INSANELY LONG QUEUE TIMES LATELY?

Rezon8·5/8/2016, 11:51:45 PM·5 votes·4,496 views

I've noticed more and more that queue times are getting longer and longer and I don't understand why normal draft takes 10 mins to get into a game? I thought LoL was played by millions of users a day (the most played game in the world last i heard), so why then does it take so long for a normal game to pop? It's getting more and more of a time waste to even TRY to get into a game these days. What giveS?

When they introduced dynamic queue and the two-role prioritization they set up a system that actively discouraged people picking support or fill as a secondary role as doing so nearly guarantees you will get support. So now the only people who support are people who really want to play support. That leads to a huge support shortage. And why Riot doesn't give out IP bonuses, increased key fragment drops, or some other incentive for filling or picking support is beyond me.

Because 80% of players playing ranked right now are premades and theres a reducing amount of Solos to fill in the slots.

Yeah I've noticed it. Been consistently getting 15+ min que times over the last week, before that it was rarely longer than 10.

1000000 players... 100 supports. You do the math. :D

Yeah, Riot nerfed support in 6.9, and the queue times are almost purely gated by the number of support players. It doesn't matter if there are a trillion players, if there are only 500 supports playing, it can still only make at most 250 games. More support players like me have just stopped playing entirely this patch since it sucks so badly now. Probably still going to get worse as more people realize how much the role suck now.

Because no one wants to support TOXIC ELITIST SCUMBAG ELO's these days. That's why.

Dunno about the queue times but I just played a match where my entire team had over 3k ping the entire game and the win Zhao's on the enemy team were free farming, dunno what was going on there.
