Ranked 2015 vs 2016
Look, I get valid complaints about this season's ranked queing system for high mmr/ranked players. Longer queue times even compared to previous seasons long queue times, some mismatched games due to riot not being able to find valid matches in a reasonable time. So the complaint "Riot I'm in queue longer than in game and some games are not even our close to even matches" super valid complaint as last year's and previous years were better at these things. As for everyone else, my guess is mid plat/high gold and below. I am just failing to understand most of your complaints. Last year and season 4 and season 3 and season 2 etc. You had just as many posts about how randoms ruin your mmr and afk and troll your games. You screamed and cried about wanting to play with non trolls and afks and riot answered with the only logical way to stop randoms from ruining games, by letting you play with non-randoms. Since dispite what people think you can't punish the world into not trolling or afking or having bad games, I'm sorry it's impossible, if you could oppressive governments would have no crime.
If your argument is premades ruining your games, it's probably at a less rate than trolls last season. In fact my guess is a lot of the trolls in DQ as premades are caused by you guys saying DQ is a troll fest. You make the culture wether you know it or not. If you are complaining about the competitive nature of solo vs DQ. Sure it's potentially less about pure mechanical skill, probably not but potentially none the less. Out of all the people I know and streamers I watch though I don't see any plats, diamond, Masters etc stuck below where they were last year. If you are complaining about dynamic boost, sorry to burst your bubble but people were boosting in duo last year.
Posts such as the eliminate 4 person queues I think are valid constructive criticism. But having nostalgia for the previous systems when people complained just as much doesn't do anything. If you are complaining about them going back on there word since they said stuff on the forums, I'll give you a peice of advice. Never trust anything from any company unless it comes as an official statement by the company. IE patch notes, video, article on the main website or promoted on the client. Everything else is personal thoughts of employees most of which do not make decisions.
Sorry for your loss solo queue players, I know you don't like it but you need more than anecdotal evidence, group think is a strong force.
