Is it just me or is it a lot harder?
I was with a to4 yesterday and I was just coasting to Onyx 1600 and now I’m just dropping a considerable amount
I thought solo queuing was supposed to be more forgiving?
My experience in Team Arena sounds pretty similar to yours. I’ve mostly played in teams (generally full TO4) and placed Diamond 2, so my “real MMR” at the time was Diamond 5. However, when I solo queue it’s pretty much a CSR loss session.

It’s so unfortunate.
This new system is “supposed” to be accurate, which is bullocks!
I’ve been all over the place. From D4 to Onyx 1600. It’s pretty ridiculous
That’s at least 200 in MMR. I get 50, maybe even 100, but 200?
It’s a pretty typical scenario for players that play in a team, rack up a bunch of wins, then go solo and start losing tons of CSR for losses. CSR is solely based on win/loss. You’ll never not gain (or lose) any CSR when you play a match. Therefore, you can still grind your way up to Onyx tier, even if you’re only gaining one CSR per win. The key stat is MMR, the rank the system truly believes you are, which is hidden to us, so you can’t possibly know it. Well, not the exact number, anyway. Depending on where it’s at relative to your CSR more or less determines just how much you gain or lose in a match. If your MMR isn’t keeping pace along with your CSR (which tends to be the case for players playing in teams), that’s when your CSR starts falling off a cliff when you lose, as the system brings you down to where your true skill (MMR) is.

Yeah I’ve been all over as well. This season has been a bit more consistent since I’ve mostly played with teams. But last season I think I was anywhere from Diamond 5 to Plat 6. I will say, TrueSkill 2 and/or whatever other tweaks they’ve made to MM have made solo queuing MUCH better than it was previously, but a lot of times you’re at the mercy of, “is my teammate going to be AFK for half the game?” or “will they quit after the first flag cap?”
If you can get to Onyx from solo queing or even Diamond 5 there’s nothing stopping you from getting Champ if you have a good team. Solo queing is getting harder because I’m always matching teams it seems. Now I can’t even play Slayer until I have someone else in my fireteam.
