Smurfing and RR boosting are affecting all low and mid-Elo players in VALORANT, leading to a very frustrating ranked experience. Solo queuers are bearing the brunt of the problem, and to help alleviate the growing problem, players are calling on Riot Games to implement a popular League of Legends ranked feature.

Players today called for VALORANT to adopt a dedicated Competitive queue just for the newly added lone wolves. The idea first emerged on Reddit, where fans suggested that a solo-only matchup with no pre-made groups would reduce, if not eliminate, smurfing and rank increases, and alleviate a critical but neglected communication problem.
As one VALORANT player noted in a comment, Riot has already implemented the exclusive queue in League, so it's not impossible to do the same for their popular tactical shooter.
There are numerous reasons why solo VALORANT players may want to skip the queue to their own game. Not least of which is that these individuals often encounter pre-made duos and trios who communicate with each other via their team chat and wipe out their team chat, confusing others outside of their team as to the objective.
