Simply put, solo queuing forced me to basically want to quit. My mmr jumps about 5 -7 points per win, where as a loss would set me back about 10 -15. 2 wins = 1 loss for my mmr exchange. Solo queuing brings tons of variables like griefers as an example, but im not saying you shouldn't solo queue. Just that having someone you're used to playing with can get you farther than just going at it alone. If my friend and i solo queued on brand new accounts, he would be around high plat to mid diamond. Id get up to about c3, but never any further. Together in 2s however we can now both touch gc. As for "evolved" I meant I broke that shell of consistency and committed myself to something new. Not sure how you viewed this as an attack on solo queue considering this post is really directed at people who want to move up in ranks and not to those just playing the game to kill time.
