i just wanted to say that perhaps the best way to explain what is wrong with dq is that your ranked ladder has lost perceived value. Challenger, masters, diamond and plat etc... when ppl tell you that they have said rank, you think, ehh probably boosted, not, wow, hes good.

The emblems should help with that. If you see a Diamond with the solo emblem, you know that player got there completely on their own.
I'm not naive enough to claim that boosting doesn't happen, but my suspicion is that most players queuing as premades just want to play with folks they know. It's kind of like "feeding." Not every time someone gives up First Blood are they intentionally feeding. :)

The way you tag answers with so many different categories on tumblr is so cute.

I know they are wildly inconsistent and that sometimes it's #leagueoflegends and sometimes it's #league of legends. Maybe I should just give up. Clearly I don't know what I'm doing. But I have this dream that at some point the site has 10,000 answers and people might only want to read the ones about squids, or high-level D&D or maya pyramids.

You going to be on radio silence until Jan? Xmas and all that

I have been answering more questions on http://askghostcrawler.tumblr.com/
I move some of these questions over to there. For this particular answer, I'll probably post some over the break since I'll have plenty of free time for once. It won't be as easy to ask other Rioters when I don't know an answer, which will reduce my ability to address those topics.

Just because someone is "playing to win" when they want to duo mid or roaming Singed counterjungle support shouldn't put *any* burden of proof/flexibility on the rest of the team. If the rest of the team doesn't think it is acceptable most games, the community has spoken.
