A way to please both SoloQ and DynamicQ fans!!

Hello I've just got this idea to improve the DynamicQ system for both SoloQ and DynamicQ fans. Please read carefully and give me your opinion.

After a while of thinking on a way to actually have SoloQ I've come to a conclusion that right now, after Riot released DynamicQ, it is straight out impossible to create SoloQ.

**So that's when I came to this idea what if instead of creating 2 queues we make one queue that can passively contain soloQ. And thus I came to this idea, what if we removed the 4 man premades? If we remove 4 man premades solo players will be either queue'd with either Solo players, Duo or trio premades. ** So now we've gotten rid of the biggest problem that we initially had, which was the harrassment of the 4 man premade towards the solo player and the fact that the better premade would prevail.

However there is one more layer we can add to make it more SoloQ'ish. What if we added a layer which would increase the chances of a 2 man premade to queue'd with a 3 man premade. This way we would (almost) completely remove the chances of a SoloQ player to be queue'd with an actual premade. Even though there will be a game or two for where they will be placed together with a premade but the chances of it happening would be lessened as both teams would need a premade of the same size.

So now we actually create 3 'passive' queues in one big queue, we can gain so much by just removing the 4 man premade which brings more problems than benefits.

The benefits:

SoloQ
DuoQ - TrioQ
Full 5 man team queue
No more need to create a full SoloQ game mode.
Alot less problems in terms of queue times for Solo players(since DuoQ and TrioQ members will be allowed to have soloQ players in their teams once the queue time increases by X amount.)

The loss:

Removal of 4 man premades.

Please give me some feedback and if you like it, UPVOTE!!

Q times are already absurdly long right now

This will only reduce the queue times for solo players by a huge amount and only slightly increase the queue times for Duo and Trio premades. The reason it will ioncrease only slightly is because the queue will turn off the second layer which prevents the 3 man queue to be in the same party with a solo player. So after the X minutes, which can be set at 3 minutes for example the duoQ and TrioQ premade can get their queue times increased.

Yeah I'm going to need evidence for those claims. Because I highly doubt it will be only minimal increases

You have to understand this, if the queue time reaches let's say 3 minutes. The queue will throw away the second layer. The layer that blocks solo players to queue with premades. This means that the queue times will average around 0-3 minutes if the current online playerbase allows. If not the queue will be reset to 0 minutes and will be just like now.

All in all it means that we abolish the idea of having both soloq and dynamicQ while completely fixing the problems we had up until now. I don't understand how this doesn't sound reasonable.

If we remove 4 man premades ppl will QQ about 3 man premades and then Duos. No thanks, can't please everyone.

There is really no difference from your Q from the ranked 3 v 4 and SoloQ. Besides, that's like saying if you want to bring your third friend, you need a fourth friend.

There is a difference. Because it creates a pure Solo Queue. Where people who queue alone will get to play alone. And people who queue in 2 or 3 man premades get to play with other premades. And thus the problem is solved. The only loss as stated above is the 4 man premade queue diminishes.

The problem with this is that I don't think the number of 3 man groups and duos are close to the same. So Solo players would often half to fill in the gaps. It would stop people from complaining about having to play with 4 man groups, but it wouldn't really make anyone happy. I guess that's the sign of a good compromise though.
