Dynamic Queue still making ranked play a joke.

I'm certain everyone on this site will disagree with me, but ranked just isn't fun to play anymore alone. If I'm playing with friends, I'd rather play normals for the lax environment, but having to assemble groups together for ranked makes the experience downright boring, and doesn't really test my skill.

I guess the only positive is for all the funny high elo youtubers to interact more with each other to make more videos to generate more money, but outside of that, ranked is just a joke right now. Why not just instill duo queue and ranked 5's again? Having to go into a game versus a 3-4 man premade doesn't test my skill in the slightest, and it's a real bummer because this is the season where I actually wanted to push to Diamond.

Is Riot going to remove or change this anytime soon, or is dynamic queue here to stay forever?

You clearly don't spend much time on the boards. There are about a dozen posts every single day of people talking about how much they hate Dynamic Queue, and how pre-mades have ruined League. There are 'daily reminder that we want solo-queue' posts, well, daily.

There are extremely in-depth analysis posts on why it's garbage coming out what feels like every other day. It seems like only 1/200 people actually like it.

Also, Riot has been completely ignoring all of this. People are calling them out directly everyday, and they stay silent. Riot stubbornly refuses to give the community what they want because it's not what THEY want.

If you agree with DuoQ, you agree with 80% of the matches you play in current DynQ. I'm currently collecting statistics on the composition of teams to back this claim with hard data, since Riot doesn't want to be transparent about it, but I'm already convinced that this whole "I play all my games with a 4-man premade who ruins my experience" is just a myth...

I think I have finally felt the pain. I just posted myself, about literally being bumped from Bronze 2 to 4 in a matter of weeks. Granted I'm new and have still been honing my skills, though I find myself a very competitive player....though I feel I've been matched with complete garbage as players. Dunno if its this dynamic play or something with matchmaking or its all the same. I'm addicted but losing interest fast

Not sure why people complain I haven't done any premades and I am in master. And if they do have a premade it doesn't mean they have godlike syngery.

Riot has never admitted failure in anything. They wont do it with DynQ either. 80% of the community hates it but they claim that "the playerbase asked for it". I havent touched ranked this season on my main acct. I tried it on one of my smurfs at the beginning and didnt like it. Personally i think that even IF Riot gets rid of it, it wont be until after the ranked season is over. They wont do it midseason. Nor will they give us a soloQ midseason. I also believe that Riot does whatever they think is best for us, whether we like it/want it or not. We clearly dont want dynQ but it doesnt matter cuz theyll claim it was a success (when it clearly isnt) and continue on with it next season. Sadly this sorry excuse for a ranked queue is what will continue to be shoved down our throats against our will lol

Dynamic q is fine, if you can't carry yourself to diamond you don't deserve it

I got from bronze 5 to challenger 5 in season 5, but now I'm either stuck in Que 3 or wood 7. Dynamic que killed my hopes and dreams.

100% agree with you. Riot wont even comment on the issue so dont count on them to bring back solo/duo Q or change dynamic Q.

Okay so, am I alone in this, or does this opening sentence sound really weird to me? Since when was ranked 'fun'?

Dynamic queue works for me because i only find other premades when I'm in a premade https://www.twitch.tv/mrrainbowpandaa
