I find myself playing LoL less and less. I just got stomped by a 4-man premade. It isn't fun.

Seems like most people here are defending dynamic queue. It's sad to know that there are people out there that think it's okay for a 4-man premade to fight solo q players. Well, it's obvious I'm not going to convince anybody here that dynamic queue is bad for the game. This game was fun for a while but I think I should take my time and money elsewhere.

A lot of people have given up trying to fight Riot's insanity and arrogance. They're too proud of their shitty system to do anything this season, so we're hoping for next season to be more promising, both for ranked and gameplay in general. (Season 6 is AIDS imo.)

Aside from those people, there are those who just gave up and walked away disgusted, and then Riot counts them as "liking DQ" even though their data is imaginary, or they've given up and walked away from League completely. It's sad to see this becoming the WoW forums where the dedicated crowd was driven away by retarded game direction, and the mindless white knight drones slithered away from their idols and sacrificial alters to blindly defend them at the first sign of company-insult. Same thing that happened there started at the beginning of this season, and it's only becoming more prevalent. The fucking brown-nosers helped ruin WoW, and they're doing the same to League.

I did say right before the preseason hit that this would be the Cataclysm expansion for LoL, and history is repeating itself almost exactly the same way...

just the riot fanboys. They are back and will vigorously defend and praise riot (see the threads about downtime)

A lot of people disliking DQ have quit and Riot fanboys will stick to the bitter end.

"4 man premade stomped me, and instead of reevaluating what i did wrong and what they did right that led to this result, im going to just blame Dynamic Queue for my loss."

"stomped us" He was in premade too :D

Michael702Jun 27, 20165 votes

"us" as in my team. It's a 5v5 game. 4 of the members of the other team were premade. None of the players on my team were premade.

What I did wrong: Played a ranked game without 4 friends. What they did right: Played a ranked game with 4 friends.

No, you got outskilled by teamwork. Either learn to work with your team and how to deal with a coordinated group going against you, or have fun losing. This is a 5 person game, solo players are going to need to start realizing that carrying isnt a thing in the game. Either you win together, or you lose together.

Michael702Jun 29, 20161 votes

They have the advantage. They have instant clear communication. They're on Skype. Pings and typing don't even compare. They have cheese tactics in the bag. IDK how any sane person can possibly think it's fair for a 4-man team that is used to their team comp, used to working together, that uses cheese tactics, and have voice comms to go against people that don't.

I hope all of you defending these scumbags get nothing but premades when you are solo.

Pika FoxJun 29, 20161 votes

Its easily fair. If you understand the game mechanics, have good mechanics, properly ping and tell your team what you plan to do before minions spawn you will easily be able to pull off similar shit. You just need to be willing to work together. If someone on your team doesnt work with you, you deserve to lose, since that person is a dead weight. This isnt solo queue anymore, the skill level of everyone in the game rose sharply because theres an emphasis on coordinated team play now.

They had a voice comms, know each other, had their roles guaranteed and i had what? Full solo team that blames each other and probably some of are boosted. Feels like alot of those points can be fixed by yourself indeed.

Pika FoxJun 28, 20161 votes

Voice comms dont matter all that much, you have access to pings and other forms of in game communication.

If your team is a bunch of solo players that start flaming each other and not cooperating you deserved to lose anyway. Its a team game, not a 1 person carries 4 scrubs game.

See my post below about pings and "other forms of in-game communication".

I'm curious if you were also in a premade of four or if the rest of your team was grouped as 4. Riot put me under the impression Premades of 4 should be matched against other premades 95% of the time.

Didn't know you can't get stomped in SoloQ. Maybe that's why I'm still in Bronze.

Michael702Jun 27, 20165 votes

You still can but not by a 4-man premade with cheese tactics and voice comms.

Pika FoxJun 28, 20161 votes

"Cheese tactics" so grouping and teamwork is cheese tactics now?

Michael702Jun 29, 20161 votes

Absolutely. The entire team waiting in the bush waiting for your ADC to start CSing. 3 of them invading jungler. Yeah, cheese tactics because they know your team isn't going to respond because we don't have voice comms. All we have are pings and typing. Good luck doing any of that while trying to run away.

Sure, you can get off a quick ping or two but a lot of people tune out pings. So it doesn't come close to having your team on voice comms. And even if they did respond, it would be too late. People would just start coming in 1 at a time to die.

And how do you know they had voice comms?

Pika FoxJun 29, 20161 votes

Thats always existed, even in solo queue. You should be playing to be able to respond to situations like that and not facechecking brushes with people missing on the map, and your team should be defending your jungle. Bad play is bad play, complaining that the enemy team is more skilled than yours isnt much of an argument.

VoidreyJun 27, 20161 votes

there would be a lot less complaining if riot brings in Voice Chat. but I see a lot that don't want that either

I wish it only happened once.

DeathBurstJun 29, 20161 votes

Either you are incredibly unlucky or someone is lying -- you or Riot. Because according to them, what you described happens 1 every 1000 games, in DynamicQ. And given that there isn't a single match appearing on your profile, I have my idea about that.

Oh, and just for the others SoloQQ'ers that may read that, a useful reminder: going solo against a premade-4 was always possible in Normals before.

Michael702Jun 29, 20161 votes

This is my NA account. I play in Asia now. I think Riot is lying. I saw their graph showing that premades only win 55 or 65 (forget which) of their games vs non premades. In my experience, it's more like 100%.
