Last season we complained about our solo ranks being determined by 4 other people

Last season champ select was one of the most toxic places in ranked, the horrific "mid or feed" meta was disgusting and ruined the ranked experience for many people including myself. There was this divide between pick order and calling positions that led to many instalocks and trolling. People complained about the matchmaking algorithms giving them awful teammates every single game.

This season we complain about peoples' ranks being determined by who they queue with. We complain about good players grouping up with other good players to get to the ranks they deserve to be at. There is no "mid or feed" meta seeing as people queue up for the positions that they want (except for that hundredth of a % auto fill). If there is any instalock issues then they are very isolated and not that much of a problem. People seem to complain about getting stomped by premades every single time they lose.

Last season afking was a HUGE problem. I remember going 11 games in a row with an afk on my team when I was in Silver 1, it made me want to quit the game because of all the flaming in champ select, along with the afks and trolling due to not getting the positions they wanted.

This season we have /remake. out of the ~800 games I've played this season I've only played 20 games with an afk on my team. I think that this decrease in afks can be attributed to the fact there is very little dispute over positions this season.

Issues will exist with ranked regardless. I think it would be more productive to talk about other things like rework ideas and other stuff that might make that game better, as opposed to complaining about dynamic queue and getting nothing done.

Can't wait for this post to either get disliked into oblivion or completely ignored because the gameplay boards has become the "dynamic queue hate train" boards.

mid or feed / pick order has nothing to do with solo / dynamic queue.

DQ = you can play ranked with as many friends as you want (now limited to 3 in diamond + ) SQ = you can play ranked with at most one friend

Choosing your position is the new champion select, not the new queue; just like its previous - not as successful - iteration, Team Builder. Has nothing to do with how many people play ranked with you.

That said DQ brings problems mainly to high elos. A lot of people complained about soloQ just like a lot of people complain about dynamicQ. I personally don't mind the DQ itself, but there is ONE thing that I absolutely hate about the change and wish riot would gives us back:

Ranked Teams and 5's queue.

Came here to say this. No real reason why we shouldn't be able to soloQ with role preferences.

I've never had any complaint with the old system. It was fair and I always got to Jungle by saying "jungle only" and the team understood I couldn't play any other role and no one forced me.

This season i had a streak of 12 games in a row. It did make me quit ranked. I thought new champ select would have solved that problem but it has not. Nothing has changed, ranked queues are still a toxic shitfest. The only fix is for riot to grow a pair and actually punish players who occasionally troll, or re-visit the tribunal and bring it back. The community can detect trolling behavior more accurately than the automated system.
