Dynamic Queue is cancer. Bring back solo queue. Or a different queue for gameplay altogether.
Listen. This is unfair. For the people that have to match with 4 randoms who have 0 coordination versus a team of 3-4 people on skype/voice chat with great coordination and communication....how is it possible to realistically win your games when you are constantly at a disadvantage? Even when I absolutely CRUSH my lane opponent, the rest of my team lacks coordination and basic knowledge of the game to take objectives as a team, or fight and focus the proper targets so we can come out on top. The whole dynamic system has ruined ranked. I don't want to keep having to play duos and trios and quadrios of people in my ranked matches. I want to play by myself with 4 randoms against 5 other randoms because that is fair. Duo queue never should have even been a thing to begin with. Playing with people you know are good is easy. When I play with people I know who I trust and communicate well with, I can place platinum and above. But because of the new dynamic queue and the trend of games being very volatile and not consistently easy to win when you are ahead, I'm placed in silver 3. I rose and fell back to silver 3. I have a 42% winrate and despite my best efforts and playing the champions I'm best at and the roles I'm best at...I cannot seem to have a solid enough winstreak to ever get through a promo series when I ever get to one. I'm sorry. Ranked queue used to be about individual skill and being better than your laner. A few seasons ago, if I went 14/4 as a midlaner it was unlikely that I would lose unless I intentionally threw the game several times in a row. Now I can crush my laner(or lose hard and just keep up in cs) and still losing/winning is 100% a tossup. Especially in silver. I can't reasonably rely on my teammates to be good at the game so I try to improve myself. I'm by no means a bad player. Otherwise I wouldnt be able to place higher when I'm playing with people who are actually good at the game. There's no solution for someone like me who hates teaming up with people because it removes the satisfaction of winning by yourself. I literally don't enjoy queuing up with several people. I want to win by myself by my own merits and
wanna know the solution? At least the one I have in mind.
1v1 blind pick ranked mode. 3 bans each player. On howling abyss or something similar...instead of 3 turrets...maybe one or an inhibitor and a turret with a nexus. I'm serious. Screw this teamgame. honestly screw this entire ranked dynamic queue system that you have here. It encourages smurfing and teams trolling or completely unbalances games that were honestly a bit more balanced before. I dont remember the last time I played this game where I had so many loss streaks without having win streaks to regain my mmr and ranking. Some of the games I play are actually IMPOSSIBLE to win. No matter what I do to try and help my team or win my lane or at least stay even, it never ends up working as often as it should. This game has become one where I cannot rely on myself being a good enough player to do well enough to climb, which I thought was the purpose of a ranking ladder... But honestly this game isnt fun with ranked dynamic queue anymore. It's boring. If you brought a mode where players can test their individual skill and applied a ladder system to it, you'd be so much better off for players like me who get irritated at their teammates in dynamic queue because people don't know how to play as a team. It gets really tiring trying to organize and rally your bad teammates into doing well. We'd have at least some sort of ranking where we could go and test our limits as an individual. Plus it brings new meaning to '1v1 me bruh.'
please. I know I'm just one player and honestly I'm feeling super tilted right now from all these losses but I can't be the only one who is sick of all this. Bring in some sort of alternative to ranked dynamic queue. I would be happy with just solo queue being back(but still, screw duo queue.) But otherwise I have no way to really test my skill or feel like I have a reasonable ranking that matches my skill level. I am not a silver level player because if I was I would place silver in every kind of queue that I have played in, which isnt true. I have been plat before and that's where I feel I fit in the most and belong the most. That means there's two entire divisions of people I have to climb through with all these teams before I can feel like I actually am ranked what I deserve.
and no. I'm not just going to queue up with people who I know are good to solve my problems. I'm not the 'if you cant beat them, join them.' type of person. That shouldn't be the solution. Solo queue was about honing your skills individually. I've never had such a horrendously negative skewed winrate and that says something about this season and how much has changed. Because my skill level has definitely not gotten worse...if anything it has gotten better as I have expanded my champion pool and I am capable of winning matchups with certain champs that I thought I would always lose...so give me an outlet to really test my abilities instead of having to deal with dynamic queue and all of the trolls and feeders that I get in 8/10 of my games every single time.
