Riot come on even this post makes me more displeased with Dynamic Queue
"Dynamic queue undermines individual recognition of skill, and that’s not something we can solve with iterative improvements. It’s a philosophical difference."
"we believe that dynamic queue is closer to representing a healthy, competitive landscape in League of Legends than solo/duo queue"
Come on Riot a lot of people lived to get better at this game through solo recognition of skill, that is how a lot of people in challenger got recruited and scouted for early competitive play. If you think boosting, and premades of 4 is healthy for the competitive landscape of league you are utterly wrong personally. There is no point to ranked 5s when I can just play a premade with my friends in Dynamic queue and no reason for me to personally better myself when I may also have people in Diamond+ carrying my games. Not only is this unhealthy for the game but it promotes smurfs to master+challenger ranked making it worse for competitive teams to scout out new talent, and is also toxic at the 1-30 levels when new players have to play through those that may be diamond or higher.
It's not healthy for beginner gameplay or competitive it promotes boosting and your acknowledge of it's philosophical difference with what a lot of players like about this game is just mind boggling.
"two would split the ranked player base and have a significant impact on wait times."
And let's just be real Riot if you split into soloque/dynamic queue you know wait times would be longer because the playerbase would rather play in a less premade/boosting environment. And I personally would be fine sacrificing all of Dynamic queue to get back solo/duo queue, honestly a total revert would be fine for me until you understand how wrong the system is at a philosophical point when it comes to ranked.
