Dynamic Queue seems to match me with a lot of 4-man queues.

I've been looking at the Club Tags after games and I've been seeing a lot of 3/4-man groups in my games. I always play solo queue, but I feel like it's really unfair that I get matched up with a team that is way less coordinated and not on a voice chat versus a team that has the advantage of a strategy and voice communication. Especially when my team often seems like just a 3-man premade or two 2-man premades against the 4+ teams.

As well, I've found that the premade teams are almost always way more toxic than the other players I've been against. They're more likely to gloat in a win, or team up on someone in a loss.

It never feels like a fair game whether we have the premade, or if we're against a premade. It's also a lot less fun to play in those games.

Would it be possible to remove the option for 4-man groups in Dynamic queue? Just make it 1/2/3/5-man groups. That way you would be paired against all solo players, or if there are groups you could have a better balance.

I don't think it's fair to put a solo queued player in that position where they're more at risk of being harassed or put in games where they're not able to impact the game as much as the other team or their other teammates.

I hate the Dynamic QUe shit. The worst part is, half of the clubs you get grouped with refuses to communicate and refuses to acknowledge your pings.

I asked about solo queue at yesterday's Q+A

My best suggestion, stop playing for a while. Solo players are needed for the game and every law of economics suggests Riot won't be able to keep ignoring this solo-in-a-DQ problem forever. The system needs solo players, we are the plugs for the premade holes..no solo players = no 4-man premades.

I stopped 2 weeks ago, I play some other stuff or just doing something else with myself. It's not easy, but it only took me 3-4 days to break out of the routine completely. When Riot decides to do something about it, i'll consider coming back.

Solo players are getting matched with premade 4s far more often because so few solo players are playing ranked atm.

A lower pool of solo players means you're much more likely to be placed in the 4s that do occur.

The solo players that DON'T boycott ranked then experience the most frustrating aspects of DQ more often and many stop playing ranked, essentially joining the boycott, as a result.

In short: boycott working as intended.

Yeah, it sucks in the short-term, but in the long-run, it'll be much better having Solo Queue back. :)
