Dinamic Queue is a Normal Draft game with a placebo score at the end.

So, according to Lyte, some people didn't play Ranked because they wanted to play with friends.

But what's the difference between Ranked and Normal Draft? They are exactly the same, there is only one difference: at the end of the game you are given a Score of YOUR performance. That's it.

And here comes Dinamic Queue. Now you can play with your friends like a 3, 4 or 5 premade just like you did in Normal Draft. And at the end of game you are given a score. The problem is, that score is now meaningless because it represents the performance of your premade, not yours. Two players can be Gold V but one plays solo and the other plays always with his 3 or 4 friends, yet they have the same rank when it does represent different things.

Dinamic Queue turned Ranked into a Normal game with a placebo score at the end, so that people that didn't play ranked can feel like they are achieving something when they are not because that rank is meaningless. And the people that really want to compete are screwed without a real Ranked mode.

because the player in a premade has less influence over the game than a solo? They were a part of the winning team so they deserve the win just as much as anyone else.

Scenario 1: 3 friends and I play Dinamic Queue always together. After 50 games we are Gold V. The three of us are exactly Gold V with the same LP.

Scenario 2: My friends and I play Solo Queue. After 50 games they are Gold I, Gold III, Gold V and i'm Silver IV.

So, Dinamic Queue doesnt represent your performance but your premade performance, thats why is meaningless.

League is not a 1v1 game, why would your individual performance be a better measure of your skill at a team game than your ability to work well with a team?

EDIT: down voting me if you disagree is fine by me, but please respond. I really would like answers to this point.

Solo Queue measures your skill and ability to work well with a team. As you said League is not a 1v1 game, if you can't work well with a team, your chance to win games is lower. If you play enough games Solo the system can determine your own skill because you are the only common factor in your games.

If you always premade with your friends, you and your 3 friends are the common factor, so you can't differentiate the skill of each one. Comparing the rank of a solo player with the rank of an always premade player is like comparing apples and oranges. Thats why rank is meaningless.

Solo Queue measures your skill and ability to work well with a team.

The solo queue environment never measured your ability to work with a team. It measured your ability to get fed out of your mind and carry a game through kills instead of organized objective control. That's why the classes that do the most damage are called carries, because we have all been trained to believe that the person who does the most damage and gets the most kills is the one who is carrying their teammates, which is a selfish view on the game. Dynamic queue emphasizes teamwork and communication which is a positive thing.

Well, I'm done talking to you. I guess you want to get carried by your other 4 friends you play with everygame. Enjoy thinking you are good in DynamicQ. And buy a lot of skins so rito is happy.

I don't think you know how debates work.

He's pointed out truths and facts and you're still stuck on the 1v1 me bro mentality. As if individual skill matters in the high elo's as much as team coordination.

By the way, Gold 5-1 is not High elo so when someone is really good mechanically, yeah they can "carry" their team . But once you get to Plat+ it'll be as if you're 4v5 and you will lose most if not all of the games, thus getting demoted.

I'm just willing to work with a team because i understand social interactions in a multiplayer strategy game. Go play a different game if you don't want to.

Don't be a jerk like that. You wonder why EUW isn't taken seriously on these boards, this is why. We haven't even been able to try out the queue and you're already shit talking it ffs.

this just in, master ranked players that queue as 5 gain a whopping 1 LP per game and lose 10+. seems totally reasonable to me.

Battlecast Sona3 votes

for those who can't see the point through the fog of extreme sarcasm, it seems obvious to me that Riot has implemented LP gating to prevent you from just queueing as 5 and blowing through everyone. Since you gain less LP than you lose, it becomes important to win all your games so as to not lose (since losing in this particular scenario means needing to win 11 games to make it up).

Don't worry.

The king of the universe, the one and only who knows what everybody thinks, PhD in psychology and the rule of player behavior team aka "Lyte" doesn't give a damn.

Exactly. Also, you rank doesn't mean as much since you can spam something like Tryn top and climb without having the typical skill level of someone in that rank.

Dynamic Queue is cancer

Ranked no longer holds any meaning to me, why would I bother with Ranked when I could just play normals.
