Queue times are too high!

Riot acts like they don't know why. XD Oh idk, maybe with all these groups running around, no one wants to play support with a random ADC? Unless people are grouped for bottom, no one is going to be inclined to play support. I personally don't want to play hit a miss with a role that is effectively unable to carry at plat and up ELO. Especially since I have to lane with the most toxic player bases (apart from mid-lane assassin players) it just doesn't sound fun to me.

It's like if I could only play Yorick, no matter which match-up. I could go decent far, but I would never get to diamond due to Yorick's generally weak kit and weak team-fight potential. (Which is a top lane's specialty.)

Either give us Solo Q back, throw another band-aid onto Dynamic Q, or actually do something about the support role in general.

P.S. Making it easier to be banned/punished while playing ADC (for verbal abuse) might be a good change eh? If they won't respect supports naturally, looks like we have to force them.

GordanRamseyGaming actually has (or had) a Yorick-only account in Diamond.

they're waiting until after summer to make their decision once and for all that dynamic queue was responsible for the sharp decline in number of ranked games played this season, vs last season.

when in reality they're waiting for summer because they're hoping it will buffer their numbers when all the little kids start spamming games non stop regardless.

but myself personally, soloq player protesting by not playing dynamic queue ranked, it simply has no business here on league and yes, im sure there are lots of other players boycotting as well.

when riot just simply needs to look at raw number of games played..... it is declining and they just wont admit it yet.

Noone realized Queue times were far too long. Thanks for telling. Also, uhh what? "Making it easier to be banned/punished while playing ADC (for verbal abuse). If they won't respect supports naturally, looks like we have to force them." Are you on drugs?

No, but I suspect about half of ADC mains are.

RIOT and anyone with common sense knows why. You touch on why but still blame RIOT and not who is ultimately responsible, which is the player base. There is nothing anyone can do about it unless people change. If you main support you get fast ques. It has been and probably will always be like that in any game where some kind of healer/support is required.

The community is a source of the problem, E.G. toxicity. But riot has only made the system worse than it was before. More premades which would make ganging up on people much easier and much more common. Furthermore, they've only butchered supports via items, masteries, and xp more so than last season. It's a culmination of bad decisions one after the other without back tracking and actually thinking about what they're doing. I don't want or need an incentive to play support, as that's completely unnecessary. What I DO want is not to be penalized because I'm incredibly reliant on a toxic little child. (Ever heard of supports being the ADC' babysitter? That's about right atm.)

Not one word in your response has anything to do with the topic. I gave you the answer and you don't like it but it's the truth in any online game. If you want faster ques then main support because that is "THE ONLY" way you will get faster ques. There is nothing that anyone can do about it and I don't see any solutions from you because there is no solution.

The simple reason boils down to one concept and that is supply and demand. If you understand that then you understand why ques are so long. It won't change sorry to say.
