bad that the poor performance of the lower elo player is not noticed as much.

I think Duo is not meant as "climbing the ladder together" from Riot side, it's more "play competitive with a friend without the need of always havon 4 friends online and on the same level".

So they don't care who duos with who - it's for friends who want to play together.

// I don't like Duo at all, if i play soloQ then alone.

Not being able to lane against the plat, and smash him apart

Are you some sort of pleb?
