But kept the new champ select, so you can choose your roles and all that good stuff, would the community be okay with that?
If not, please explain below. This isn't facebook, instagram, twitter etc. This board is meant for discussion.
Take all of my Yes.
I absolutely dispise the very idea of Dynamic Queue and I called it, saying, Dynamic Queue will ruin ranked experience... on the day of Riot's first announcement.
*Ding*
I was right.
I personally would not be okay with this.
For the first few seasons of the game (started season 2, started ranking in 3) up until end of season 5 I was in high school. This meant I had a lot of time to play league and as a result I could play with my friends (normals, with 3-4 other people) and still have enough time to play ranked solo/duo when no one else was on.
As I have started going to university and working a part time job on the side I still play a lot of league but if dynamic que were not implemented then I probably would have to choose most games whether I wanted to play ranked and try to get to diamond or play with my friends. Playing with friends is simply more enjoyable than subjecting myself to 4 other strangers regarless of whether they are toxic or not. With the addition of Dynamic it means we can all take the game seriously and rank up at the same time (all around the same skill level, low to high plat) while focusing on improving. I have also met many of my friends just this season by adding them after a good game and then inviting them to play and slowly becoming friends with them making it more likely to have more people on for dynamic que.
Simply put, Dynamic que saves time and as one of the many millions of people who does not have that much to spare I welcome being able to play with friends and rank.
On the topic of ranking up in general and dynamic que ruining ranks integrity, I don't fully buy that. Ranked has NEVER been a good estimate of your skill at the game. For most of Leagues lifespan ranked has been a good estimate of how well you can carry a game. Sure individual skill should matter but it is a team game and the ability to cooperate and coordinate with team mates has arguably always been more important (expect back in season 2 where you could become so strong you could 1v5 solo carry).
The differnce between me being plat 1 and most of my friends being plat 3 and lower is simply due to the fact that when we do sometimes play solo, I have learned how to carry and lead the team to victory by basically giving my team mates a step by step guide to taking objectives and helping them win.
The problem of premades for solo is meh. I can't speak badly about it as in all of the ranked solo games this year I have yet to have a premade of 3-4 who were toxic or lost us the game because they were a premade. Usually they did their stuff and I helped or I told them what to do and they followed. I can see it being a problem though if the premade is inherently toxic and bashing the solo player but then there is the mute function.
Boosting is unfortunately easier than it was before but again people seem to forget how much time this game takes. Even if you have a team of 4 other fakers with you it is going to be hard to carry people past gold and even then they certainly aren't getting past plat. Still It is a problem with bronze and silvers ending up in gold but taking away dynamic que due to it is not the only solution. If you got a cut on your hand and it gets infected you don't resort to cutting off your hand just to get rid of the infection, you take some antibiotics and clean the wound until it heals.
TL;DR
Dynamic que saves me and many others time and ranked has never been about solo skill anyways/killing dynamic que is not a viable solution to the problems we are currently facing.
honestly, can someone please explain to me what is the huge difference between the two queues? I mean dynamic queue doesn't truly reflect your actual skill because you can just keep playing as 5 with perfect communication and team work. But what about solo queue? I played a lot of solo queue and anyone who plays solo will know that all it takes is for 1 person to not know what they are doing and it will always result in a 4v5 or 3v5, it is just a probability of who gets the largest feeder on the team. So what is the difference between the two queues or did I miss something?
I probably wouldn't play ranked anymore as I only play it with friends and I never cared for the solo Q style of league (it's very different from competitive or ranked 5v5)
After awhile they'd probably have to make everyone pick support as a mandatory 3rd role if they didn't pick it, after a few months everyone would be trying to game the system
As much as I hate the usual arguments of the dynamic queue defenders, I am sympathetic to the need for a queue with decent matchmaking that accommodates 3s and 4s (and let's be honest, old 5s ranked was a tire fire too).
That said, Riot could at least TRY to give us both dynamic queue and solo queue & work from there instead of forcing everyone into one option.
I am absolutely okay with the idea of Dynamic Queue as long as it is separate from solo queue.
I strongly feel that there needs to be better community discussion of the game at its current state.
Riot should be asking people every patch how they feel about all new patches a couple of weeks into the patch.
I assure you, a majority of the community does not even know that the forums exist, and linking people that are affected by the patch the most: The ranked community to a thread like this will not only enable Riot to make the game better for everyone.
It's time for Riot to decide what is best for their community.
Ignore the community, or work together with them to build a better game.
Five years ago I wanted to work for Riot in some way or shape, but now I don't know how I feel about the company that cared so much about individual players today.
They ignore the communities call for change.
Remember, it's not just Riots game, It's our game. Without the community the game is nothing. Share threads like this so everybody you know, and play with. Link them after every lobby pre and post game. Save the game before it dies.
im starting to get done with this game, there was a fucking reason that 5v5 teams and rewards existed if a bunch of premades wanted to play "riots logic competitive game" go play the 5v5 , why give people something that they dont want? I dont care about talking nice at this point because im tired of seeing you riot doing odd shit and just doing whatever the fuck it comes out of your mind. Its been 6 fucking years you should be able to release something perfect by this point. Pathetic and stupid.
Is there a "i don't care" vote...
