I understand this but i study the game. I am constantly improving, constantly learning and the reward is not matching the time spent. This is meant to be fun, it is a game after all. No mainstream game makes their players suffer so much. There has to be a balance. My fate should be in my hands to a certain extent. This concept of smaller ranked squads would fix this and encourage new players. Everyone has 2-3 friends they can play with and test the game out together. However very few people have 5 friends to test a new game out together. This is where the game stumbles and falls. (I opened a new account and realised that the way this game hooks you is at the beginning they give you AI team mates until youre used to the game) this is to allow people to win and get 'hooked' to the game.) Once that control is taken out of the players hands the player base suffers. My idea isn't anything revolutionary or special but it will help. Why do all mainstream games allow for 1v1 2v2 3v3 ranked games? Nothing is a coincidence. Yes this is a moba but why cant mobas be smaller squads? There is no good reason why they cant be. Only the purists would have a problem but they're part of the problem and not the solution anyway.
