I REFUSE TO PLAY RANKED.

BlâckLotus·Aug 7, 2016·20 votes·1,118 views

As a solo player when i queue'd i agreed to get matched with 4 other people that will be willing to communicate with me and respect me and my decisions. as a solo player i refuse to: 1.get ignored by cocky premades. 2.get harassed by premades. 3.be in the same ranked ladder with premades. 4.get trolled by premades. 5.be forced out of my role by premades.

I refuse to accept that dynamic queue made the game more teamwork oriented for me and solo players in general. I refuse to accept that dynamic queue made players less toxic,it just made them harder to detect since premades dont report premades as frequently. Therefore after 5 years of enjoying this game I REFUSE TO PLAY RANKED until a solution is found.

this thread isnt about me refusing to play ranked,its about the reasons that make me refuse to play ranked.

I dont care, i still refuse to eat broccoli? U want reason? It tastes horrible.

Cool story bro. IMO i think the lee sins who afk at 5 minutes because twitch didn't press heal at the right time are a bigger issue than a "cocky premade" but ok.

Good. Leave the shitters out. You won't be missed.

Good for you man! However, i have no expectations from solo queue. The best matches you'll play are with a team you know.
This is a team game and going at it alone isn't really supported. So i'm sorry, but you need a thick skin if you plan on rising through solo queue.

league is a team game in a sense that you have a team but not in a sense that most players play as premades,a big portion of the community plays solo and riot needs to aknowledge their efforts.

Can I recommend going in the team forums and finding 4 others to play with ?

Every solo q anger thread can easily be fixed by playing with some friends.

I'd you wanna continue playing solo, i respect that opinion and wish you luck vs all the random trolls afkers Feeders and ragers you'll play with every game. Good luck personally I don't like dealing with negative people and that's why I play with my friends.

We're all positive players and we treat everyone fairly and respectfully. Not all premades are bad friend, sorry yiu had to deal with that.

Pls not too many down votes I'm liking this season a lot more with DQ

"friends"

redfeenixAug 7, 20163 votes

Well most players are just regular normal people. Most people I add randomly turn out to be awesome chill people and those that aren't get removed.

But yeh If you don't have any friends irl that okay that's probably the next best option to find people

The problem is that for quite a few players, they are going into the game solo. And, one of the few places to actually meet others within the game (e.g., Summoner's Rift) is not conducive to actually friend making.

In fact, I would suggest that the game as a whole as it is currently designed is not helpful for building a good gaming community and promotes hostility, self-centeredness and/or indifference. (For example: when was the last time your team won a game and you saw that every one honored each other for their teamwork?)

Well said, so what can be done to make teammates like each other instead of hate each other?

Some simple changes in the game would be a start. And some other games suggest an idea or two.

While I wouldn't changing the skill relating to last hitting minions - it does seem to be an essential feature of LoL, I would suggest that a change a payoff relating to the last hit on an opposing champion. Reduce the payoff and spread the amount paid out across the team, instead of giving it to just the person who managed to get the last hit. (Automatically, a huge amount of grief and in-fighting would stop.) The fact that a person is off the field is a benefit to the whole team -- it seems ridiculous to give one player a higher amount of gold when it could have been a whole team working to remove the enemy from the field.

Another idea: new maps could be created where it takes more of a team effort to achieve an objective. Taking down turrets, dragons and even barons can now be achieved by a single player in the mid to late game. Should this really be the case? (Even when the opponent is weak?)

If a premade forces you out of lane, copy the relevant pregame logs into notepad, play what they want you to play, and report them after the game, including the quotes from champ select.

Bonus: having notepad open will help remind you to report so you don't accidentally leave lobby without reporting.

yeah thats surely gonna get them banned,i have more chances of throwing a pokeball toy at a girl on the street and catching her than actualy getting someone banned with that method.

K bye

I solo queue quite frequently and don't have any of those problems.

ElikainAug 7, 20163 votes

I still can't remember the time where i was actually put into a 4 man premade as a solo player. It can happen, but it's unlikely. So far, people constantly throw this on their list of reasons why they think DQ is unfair and i've yet to see any piece of evidence of such a team - like an op.gg or a loading screen screenshot.

I refuse to accept that dynamic queue made the game more teamwork oriented for me and solo players in general.

The game has been moving in this direction long before DQ has been available. If you noticed that in way earlier seasons, you could have carried games completely on your own while now, it's still possible if you perfectly use your advantages but in 99% of the time, your team needs to piggyback on your success or you to share yours with them in order to win. Because the moment you start dying and giving back what you took, you can't fight them 1v5.

1.get ignored by cocky premades.

Solo players can completely refuse to communicate as well. I've played with such people. Let's not pretend it's limited to premades.

2.get harassed by premades.

Right... Solo players have never harassed others, during the 6 years of SQ? The community instantly became toxic the moment DQ popped up?

3.be in the same ranked ladder with premades.

Just to point this out: You have played this game for 5 years in a random premade. You have maybe entered solo but you always were matched up with 4 other people vs 5 others. DQ offers nothing more than playing with a group of people of your choosing. This certainly has it's benefits but not so much that they warrant it's separate ranking ladder.

4.get trolled by premades.

Same as your 3rd problem. There were never solo players trolling or intentionally losing games, for whatever petty reason?

5.be forced out of my role by premades.

Same as your 3rd and 4th problem. There was never a solo player who didn't want to play what he got and decided that he'd pick his champion in a role that someone else already fills? You do exactly what you did to those solo players - you report them.

Solo que player wanting a solo que to be the same as a team premade organized que

you are pretty backwards. just make a premade, damn. you dont have a solo que mentality. you play as a solo player specifically to be selfish.
