Why does everyone hate Dynamic Queue?

I realize I am in a very small percentage of players who actually enjoy Dynamic Queue, and honestly I don't get the hate.

I play mostly Top and Jungle now and most queue times for me are less than 3 minutes. Once a week I may have to wait over 5.

Yes, it sucks that you can't have support as a realistic secondary role, and I admit that this is a flaw in the system, but since I stopped playing Support regularly this isn't a huge bother.

I strongly prefer knowing that I will be playing one of two roles going into a game, instead of hoping I don't have to Mid (or insert your least favorite Lane).

I also like that the bans are spread between multiple players, and that (at least in my experience and elo, silver) priority picks and team comp awareness seem to be more frequent now instead of people just picking whoever they want to play regardless to contextual factors.

Anyways, it's increased my enjoyment of ranked significantly and I don't understand why most people dislike it.

it's not the roles...

dynamic queue matches solo players with 5 man premades

Its easier to jungle/play roles when you are coms with your buddies and the enemy team is all solo typing to each other. Its just too much of unfair coordination. It turns a game mode where your individual skill is ranked but now its basically who gets boosted and carried. Teams have too much influnece and people who truly wanna play solo que are screwed over and forced to be at the will of the pre mades.

I don't like playing with or against premade groups.

No one is hating on dynamic queue, they just prefer to play solo, with and against other solo players and have a ladder that isn't skewed by premade teams. I don't mind Dynamic queue and I hope it thrives, but why am I forced to play it when I enjoyed solo queue?

Edit: Also roles isn't dynamic queue that is the new champion select. Solo queue would have the new champion select along with it.

Mainly it's that people don't like getting matched with/against premades when they queue up by themselves.

It's the relative concept of skill, and it's relation to players.

At some level, people believe that solo play is worth more in determining a persons skill level then as a group. I question the viability of that, in a team game. There's some viability in solo players with higher mmr then premades, being matched against 5 man premades. There might be a duo silver, and 3 solo golds against a 5man of silvers. Apparently that's unfair, due to the advantages gained by voice comms. Such as the bonus runes or masteries, or gold generation they have - kappa -

In relation to the boards specifically, people just like complaining. A few posts below this is a B3 person complaining about his team, and implies that soloQ would give him better teams. It's the concept people think they'll climb higher without their teams "holding them back". Which can't be proved either way without soloQ.

Honestly, the divide is much smaller then you think. Using G5 & B as a base can lead to some pretty bad estimations.

I don't. I enjoy it. It finally fixes the imblanace that Ranked 5s was, since you could have a team of Bronze v Diamond back in that set up cause anyone could join a team and then it'd find the worst match ups. This way, you HAVE to be of similar rank levels in order to queue and fixes those issues.
