Give Solo Queue Players Incentive to play

Theorex··4 votes·347 views

When playing against a Premade 3+ Solo Queue (Only) should be given some type of compensation.

This may come in the form of Reduced LP Lose w/ Reduced MMR Lose.

Or Increase the LP gain and MMR gain.

Why?

Because as of right now; I have come to terms with the fact that riot has screwed over majority of the solo queue players.

I'm disgusted that Riot's turned the discussion of dynamic and solo queue into an either/or. If it stays as such, Riot's always going to piss some portion of their playerbase off.

It's like when Riot dragged their feet on the "call order" vs "pick order" issue: It didn't even matter that Riot eventually committed to the better option of the two, there will still be players disappointed with the role they get. We suggested Riot add a queue-for-lane solution at that time, but Riot said they "don't want to enforce the meta", so they stalled and had to create teambuilder before they finally got around to giving us role selection this season.

Until Riot admits they NEED to offer solo queue AND dynamic queue, it's going to be the exact same story with queues. Maybe if half of the effort they spent on excuses and worthless concessions (like the solo border) was instead spent on making dynamic queue attractive to solo players, then Riot could give us both a true solo queue and a dynamic queue.

You can't have one and another, its a paradox. If solo queue exist dynamic queue will not be functional. So to make one exist another has to be given. I am pretty much set on the idea of just unshaft the solo queue player, by having them lose less LP per game of lose. Ideally that should balance things out between the Solo Queuer and the Dynamic Queue Boosted Animals.

There's no reason you can't have both.

If you're going to create a system that screws over solo players, it shouldn't be surprising that solos would choose the alternative. What Riot needs to do is give solo players a reason to play dynamic (AND THIS ISN'T IMPOSSIBLE). Instead, Riot's been giving those incentives to the people who are already eager to play dynamic queue - the premades.
