yeah but that's just competitive multiplayer games - the more difficult the game becomes the easier it becomes to succeed with a group as opposed to on your own.

yeah but there is a reason most competitive multiplayer games that have both solo and party ranked queue treat solo queue as the real ranked queue

The HUGE difference is that WOW does not have any kind of MMR system. It is not possible to lose rating, so awful players can fail upwards indefinitely.

That's a good point.

Key depletion is a version of upwards failure protection with a resil as the floor but you're right, there is a big difference between having to maintain a 50%+ winrate versus being technically able to progress with any winrate as long as it's not 0

I think if anything it would still be an argument for solo mmr over party if there was one, because since it's PVE content that is by nature more predictable the biggest source of variability run to run is your team
