Why I stopped having fun in ranked (a desire for solo que with the old system)

So I use to love ranked win or lose but quite honestly a few things have brought down the love for me.

1-Tri+ quers

lately you see more tri+ quers then you see duo quers and they quite honestly completely dictate how the game goes, it becomes a battle of who has the better communication of tri quers, your tri quers or the enemy teams. You think I am just a low elo brat complaining about this? Even famous high elo people who stream like RedMercy complain about it, with very similar points. All the members of cloud nine are very open in how they dislike it on their twitter pages. One of the USAs best historic teams literally dislikes Dynamic que as a concept. This should speak loudly. It's not just low elo people complaining, the high elo people hate it to. Bring back duo que please.

2-The que times The que times are absurdly long, this leads to me a number of things. A higher expectation in how the game should go, and bigger frustrations when things go wrong. Why? If I am waiting a long time to play a single game, it makes me desire victory even more. Sure this is a somewhat toxic mindset, but it is natural for any person, when you wait for something you want, the higher expectations are for said thing. This is why some video games and movies do bad in terms of reviews when the fans waited to long to receive it. They waited so long to the point year by year their expectations grew, only to be disappointed in the final result.

Frankly I am fine with dynamic que, I find it to be a better version of teambuilder. I however was very disappointed to find that it replaced the old system completely. For a number of reasons I vented about in old posts.

Honestly I am very sad riot will not be giving us solo q this season, and even if we do get it, it was released far to late.

BRING BACK SOLO QUEUE RIOT

and than sometimes it makes no sense, like in one ranked game i had today, NO ONE on my team was queing together, we were all solo, but than the game ends, and boom three people on the enemy team were in skype the entire team as they openly admit it.

We won for I literally put on my faker pants that game, but I kid you not that game was super hard from how organized they were vs us.

All riot want is to push groups since premade player > solo player for $$$, is easy math.

That's all, is time to "maximize the profits"

Ranking, esport, vision are just excuses. Dynamic queue is not a competitive system, is a glorified normal and that can't be fixed. (premades and massive range of mmr make any rating pointless) And they know this very well.

There is no reason for adulterating ranked gameplay.

Nothing stops friends from playing together, that's why we have normals. Groups of any size can go in and play together.

Nothing stops friends who are serious about League from forming up teams and practicing in team ranked.

Ranked was for people trying to learn/improve/measure their competitive skill. By definition it either needs to be a single queue, or formal team. This is why we have had the system we had for 6+ years. The discussion used to be the removal of duos from ranked, which would have been a good thing.

All this is doing is eating away at the more competitive/dedicated player-base, and encouraging MOBA players to find another game without all the poorly implemented social engineering attempts.
