Group Queue Not Pairing for Laning Phase

[KingCondor]

This is a common problem that for some reason is not being fixed? When queueing with friends, you are often put in different lanes which is not very practical when you are likely to have discord running with your friends making for better comms and lane chemistry. You can obviously switch lanes but there are times where you have uncooperative teammates who refuse to play ball or get upset when you want to switch lanes and as a result cause a lot of friction and ruin the games momentum. This is also a problem when people are muted and cannot communicate with teammates.

You gotta think of the flip side of this. If you're duo laning ito solo queues, are they going to have a good time?

Better to split the duo so all the solos have a more even experience

It's unranked so the "duo laning into solo queues" doesn't really matter does it?

A good example is trying to teach a friend how to play the game and you constantly have to organise lane swapping at the beginning and most of the time in newer player lobbies they dont bother moving anyway.

Lane assignments are dicated by the players mmr and in wide skill range lobbies the MM system will try not to pair you against the higher skilled players in solo lanes.

This is untrue, I have solo queued as beebop vs infernus players and absolutely smoked them with my eyes shut

If you queue with someone, you intend to play with them, why would they make it so you dont, people force lane swapping anyways so it makes 0 sense to not have them together. L developers

Yoshi himself said it laning together is a priority but if the mmr difference is too wide you get split into other lanes to balance it out.

I honestly think they should just always pair duos, they're going to lane swap anyway.

ahh yes, using MMR is public games when laning with friends has always gone well for games, such a dumb dev move
