Riot should just make a big survey about dynamicQ vs soloQ on their client upon connection

This way, everyone would take a survey and we would have a much larger opinion of whether people are ok with dynamicQ or not, on a large scale. Make the survey pop when you connect once, just as they did with the new mastery tree (thing that popped once then you're done) and it only consists in one question : What's your opinion about dynamicQ?

  • I like it and want it to stay
  • I don't care
  • I'm not fan but I don't mind
  • I dislike it and want the previous system or a new other system
  • I want it to coexist with other ranked modes

Once they got their results, they should act accordingly and if a majority of people dislike it, change it. Time to listen to their community, it's not even that hard.

They have done a survey like this recently. According to that data (this is rough numbers from the comment from the Rioter), over 70% of people either like it or really like it, 10% really don't care, ~7.5% don't like it, and ~7.5% really don't like it.

Here is the exact quote you're misquoting:

"We did surveys asking players "do you like the ability to queue with any number of people in ranked" and in most regions the majority of players (over 70%) said yes, they do. ~10% didn't care, another ~7.5% sort of didn't like it, and the rest (something like ~7.5%) of players REALLY didn't like it."

Here are some of the problems with this.

This survey is NOT asking whether or not people like Dynamic Queue, it's simply asking whether or not people like queuing with additional people in ranked. From the context I think it's safe to assume this survey data is from before Dynamic Queue was released, due to how vague the question is.

Another problem lies in the response options given by Cactopus. The response options are as follows:

  • I like it
  • I don't care
  • I sort of don't like it
  • I really don't like it

Do you see the problem here? There are two possible negative options and only one positive option that covers all possible positive opinions, plus it's missing a really important option. Here is what the response options should be:

  • I really like it
  • I somewhat like it
  • I don't care
  • I somewhat don't like it
  • I really don't like it
  • I like some aspects and don't like others

I'd love to see a current survey done now that people have been using Dynamic Queue for ~six months that asks the following questions:

  1. What is Dynamic Queue?
  • The system that allows any number of players to queue together in Ranked
  • The system that allows players to select roles before queuing up
  • Both A and B
  • Neither A nor B
  1. Do you play Ranked Draft or have any interest in doing so now or in the future?
  • Yes
  • No
  1. Do you feel that Dynamic Queue increases your enjoyment in Ranked Draft, as compared to other implementation possibilities?
  • I strongly agree
  • I somewhat agree
  • I don't feel strongly one way or the other
  • I somewhat disagree
  • I strongly disagree
  1. Do you feel that Dynamic Queue increases the competitiveness of Ranked Draft, as compared to other implementation possibilities?
  • I strongly agree
  • I somewhat agree
  • I don't feel strongly one way or the other
  • I somewhat disagree
  • I strongly disagree

If the player answers something other than A for question 1 or question 2, that person's response is discarded. This is to ensure that all responses calculated into the data are by players that know what they are giving feedback about and actually utilize the feature being surveyed.

Well, isn't the big issue with Dynamic Queue the fact that we can queue up with as many people as we want? I was pretty sure that was where most of the complaints were coming from.

It is, but the key is that the survey they did was before players were exposed to the system and its potential effects on the atmosphere.

Here's the thing, other than on the boards, how many people who play the game for fun actually know what Dynamic Queue is? It's easily confused for the new role selection, and the average player who isn't in super high ranked probably hasn't even noticed it.

True, it should be precised I'm not aiming at champion select and role selection but the pure premade format against what it was before (solo/duo/ranked 5's). For me, a solo/duo with the new champion select would not be dynamicQ in any way. And maybe that's why a lot of people seem to like dynamicQ in the surveys they had.
