Dynamic Queue; Normals and Ranked

I really don't read the boards much nor do I comment often, but ranked feels like a shell of its former self. I watched the dynamic queue discussion with Scarra and I have to say dynamic queue for ranked is upsetting. I thought that solo queue was coming back, but after watching that video it most certainly is not. Dynamic queue was supposed to make ranked more fun and feel like a team game. But honestly every other game is just a smashfest with some smurf trio boosting their friend on his smurf. I never really had imagined that the system would be so frequently exploited but this really kills the game for me.

I wish that you would reconsider bringing back solo queue, not duo just solo. It felt like my efforts made in previous seasons were rewarded, now I feel like I roll the dice every new game hoping not to get smurfs in duo and trio from D5 or high plat etc some games feel like a waste of 25+ minutes making finishing games more of a chore and less of a pleasurable experience.

The learning curve has become less of a step function and more or less asymptotic, sometimes I actually ask myself why I play this game if I'm not having fun anymore. I actually introduced my girlfriend to the game and she had fun for a little but when she hit level 13 or 14, she was getting queued against a level 3 smurf queued with 2 people who were in gold. She has since refused to play when I explained why they were so good.

Tldr; I feel like you created a system to encourage casual players to play ranked, but in the end it was only to the benefit of hardcore players exploiting the system itself.

Although I learn a lot from the higher tier smurfs and players, it's a very frustrating 20+ minute game.
