Riot, Give the community what it desperately wants and release solo que
Riot, i think it's clear to see given the distress on the boards and the league sub reddit that the community, your customers, want solo que so just release it already. You've promised us that you would deliver solo que weeks after the start of season 6, and that date has been extended for months up untill recently when Riot Socrates said " there's definitely a world in which solo queue doesn't return" which has sparked anger and distrust in a very large part of the community, myself included. However I'm not going to rage at you and say that " DYNAMIC QUE SUCKS WE RIOT!" ( no pun intended) instead, I'm trying to be as polite as possibly when i say that you should release solo que, if for no other reason than to satisfy your customer base. The delay was understandable as Dynamic Que and the new champ select had a lot of bugs at first, so you guys pushed back the date for solo que until you could better improve matchmaking w/ the new champ select as a whole, ok whatever that's fine, but the time has come to make good on your promise of giving us the pure solo que that we've craved for many years.
There are legitimate concerns about splitting up the player base and making one que die as migration starts to happen and the longer que times as a result, that's understandable, but it's better rip off the band aid now and let the community choose which que we prefer rather than delaying solo que's release further and causing this continued buildup of rage and distrust among the community in regards to your company and its fidelity. We handled longer que times and bugs when Dynamic Que was released (which there was little to no demand for as 5v5 ranked and Duo Que's were already a thing) so i think we can stomach a week or two of similar problems with the release of solo que seeing as both the professional and more casual (bronze-diamond) communities have been clamoring for it. Bottom line is that the lack of solo que threatens both the competitive integrity of the game/ a Summoner's ability to rank themselves among others competitively and accurately (DQ and Solo Que ratings are two very different things, which you pointed out in your announcement posts for season 6) While also undermining the community's faith in you as a company to listen to our needs and meet them. I understand the community is not always right (see balance changes) but please, just this once, take what the community is saying to heart and release Solo que with as many bugs may come for however many weeks it may take to fix them, because any amount of que timers and temporary frustration at the inadequacy of solo que matchmaking is better than a permanent, palpable sense of distrust within your community among some of your most loyal supporters.
Sincerely, a lurker who's been playing for years and deeply cares about the future of league, competitively AND Socially.
