We have all been disliking the current meta in AoS, but I have a few ideas that could at least make it more enjoyable.

First off, please when will you bring parties into aos ranked, i understand why you don't sometimes, but just make it so you can only group within the same overall rank, dawn spear can only team with dawn spear, shining spear can only team with shining spear, and then once you hit radiant spear stop partying. Much like other games do.

Second, please add a matchamaking system to stop getting grouped against or with 2 or 3 of the same classes, this is awful for a pvp ranked system in which some classes offer alot more utility than others and begin breaking the balance system once more than one is on a team, this works both way. Sometimes you get 2 or 3 weak classes, just make it so at the very least we don't get duplicate classes on any team.

Third, fix V'ing in the berserker grabs, this has been an issue for a while, either redo his grabs to make them like every other grab in game where it just picks you and puts you down, or fix the V so that you can leave his grip while in his grab.

Fourth add some insentive for getting MVP or Ace, I feel if you are MVP you should get a bit of bonus points, (if that is there, I just don't feel it), and more importantly if you get Ace and lose you should lose less, otherwise you are just throwing a title that does nothing other than bragging rights.

Fifth, maybe a report system, mainly for the lower ranks where people actively throw the match, afk the match, or are just toxic and offer nothing to their teammates.

Lastly, Ruins of Tzol, please either remove or rework this map, this is the only map to feature debuff or damage mechanics innate on the map, this causes some strategy sure, but more often than not it's just makes a ranked system harder to play in once you have to start factoring how the map is going to kill you, remove your forward guard, ect. Keep the map buffs; damage, healing, and dp buffs, just remove the aoes the map inflicts on the players or remove the map.

I understand that all these may not be liked by everyone, so please offer other options or ideas in the comments, I'd love to hear what other people would like to fix in AoS, mechanically wise, less so class wise.

There's parties already in unranked. Next, you carry people in ranked and when they go solo at a rating they shouldn't be at, their teammates are going to get flattened.
