And Solo Q is the cure.
It's everywhere. I took a hiatus for like a month, then came back to run into 3 games in a row of premades of at least three people. Super un fun, campy style of play. I will watch junglers fall behind in CS considerably, to camp their premade. I am not religious, but I pray that season 7 will be when Riot wakes up and realizes what kind of mistake they made, because until they prove they aren't losing players, they are losing players.

Simpumba6 votesHonestly, I'm on the verge of quitting LoL, and I've played for 4 years. The fact they had the balls to tell us at the start of the season that they were gonna release soloq, and now 5 months later they basically said "Our bad, but F*** all you soloq players, also have fun with our new hextech system!"
It's really a slap in the face, I'm not sure what to do anymore. Dynamic Q has not held my rank back, but there's so many people currently who don't belong in their elo. (Last game I had a 4/9 nasus, 3/9 kha, and 3/13 draven, they were all duo) It wouldn't bother me as much If i could actually see who's qued together other than seeing a clan tag.
Please riot, fix your game. I don't want to leave, but if you continue to ignore our requests I'll look for a different company that will actually respect their customer.

This^. DQ hasn't held my rank back either, I just don't like it for dozens of reasons already stated by others and won't be playing any more of it while it stays how it is. And no, this doesn't mean I think I'm anything special, it's the only action I can (not) take.
Dataless5 votesI'm in the other camp, I don't think solo queue will fix anything whatsoever.
Downvote me all you like I, I'm sticking to my guns.
Best Valor NA6 votesHow wouldn't solo queue fix anything? Right now playing as a solo player is hell, they're almost always grouped with queue's of 4 or 3 that can abuse them and treat them like garbage and all report the solo player.
If everyone was just in SoloQ there would be much less boosting, toxicity, faster queue times(probably), and more balanced teams.

Except there really wouldn't. I play ranked Solo in low Plat and my experience is not hell, it's exactly the same as it was last year when solo queue existed. I win games, I lose games, and sometimes I get utterly stomped, it's the same as it's always been. I have never once in over 100 ranked games been abused by a premade team, the only instance of intentional abuse I can think of this entire year was during a normal game where the J4/Darius bot lane intentionally stole my jungle EXP at level 1 and flamed me, and that's a normal (and a SINGLE incident) so I don't give a shit about it. Heck I even got a notification when my report on both of them led to punishment by the system.
Elo boosting has always existed, and will continue to exist. The main reason queue times in lower Elo's have gone up is because of all the quitters (this is a guess and I honestly could be wrong), and saying there would be less toxicity is an outright lie. League has a toxic community, it was worse before when people had to fight over roles, now at least there is some semblance of democracy and balance in team comps. Sometimes it doesn't work out but in the vast majority of my games players are getting there preferred roles or are willing to trade with someone without the "mad grab" of yesteryear.
Dynamic queue is not a perfect system, but I have no real issues with it. If solo queue were to magically reappear overnight it would make no difference to me, but in it's absence the game is still playable and is not the flaming heap of garbage the vocal minority are making it out to be. I understand that everyone has a different experience and perspective, but this is mine. I like dynamic queue just fine.

My every game.
** Every. Single. Fucking. Game.**
Lycanoon1 votesMy first ranked was uber toxic... a pre of 3...and I was support. Banned my champ, and demanded i go with Taric...NO!
So I trolled these pre's and picked Quinn as a support. Of Course, we lost and I could care less. 2 golds 1 silver...yea, no. Their JG kept feeding, their mid just danced, and top was getting wrecked...kept falling for baiters.
Alüe2 votesThey won't listen, only when they are losing money out of there ass will panic start to occur. Only after losing more than 60-75% of there original player base they will turn to the players.
macromite1 votesIT seems like a sickness, but what it is is chemo from the cancer that is solo queue.
SlaktarTasken1 votesWhy can't we just eat the pie and keep it?
Remove 4's. If you are 4 people surely you can somehow gather 1 more or simply split your group if that's not possible, it wouldn't kill you, believe it or not. The removal of 4's would also mean more people are splitting down into 2's, 3's or maxing out into 5's groups = better Q times.
2+3 = regular DQ 1's = Solo DQ 5's = Full stack DQ
I believe Hots/Dota are doing something like this and it works for them, with shorter Q'times, why wouldn't it work for League that is considerably larger? Honestly, I don't like directly bashing Riot but at this point it seems like pure arrogance or lazyness to not learn from the mistakes that others have made. No need to split the DQ, just section it. Problem solved.
My 3 cents.
