I feel sorry for the Solo Queue players

I guess I'm lucky to be the percentage that Riot is trying to help. I am a dynamic queuer and yes sometimes i have a premade of 3-4. HOWEVER! Me and my friends treat that one solo player like a GOD. Before the whole solo queue isn't coming back issue started, we still treated that 1 or 2 players like they were Faker. I help the solo queuer more than i help my friends. When i jungle and if that guy ping for assistance, oh man i go up so quick just to help him out. Hopefully there are more premades out there like us ( hopefully there is) Yes sometimes we do troll and end up feeding but like everyone we have bad games :P. So if you are in the bronze-silver elo and you end up being in our premade by faith or by randomness. Make yourself at home.

I wish I got more premades like yours.

I usually get people who are talking about how drunk/high they are or they're smoking/drinking while they're playing.

It never ends well when the 4-man premade I get stuck with is literally a liability and I main as support...

oh my god i know the feeling. The drunk or high kids lol. One of my friends in my premade is also a support main and i hear him talk about how many stupid adc there are. Now I'm no pro adc but I'm not a stupid one either. When i adc and the solo queuer is the support... i risk my life and gold for my supports. Heres a story. This one time i was trolling and pick Urgot adc and i had a nami support. and how calm and nice she acted made me stop trolling and ended up sorta carrying the game. and heres a funny and sad part. It is so sad seeing a Nami running from a 4 man bank. and I'm not the type of person to just watch my support die i just can't its too sad to me. i ran into the 1v4 and healed the nami to make her run faster. Spoiler Alert: we both escape. she was soooo happy to be alive lol. sorry if i type too much. i just get really emotional about my solo queue supports Urgot Nami

I play almost exclusively solo Q, and I do quite well. As of late, I've changed a lot of my strategies for how I play, and I went from tanking the bottom of B5 all the way up to S5 as of today, that climb being done in the last 2 weeks or so. I rarely seem to know when I am with a premade or a duo when playing ranked. I can usually tell when playing against premade/ranked. But I don't really care how I am treated. I expect a lot of bad things to happen, and so I play pretty independent. If you see me in your Q, just expect me to work hard to secure that win, and I might even be the reason you got it. Rarely do I get thanked, but hearing, "Thanks for the carry Zyra," is always a happy thing for this solo Q-er.

Keep on being nice to your non-friends ;)

I shall keep being nice to the solo queuers. Keep carrying as Zyra :). At your rate you are gonna be Gold 5. You won't believe how many solo queuers out there that really makes my day by just being happy. Some of them even try to play with our party and i end up already friending them anyway.

Dude I hope so. I am super optimistic! I went from 20 losses to the end of Bronze 5 all the way up to Silver 5 in the last two weeks. I've had a huge change of attitude and strategy, and I am flying! So if I hit gold this season, I will be totes excites! I think it's cool you recognize the burden put on the solo-queue-r when dealing with a dynamic group, but as my post suggested, most of us don't realize it when it happens. Though when I do dynamic and it comes up, the solo guy gets mad. I've even had them bail the game. But I'd rather play solo with 4 coordinated than face 5 solo vs. 4 coordinated ;)
