Please stop trying to force Riot to fix "mistakes" they have made

Before I start I would like to point out that I am fully aware this post is likely to be downvoted into oblivion, I am also aware that I am likely to get a lot of hate posts out of this.

However. I to, play the game. And even though I am new, I am still entitled to my own option.

The main topic right now on everyone's mind right now is Dynamic Que:

The main themes for controversy are: The lack of Solo Que, unbalanced games in ranked

I would like to point out that Riot is trying their hardest to fix the latter

Now about the lack of Solo Que... I am sorry but that just might be the nature of the beast. League of Legends is a TEAM based game, so by definition Riot as a company will favor a** TEAM** based Que more then a Que based around solo players.

As much as you don't think they care. Riot cares a lot about their community, and as much as you think Riot doesn't listen to your comments, they do. However, your comments are only a minor piece of the whole picture.And if they were to follow your advice to a T, they would never get anything productive done....

A side thought (since this is likely to be downvoted anyways):

As much as you think it is a good comparison, PLEASE stop comparing League of Legends to MMOs (mainly Runescape), because they are nothing alike.

Do I believe the game is perfect? no

Do I think it will ever be? Nope

Why?

Well, unlike an MMO where I believe you just patch bugs once and a while, and possibly add a new item or quest from time to time with no major collateral impact on the overall game itself. From what I see from League of Legends however, even so much as a single change to anything can upset the balance of the game. I don't speck like I am some sort of coder, but all you need to do is look at things like the patch notes (which are not some tiny bug-fixes on one or two things, they are LONG lists.)

Best wishes to you Riot, And best intentions to all players.

That's where you're wrong. If Riot cared about the community, they'd have implemented solo-queue alongside DQ, like Lyte (who DID care about the community) said they would. Instead, like any other normal company, Riot only cares about profit. Their data concluded that people that play the game with friends are less likely to quit (and therefore more likely to keep giving Riot money). Like any other normal company, Riot then worked off the data and changed their current product to increase long term profitability. What the playerbase wants had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Why do people think 4 people + 1 solo queuer is a functional team?
