Why would you ever want to solo queue by yourself? Duo queue adds to the same ELO rating for solo and it has more benefits. Firstly, your partner is unlikely to grief/troll. This alone reduces the chance of certain loss via griefers. Secondly, you might be able to communicate better e.g. friend is in same room/skype/etc. This would be a massive help for team fights or laning. Thirdly, if you were different levels in ELO, it would help your partner gain more ELO for a win while you would likely lose less ELO for a loss.
