I haven't played a single solo que ranked game because... honestly, I hated the fact that they removed the option to be only queued up with other solo que people. Also, I did not like that AP was being used in ranked games. Lastly, I found that CM and CD could be unfair for solo ques if they are matched up with a party of 4 1 solo que and so on.

Now, I have come to a conclusion that they are not going to add in more fair modes or bring back the solo que option back. So my question is, what mode is best to play for solo que ranked?

** If it matters, I've played about 1000 games now, played ixdl-o a little before and played dota1 quite a bit...
