The End Of League Of Legends

I found this on reddit this morning, and thought it was interesting.

"WHY NOT HAVE TWO SEPARATE QUEUE'S/RANKS?! OG QUEUE AkA Solo/Duo Queue and Dynamic Queue. "

"I think this is a lot bigger deal than anyone really realizes. The majority of the players in this community are experiencing exactly what you are, and most likely don't speak up because..they just assume rito will do nothing about it, which they're most likely right. The only way rito is going to ever listen is if the online percentage of the game changes at a decline...your opinion matters not...as long as you will put up with it...and keep playing their game....they will do whatever they want to you. After 200++ LP lost due to the learning curve of non- intuitive system..and WAY more time spent in queue, than actually playing a game. There is no logic used with this change...any vet gamer could of told you this was going to be a sh*t show... this move is going to hurt the numbers that play this game, which makes me super sad...not just for the players..but the pros..every awesome person that makes a living off this game. The dream. This was the main game and only game I have played for a long while, until this change, I have actually lost hope in its future and downloaded a few new games today. Let's hope their leadership listens to the pros and not just some ugly cardigan sweater buffoonz. So you can count me as a -1 to your online percentage...I am sure I will not be the only one. Disclaimer I know that there will be plenty of people that enjoy this change, but there will be such an overwhelming greater percentage that don't like the change..and you will simply just see those people fade away...because they most likely wont come on the forums, but will just move on. Even the ones that love the system...will be sad to see so many leave..... Reasons I think the new Matchmaking system in League Of Legends sucks. If you're in lower elo's, with the you will face extremely long que times due to the overwhelming unintutive nature of this new system, there has been mass amounts of dodges. Either they don't ban or "Lock" in their character after they have "selected". For people that have played thousands and thousands of games, this habit will most definitly die hard for some, and at what cost? Mass amounts of LP lost for nothing and sitting in 1-2 hour que times.

I personally had two games today with 20-30 dodges before the game finally started. With the new system dodges and the normal troll dodges, I sat in que for over 90 minutes more than once today. 2. It seems that the new system is completely geared towards high elos, socialy stimulated people, in general. If you're that anti social, "Lone Wolf" type, and you're brave enough to solo Q in higher ELO, say goodbye to that LP!!! Matches are now filled with PUGS VS PREMADE heavily stacked teams,that are all in voice, whilest you are stuck with the shen that rage quits 5 minutes, because "our crappy jungle doesn't gank". So why would you solo Q? ....You won't, makes absolutely no sense to do so...be social....get a ranked team together or don't play league. GGWP SoloQ.

  1. Rito has casted some pixel magic fairy dust spell on all of us, with their ....oh so fancy new matchmaking cosmetics...making us forget about reason number 2 completely...there is alot of vet gamers in this community and they have all seen what PREMADES do to PUGS. Does this not feel like thee age old honor grinding pub stomp groups? WoW is back...in MOBA form. Not to mention that the matchmaking screen eats up nearly 5x more computer resources to run, with its quadratic algorithms, blinding us with their sparkly pixel magic of forgetting. It's no wonder why the client crash count on champion select is off the charts. RIP anyone to all those poor souls that play this game on potatoes. Everything about the new look...reminds me of hearthstone. For some reason.... ew...ew...ew...just ew. Sure, it's pretty.. But this game prevailed through great game mechanics and not system heavy flashy pixel crack. Rito.…you’ve actually gone in the other direction of visual clarity on this pink madness) (Pulsefire Ezreal, for example. There are a few others...that you can tell had a real artist behind them...whilest most are just a joke....how overwhelming easy the changes must of been to use the exact same code and just change green variable values to pink.....so much fail skins....with so few awesomez. If you are going to do pixel crack...do it right. Why not spend some of that time and effort into balancing the game beyond the keystones? A great majority of the champions are worthless and mediocre, at very best. I get that you're trying and I've watched the ALL CHAT videos....Why not get the pros involved again with the game balancing? After all, it is how you were able to create such a beautiful game in the first place. RIP all ignored champions....that will never be viable in time for the start of Season 6.

Rito, please try and convince us that you are not just all about the money…..with changes that actually make some logical sense. End of rant....for now.... Rant Disclaimer: I paid little to no attention to my grammar in this rant...as most of it was done with furiously intense key strokes….. All grammar Nazi’s may check their bag o flames at the door..

would love to hear what your thoughts and opinions are…"

It's not the end of League of Legends, but I do agree with you: players should have the possibility to be tested and valued for their own set of skills, which also includes the ability to team up with 4 complete strangers and cooperate with them in order to win the game. The new dynamic queue removes the last part and it's a pity. Personally, I won't lose anything because I don't play ranked (I enjoy messing around with friends much more than trying to win at all costs), but I'm sorry for the players like you.

Saw it posted yesterday.

I am thinking of quitting League, if or until they remove this Forced Team Queue. What was the point of queuing organized 5-man teams against 1-1-1-1-1 opponents? seriously... what was the point? to screw over everyone except the upper-most organized teams?

Why? I'm Diamond and ranked is practically unplayable for me, every other match I am set up against 3-man or worse, a 5-man premade which is almost always a stomp. Forced Team Queue is the absolute worst thing Riot has ever done to their game. Worst decision bar none.

There is still classic queue, it just isn't draft pick. I honestly really enjoy the new dynamic queue system. I played primarily Team Builder, in mid and jungle, and honestly, my average queue time doing normal draft which the dynamic queue has dropped from 3-5 minutes to under 1 minute, and I still get to play one of the two roles I want and we can come up with combos in queue, like Kalista + Alistar bot, Yasuo mid, Malphite top, and Nunu jungle, with the sole purpose of knocking the enemy up as much as possible and keeping them locked into the Nunu's ultimate while he channels, unable to stop him and unable to escape. Now, I haven't done this, but I really want to. Whereas with Team Builder, if you were going to do something like this, you needed a 5-man premade. Now I don't like the idea of people being able to take a 5-man premade into Ranked. They can set it up so that they beat out the soloqueuers too easily, and especially in lower ELOs, you run into some huge problems because people can't pick to counter the comp the enemy team of premades is making. They can recognize a premade, but they don't have the know-how or the champion pool to stop it, and thus must simply bend over and ask them to be gentle. I do feel like the original queues should exist alongside the dynamic queues for people who prefer the original, but I personally like the dynamic queue a lot better.

I thought I would hate this new system. However, I am 8-0 since the new change and almost always getting my best champion in my best role to help out my squad.
