@Meddler, Question about Solo Que

SwiftKitten88··18 votes·666 views

During the initial release of league in late 2009

You choose to implement Solo/Duo Que for ranked games

You could make a team of 5 and fight other teams of 5 But for ranked you were only allowed to que with one other person; Or make a ranked team for a 5v5 match.

So i ask you Riot, why was this decision made? What are the reasons for this? And why in season 6 are all those reasons somehow "invalid".

You're never going to get an answer to this because any answer will just make riot's situation worse. Dynamic queue is a better idea if there are absolute fucktons of players, but it seems the numbers are too small to sustain it these days, resulting in 10 minute queue times and poor matchmaking. Reversing the DQ decision would be accepting that their game is declining, whereas leaving it in place and forcing it is optimism for it to grow. Because all declining video games start growing again when their creators alienate their players.

one simple answer... things change, values change, what you want today you might not want it 5 years from now. Decisions you do today, might look terrible a few years later even if they looked incredible today. Just because at one moment in time something was ok doesn't mean it will be ok in the future

Riot won't answer, because they don't want to admit they were wrong.

as you can see from the wiki this meddler guy has joined riot in late 2011, and as any new guy in a company he didnt have much influence. But you can see how over time the game became shitter, as people like him gained influence. You should praise the people that worked there before him and got fired and replaced by people like meddler instead of asking this idiot for reasons on why hes destroying the game. And as for the reason, its quite simple, hes just stupid and doesnt have common sense.

You know what, that was just a bit over the line. You can't be calling people stupid, that's just offensive man.

thats because I meant it to be offensive, I wont say nice things about the people that ruined a game I spent years on... I'll save the compliments for the ones that deserve it
