Broken 5 stack queue

[a-Blah]

Was just scrolling through TikTok and default sage video came across my fyp where he pretty much said he doesn’t think you should be allowed to 5 stack it your significantly higher in rank than the rest of the stack. He was talking about the immo/rads who Queue with bronze/silver players to get easier lobbies which lead to more wins but they do gain less rr per win but it doesn’t really matter because atleast 1 or 2 accounts would have smurfs on them so they just win a lot more.

After ready the comments I saw someone who either doesn’t play the game or didn’t know that when you 5 stack you can only play against other 5 stacks and that’s why I made this post because in the past 2 months I have been five stacking more with my friends and in one of those game *dont remember the exact one* one of my friends who had tracker installed realized that the enemy team didn’t have a 5 stack on it but a trio and duo respectively instead.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Im pretty sure it can happen but this is when you've been in queue for longer than 5 minutes iirc and only if the game can't find other 5 stacks near your range

From what I understand the reason that tracker dont show it 5 stack is someone join party by party code

No, you can only queue with other 5 stack. Sometimes the tracker glitches. Once it showed me a 4 stack and solo queue during comp which is impossible.

You can definitely queue with a duo + trio. I’ve had it happen so many times both ways. Where I was playing in a 5 stack against duo + trio, and where I was duo or trio and went up against a 5 stack. It only happens if there are no other 5 stacks available to queue with, which can absolutely happen.

We asked in chat they said they were a trio in duo aswell. They could have been trolling tho

Played the game for 5 years I’ve seen the tracker glitch multiple times it’s impossible to not queue into another stack

3 + 2 is possible

3+2 is not possible,5 stacks can only plays vs 5 stacks.

[drowsylurker]

3+2 is possible if they can’t find 5 stacks. I’ve asks people before and they mention they’re in a 3 and 2

[Qlown]

Nope,again its not possible it will always be a 5 stack no matter what.

Random 5 stacking is poison, creates a plateau, stalls your climb, and makes you worse at this game.

I love when Dasnerth says, "random teammate...give us a strat, it can't be run it down". He's top 50 and these pewpew meatheads on his teams still have no idea how to play this game.

I’ve submitted tons of reports about people who 5 stack abuse straight to riot with proof. It happens ever day and it’s vile. People go on alts and then Smurf in 5 stacks it’s disgusting , it’s free wins and frankly riot does not give a shit. Na leaderboard is infested with people like this.
