Solo Q you say? Do not worry.

I Am Legxndary·6/3/2016, 7:53:51 PM·70 votes·2,742 views

Riot will have no choice but to reinstate Solo Q during Season 7 or 8.

Why? It's clear to all of us. They are about business. Everyone in business will tell you that doing something that you want is not the way to go, but to do something for the customers is the RIGHT way to go.

They're too cocky that DQ is good. It has been out for just half a year.

Give them a year or two and they will see the damage that it has caused (Right now, things are getting really messy and ugly). This isn't going to look good for their company. High ELO in League of Legends is absolutely garbage at this state. I don't even think players want to get to Diamond any more. I have a friend who stopped playing last week and told me he doesn't even wanna play ranked and get to Diamond 1 like he did last year. He knows games aren't even balanced sometimes in Plat even...

SoloQ will be back and Riot will have learned their lesson, as cocky as they are right now.

In the meantime...just watch and laugh at Riot for the next year or two trying to 'FIX' DQ. Players will leave and Riot will make another ROUND TABLE video to announce that Solo Q will be back again and apologize for the disaster they have caused in Season 6.

Just wait for it...it's coming.

TLDR

Solo Q will be back. Riot knows this and we should know this too.

(Riot is obviously saying 'solo q isn't coming back'...because let's be real, if they did RIGHT NOW...they will look even more stupid 6 months into DQ)

That announcement will have to be during a preseason or the start of a new season. They might even have to incorporate voice chat in games with the return of solo Q.

Give them a year or two

This is the internet age, son. Only way they get that kind of time is if nothing else grabs our attention ... and that's a dangerous game.

Riot broke this formerly awesome game. They got way too big way too fast and literally destroyed the integrity of the game all while making their "cash grabbing" extremely evident.

I hope soloq coming back is inevitable for riot.

I have to say SoloQ is overall better than Dynamic Queue But pls, the role select thing is lovely. I like this part a lot. Not the 5 premades vs random team tho

Yeah, not gonna happen.

This is 2016 my friend, there are a lot of fish in the pond.

I stopped buying RP months ago, and haven't played League in weeks. Happy in overwatch now.

TL;DR: In this age, and with such a big market full of powerful players, why should I wait a year for my fun?

See that's the funny thing, it's about making players happy and feel safe. Something like this doesn't make us feel safe and is therefore a bad idea, regardless of what reasons they have

I have already started playing considerably less. If it takes 1-2 years, most likely I won't be playing again, as I probably would have found something better to occupy my time with. I used to spam this game like crazy in Season 4 when I first started playing so I'm pretty sad about what has happened to the game.

You are our new messiah, dynamic queue shall fall and solo queue shall rise again.

Hate to tell you but you cannot make every happy, sure they know this.

Now time for the math!!! So if it really so called hurts high end that is what around 75k players. Now there are high end players who do not care or like DQ also in that pool. So you do not even have full 75k. Now let us talking about the oh so much larger pool of players who DQ doesn't really effect at all. Ones who care more about playing with more friends then their ranking itself. They're going to be in favor of DQ since it brings more fun into the game for them.

Business itself is showing Riot is doing the right thing and targeting the larger pool of players and making the game more to their liking so that in turn gives them more money.

I like your optimism OP. Basically like every other fool here who didn't take a hint from the start and waited till the very end to hear the news.

Nothing will actually happen to their game. People will keep complaining on the boards like they have been since the dawn of time. No one will actually quit because of Dynamic Queue, and people who claim they are will probably return after a couple of days.
