Food for thought regarding Dynamic Queue

arcinex··4 votes·360 views

At the release of dynamic I was among the haters. However, after 3 months of playing dynamic queue I've come to learn that it's not so bad after all.

Riot indefinitely removed Ranked 5v5 and Ranked solo/duo q then combined the two queues together to create one queue and named it Dynamic queue. This new queue enables solo q players to play Ranked 5v5 and allows ranked teams to continue playing ranked together.'

What we think Riot is forgetting: -Solo q players who have no interest in Ranked 5's -Ranked 5's players who can no longer play with teammates above +/- 1 tier.

What we should keep in mind: -Riot wants League of Legends to be a team strategy game rather than two uncoordinated teams duking it out. -Ranked teams should contain players only of similar skill level. This is to ensure appropriate quality games.

What we are forgetting: We can play normal draft mode games if we want the solo queue-esque playstyle/experience. We are able to play normal draft mode games with teammates of greatly varying skill levels (greater than +/1 tier).

Pros of Dynamic Queue Ranked: -Consistent high quality games (Can you really ask for more?)

Cons of Dynamic Queue Ranked: -Feeders, afk's, toxicity, dc's (Nothing different from the previous solo/duo q) -Longer queue times (Previously this issue only affected Master/Challenger tier players for obvious reasons. Lower tier players now experience queue times varying between instant and 15 minutes upwards.

And why should I play DQ after solo q comes out? And why are games more "high quality"? Are you referring to the games that consists of premades?

This is actually wrong. There is no competitive integrity here.

Dynamic queue games are inherently compromised due to the fact that premades can and will be pitted against random PUGs. This is more evident the higher you go, and also gets more broken the higher you go.

Here is one of the most extreme situations that can happen with this current system:

People will stop complaining about dynamic que after solo que comes out, and they're still unable to climb. Right now, they just want to blame premades for their inability to get out of bronze.
