Yeah, I get that. It's not like you always have to play with the exact same party, so everyone's rank has to be individual, but isn't your individual ranking within the party matches distinct from your individual ranking within solo matches?

It was a misunderstanding between me and Astryoneus. I had said that that match fixing in Matched Party queue does not effect your individual rank, by which I meant a player's solo-queue ranking. Astryoneus misunderstood me and responded with:

I'm sure, now, that he/she was referring to a player's individual ranking within the matched-party leader boards, but, at the time, I was confused and thought that he/she meant that matched-party results somehow effected your solo-queue ranking. I was reading "individual" to mean "solo-queue." Like I said, it was just a misunderstanding.

I do find it interesting that any exploitation that is occurring hasn't had a very obvious result on the leader boards, though. I'm sure it seems obvious as Rudolf's nose to the people who have actually seen it in action, but the overall rankings don't really show it off. Despite the impressive number of matches being played and the winning percentages of the top players (I've seen upwards of 90%), the player rankings are still low. Last I checked, the highest players I saw were still in the gold tier of the rankings. If people are bolstering their winning points by bringing in bronze players, then I'm kind of surprised that no one has made platinum yet.
