We get it, you're not bringing solo queue back, you can admit it

But can we have an actual discussion about it? And not just how fucking fantastic dynamic queue is (lmfao). Can a rioter who actually has something to do with this decision to completely ditch solo queue please step forward and discuss this with us, the community who actually want to have solo queue as a part of this game?

I love how Socrates said that Riot's not trying to dodge the subject, but that's proven to simply not be the case. Come on out of your hidey holes and speak to us about this.

Speculation is running rampant. Wanna know why? Because nobody is talking to us about it, so we have to draw our own conclusions from the evidence being presented. I think actually speaking about this would go a long way to repairing community relations.

You can repair a great many things with honesty, however honestly telling a large portion of your player base that they lied to us to silence our voices is not a way to do that and they know it and thus will avoid it while cowering in their holes.

Promise we won't go into a complete riot if you just step out and explain, Rito :3

About a day ago, Riot Korea held a "Bush Talk" on youtube. Riot Korea Runetera has confirmed that solo queue is on hold for now. Youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivn02gibWQ8&feature=youtu.be&t=32m31s To translate what he had said: 5번째로 솔랭 출시여부 (5th question, in regards to solo queue release) 이거 일단 좀 괴로운데.. 거짓말쟁이가 되서 개인적으로 좀 슬픕니다만. (This is a very painful subject because I feel like I have lied to summoners so I am pretty sad about the situation) 2월말까지는 솔랭에대한 업데이트가있었습니다. 처음에는 몇주걸릴꺼다가, 3월말쯤에 말이 바뀌었습니다. (Up until end of February, we received updates about Solo queue - at first we were informed that it will take few weeks for Solo Queue to come out, however at the end of March, things have changed) 일단은 잠정 중단되는걸로 알고있고 그뒤 업데이트는 없습니다. (For now, Solo queue development/launch is on hold and we have not received any update in that matter.)

It wouldn't fix anything. The problem is that boards is just a community that will always be made up of a disproportionate number of angry players. The players who aren't angry don't come to boards as much. They are playing the game.

So, with any one issue, if Riot just listened to boards, the game would be destroyed, because all the people playing and having fun would be alienated.

When he said "I love how Socrates said" I thought he was gonna quote Socrates, the philosopher instead of the Rioter.

Totally forgot.

The problem is that you can't have an actual discussion about it on the boards, the only thing Riot could say that wouldn't be downvoted to oblivion is "Solo Queue is coming out right this moment".

At this point everything except releasing solo-Q is a lose situation for Riot.

Stay silent? Nothing changes.

Admit that it won't be released? Confirmation that they've being blatantly lying to the players.
