This is why I am quitting League of Legends; Every match is either with, or against premades

I am using another account right now, but this season has had my worst performance of all, by a significant margin.... and for awhile I thought maybe I was just playing poorly, but after EVERY SINGLE BAD GAME I HAVE, I notice the following; http://imgur.com/I78D05R

I don't even care about winning or losing anymore. Pay attention Riot;

  • I don't want to play on a pre-made team.
  • I don't want to play against a pre-made team.
  • I don't care about "meeting four (or more) other players and forming my own squads".
  • I don't care about other people doing that if they want.
  • I JUST WANT TO PLAY AGAINST OTHER SOLO QUEUERS LIKE I USED TO FOR FIVE FUCKING YEARS

What's so hard to understand about that? I can't even play League of Legends at any level because this is a constant, this is literally every game regardless of what bracket I am in... I am either with a premade or against a premade and on the RARE times that I am not, it's a great match... why remove that? why force the worst of the game on me? It absolutely ruined the game for me, every single match I am with or against pre-mades. Why was this necessary? the game was perfectly fine the way it is.

Now you tell me that I am not welcome? Now you tell me that solo queue was a complete lie? Well, pardon me but fuck you too.

If you told me a year ago that I'd be quitting League of Legends, I'd have called you a liar, but you have completely destroyed every single thing I enjoyed about this game, little by little chipping away at everything I adored until I can stand it no more. Thank you for all the good times but I am out. You have betrayed me twice in a row and that I do not forgive, gg.

True Solo Queue or bust.

Get to diamond 5 where they are going to start limiting it to 1, 2 or 3 man ranked.

"we’ll limit the roughly top 1% of MMR (Diamond 5 or higher) to solo, duos, or trios"

Did any moba ever actually have a strict solo Q? Most usually allowed at least duos and DotA just separated your mmrs, meaning that when U queued for ranked in DotA 2, you can still be put with premades, it's just that they're using their party mmr while you use your solo mmr.

dota 2 has a balanced dynamic queue because it has 2 ladders: solo and party mmr, 4 man premade is forbidden and solo players play against or with dynamic group with a party mmr lower than the solo player's solo mmr.

No other thread describes the problem with Derp Queue as eloquently as this one.

Thumbs up.

[P.S. And for the record, I had all but quit the game because of the absolute shitshow that was s6 but this announcement puts the nail in the coffin for me. I've been playing Doom and Overwatch and having an absolute blast with both. Doom is some of the most fun single player (and surprisingly multiplayer) that I've played in a long time (while also being incredibly intense and legitimately hard on the harder difficulties) and Overwatch is incredibly polished and fun as well. There's no shortage of good games for me to play or catch up on from all the time spent playing League, that's for sure.]

It bugs me that the official announcement doesn't cover having to play with people who won't communicate with you and playing against 2, 3, and 4-mans, which can easily take over a game. Apparently the fact that it's unlikely for you to be meat a 5-man premade and not enjoy the next 20 minutes is perfectly fine, meanwhile over half of your team only speaks to blame literally every single problem in the universe on you.

Those are the most un-fun, miserable games I've experienced in league and now they're more common then ever.

Apparently I should be recruiting for my own team and then disbanding them once we climb too high. Brilliant. [zombie-brand-clap]

in retrospect I think we all knew that solo was never coming back

but after EVERY SINGLE BAD GAME I HAVE, I notice the following;

You noticed that you're in Bronze? Judging by the end game stats, a fairly normal Bronze game too, the kind that you would have gotten last year or the year before that.

Yes, I read that the first time. What's your point? Uncarryable games are regularly complained about Bronze, regardless of how good you individually may be.

if you move your mouse over his name, it shows his diamond banners from the last 3 seasons. He's smurfing in bronze. If a last season diamond cannot even carry bronze due to premades, what hope do you have?

I carried bronze and got out easily when I was sent there by my provisionals near the start of the season. And I have never queued with anyone but my boyfriend, which was perfectly possible last season as well. I mostly play solo, and only played one game with him when I was briefly bronze.

So... sucks to be him I guess?

Sorry you're having so much trouble in bronze dude. But don't worry, you'll get the hang of it one day.

One match is not the same as "every match"

You seem to have plenty of matches in your history that lack large premades.

Read bolded to understand why your argument is bad.

I don't care if a premade is 3, 4 or 5, I just want solo queue back ,I just want to play with other people like me and NOT against organized teams.

I count 3 as a "large" premade.
