Your daily reminder that Riot is lying to you repeatedly and Solo Queue will NEVER return

January 19th, Riot Lyte said "a few weeks after the season start" (https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/41njpt/the_2016_ranked_season_updates_on_dynamic_ranked/) February 4th, Riot Lyte updates it to "a month or two" (https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/443wxg/riot_lytes_update_on_solo_queue/) March 3rd, a Tweet from @RiotSupport said it was "a month and a half" away (https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/48ydr1/solo_queue_confirmed_notscrapped_supposedly_1_12/) March 22nd from Riot Socrates, it became "...we're concerned about the impact solo queue will have on matchmaking as a whole, and we’re assessing how to best proceed. Once we've fixed match times and position selection, we’ll have a better update on other queues." (https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/4bil21/new_champ_select_update/) And in a reply to that March 22nd post Riot Socrates confirmed (emphasis mine): "We'll be honest: there's definitely a world in which solo queue doesn't return, but we'd rather keep it on the table as we work through these issues before making a final decision." (http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/riot-official/6WuZKauE-new-champ-select-update?comment=0037)

Yesterday, Riot Korea held a "Bush Talk" on Youtube. Riot Korea Runetera has confirmed that solo queue is on hold for now. (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.)

Hope you can learn to like Dynamic Queue because it's all you're going to get. But don't worry. URF is coming! Play URF. Enjoy URF. Do not pay attention to Solo Queue being scrapped completely.

"We're not trying to dodge the subject" - Riot "lyingsonofabitch" Socrates.

We don't want people to see how dynamic Q failed when everyone move to soloq when it comes out

Although I have no interest in solo queue because I hated playing with randoms (and still do), I still think the people that do want it back should get an answer to their prayers, as they are just as important as ranked team players.

Dude...

Players are tired of this. They've noticed anything they do or say has no meaning because Riot can live without 1.000 or 10.000 "soloQ fighters" that come to forum.

You wanna know why DynamicQ gone trough?

  1. Too huge of playerbase. Try to coordinate few millions of players.. It'll never work.
  2. Misinformation. It will come, might come, won't come. Bullshit polls etc.
  3. Lacks of information routes. So what if you and 100 players before you wrote beautifull essays about DynamicQ being bullshit, if 10.000.000 have never ever knew there were some boards to read your work.

Riot "won" on the very first day of DynamicQ introduction and you or other "SoloQ fighters" are fighting lost cause.

I myself do not play ranked because ranked is simply the worst hoarse shit ever made. Toxic, unfriendly, tense. From my PoV players skill matter little in ranked, while luck, freelo champions and carrying players are by far more important.
