Dynamic Queue Struggles

It has been a few months since Riot implemented Dynamic Queue in both Ranked and Normal Draft, and I believe I've played enough games in both to understand the pros and cons of Dynamic Queue. However I feel that the cons out weigh the pros with the addition of Clubs in this patch. Now I may be a lowly bronze player in your eyes, but I have seen the rise and fall of champions, I have seen games won with the ballsiest of plays, I have been around since season 3 and rightly believe I know enough to be seen as an equal to a gold or silver. Now being able to group up with friends for queues to bee a great thing, it allows for better synergy, communication, etc. but it is not a fair representation of how good you are as a solo player. Solo queue used to be a test of your personal skills and how well you can coordinate with people you can't easily communicate with with the maximum of 1 friend who you can communicate with, but dynamic queue throws that ideology out the window and force feeds you the "playing with more friends is more fun!" Don't get me wrong I like the fact that i can queue up with my friends and play ranked with them, but that is what ranked 5v5 and 3v3 is for, having the maximum number of friends increased to 5 in solo queue breaks the game and spirit of solo queue. I find myself having a hard time carrying against a team of 3 grouped and 2 solos, it feels like I'm being forced to play with friends just to rank up. Now I don't expect you to agree with me, nor do I expect you to look at me on equal ground, but all I ask is for intellectual input (cough redditors cough) and to be polite toward me and the issues I present to you. Also I wouldn't mind a Rioter to discuss this further with me.

I'm sorry your still in bronze, but there are ways to escape any league, In regards though to the new dynamic que, its a life saver for those who wish to truly climb in a team environment, and not be restricted with the limited member of a team, where as you have your pool of friends list that you can que up with anytime. In regards to solo que being a test of your personal skills in the olden days, i disagree, In soloque you will always have someone who is negative, who doesn't group, who doesn't follow pings, or calls, or constantly feeds or trolls, the dynamic que prevents these things because you can create your own group based on your own preference of what type of players you want on your team and who you know you can count on, this new dynamic que utilizes true teamwork vs solo queuing by yourself.

All i recommend to you mate if you wanna truly climb and get out of bronze, if find your role and stick to your select few champions, you can even do that in solo que, Dynamic que though you can climb 1-2 divisions in one day if you really wanted to and had a great team to count on.
