Give Riot a month until Riot_Lyte figures out that 3-4 man queues are incredibly toxic.

4 man queues that actually want to win aren't going to be toxic because that doesn't win games

I'll use my HoTS experience when 3-4 man queues were allowed in Hero league. Basically what would happen is the 3-4 man would make extremely questionable calls (especially at lower divisions). Think of like doing a Baron while the enemy team is all top lane and has vision on Baron pit. Since they have the majority it's extremely hard to persuade them (especially since they tend to only type in chat to give a snarky remark) and it ends up just being annoying for both sides. The 3 man can't do their play because the two solo players both see it as idiotic, and the 2 man have to sit there talking to a wall.

At the end of the day toxicity doesn't have to be voice comms for me it is unneeded stress caused by a teams lack of communication or game knowledge.

Then people will learn to communicate and not do 2 man missions.

These are things that already happen and people who consistently do them lose more often.

Again, people who actually want to win will communicate and work with randoms

We'll have to see how it goes. In HoTS is was especially bad in lower divisions to the point where it had to be removed due to extreme toxicity. HoTS was also more team focused than LoL, so some differences will be clear.

You are kidding me! Have you played new queue? Its terrible slow and more troll than ever. Forced to pick role without talking to teammates? How is this good for any1? Queues take for ever now. there is 2 times the opportunity to troll. if you lucky your own teammates wont ban the champ you preselected. Forced to ban or get punished. Not banning is no longer a strategy that can be used. People will not learn to communicate if they were not communicating before. Its a sad day for league

Won't happen. People seem to forget this is how ranked started out and it work great back then. They want to change it up after 4 years which is a good thing.

The MoBA genre has changed a lot in the last 4 years. We'll have to wait and see, but I'm already seeing a lot of similarities to the failings of HoTS last year.

No, because the game is only fun if you play with friends!

Apparently.

I don't understand how people only have fun with friends in league. If I want to play with friends I play Blind/Draft/ARAM. Bringing friends into ranked with me just makes me salty, and if they play poorly not want to play with them again. Still not going to be able to play with friends in ranked since it tends to just make me toxic.
