I really hope the re-addition of Solo Queue is a sign that Riot is moving away from forced grouping

I'm a player who mostly plays solo. i come home from work, grab something to eat, put the dog out to potty, then queue up to play. I rarely group unless asked by other people, I just don't feel any desire to wrangle up people when I can just queue in and get to it.

So I keep seeing shit like this, an A+ when I have good KDA scores and helped people win fights and all that good stuff, and people tell me I need more farm to push up past A+. And maybe I do need to push the farming more than the team fighting, maybe ignore my allies when they are running through jungle and just eat minions by myself for a bit. But I can't help but see that 0 Party Bonus tag, and feel like I'm being cheated out of my Mastery shards by playing solo instead of grouping like the current system wants you to do.

So, I just want to say, that I hope the re-addition of Solo Queue is a sign that Riot is going to move away from forcing people to group up if they want to maximize their rewards. Group queueing should be a fun activity for those that wish to do so, not a requirement that gates access to progression. This isn't WoW, I shouldn't need to hunt down groups of people to get the best rewards.

Grah.
