Possible ways to help with Dynamic Q
So we aren't getting Solo Q back.
Personally I don't mind, however a lot of players feel really strongly about this area. So if we are going to stick with Dynamic a priority needs to be placed on improving the system to help those players who aren't queuing up with friends. My current thoughts on that area are this.
-
Improve premade - solo matchmaking. Thats gonna come with time, but currently getting matched with premades a higher tier than you is not ok. The system is supposed to make sure they face HIGHER MMR to make up for the hep they get from increased teamwork. But again, I believe time will fix it.

Improve teamwork To me this is where the big changes can come. Because Riot's reasoning for Dynamic Q is to focus League into a more team focused game, and focus recognition in skill in that area rather than personal skill. Which hurts Solo players. However if we installed a Riot specific Voice Chat Client then it would help to bring premades and solos closer when playing together, and also help to bring Solo teams closer to premades in game because they would have equal opportunity to work together. (I think other Mobas do something similar?)
Personally I think the second is a great opportunity, especially with the Alpha out now. If we could have one specific Voice Client built into League then it would bring all the players together under one. Cementing League's newer team focus in ranked by providing solo players the opportunity to speak and coordinate as one.
Hoping to see a red comment on this or at least see the post because I think it would help close the gap a lot. Toxicity may be an issue but we have the report and mute options as always.
Let me hear your thoughts! Either on my idea or on your ideas, both are welcome.
