Riot... good job.

No, literally. Good job.

Since the boards are literally overrun with solo queue fanatics, I've decided to post something about this discussion in the consenting perspective. I couldn't be any happier that this folly is being put to rest.

Yes, you really messed up the communication about solo queue, but at least you've acknowledged your mistake. Plus, you've mentioned earlier in the season that it was very likely that the game couldn't handle both solo queue and dynamic queue. As the people who wanted solo queue claimed that you weren't telling them the whole truth, their denial just made them more blind to the truth, and less receptive to the changes.

I started playing League when solo queue was the norm, and I disliked how little influence you had over what role you picked, and the amount of toxicity that was present in both games. Both of these issues were resolved with dynamic queue, so naturally I started to advocate for dynamic queue to be kept. I didn't care about team fairness; you're supposed to win some and lose some anyway.

I'm sorry to all of the people who wanted solo queue, but dynamic queue has just as many negatives as solo queue. Dynamic queue can be just as fun. You just have to have a different mindset.

(And to those who claim that Riot isn't listening to their player base... are you serious? The people who post about wanting solo queue back barely make up a percent of the actual player base in North America.)

And to Riot; let this be a lesson to you. Communication is important, maybe even more important than the changes themselves. In the end, despite minor protests on the boards, you stuck with what you thought will make League of Legends a better game. As players, we should trust you. You created this awesome game for us, and we shouldn't let one small change ruin the experience. You know best, since you are, like, the experts here.

Let this major debate and division of the players just be a unfortunate chapter in LoL history. We can change, and we can still have fun playing LoL! [slayer-jinx-wink]
