"Dynamic queue and the future of League - video" - My problems with it!

Dynamic queue and the future of League

I just watched Riots "round table video", in which they talk about the problems dynamic queue caused. And holy blooooop it made me really angry regarding certain aspects! The hypocisry!

  1. "The meaning of ranked" They say the community has a hard time adjusting to Riots new definition of an "ranked experience", which is "playing with friends to boost you". Getting carried is by Riots definition a more true ranked achievement, than managing to reach your goal using your own skill.

So I´m by far not the best player out there, but I´m proud to have made it this far (each season completely on my own)! And I simply feel robbed of that feeling of achievement.

  1. But wait, what´s that? They´ll change Dia and above so that you can only play as 1 to 3? So here´s the first part of the hypocrisy. They make a hell of a deal about the meaning of ranked and so on, but because their system is too "fucked up" (directly quoted from the video), they are willing to reverte it partially?

  2. "Queue times suck in high MMR" Queue times suck in middle to high MMR too u know?!? When I can wait 10 minutes in a normal with FILL as secondary, something´s broken.

Any why the hell didn´t gbay99 say anything regarding that matter??? That guy couldn´t finish videos because he was in queue for half an hour and more! Every time you can see his LoL window while he is in queu for the "Road to diamond" it´s over 10 minutes!

Is that really acceptable? I mean, yea fix high MMR matchmaking. You broke it yourselfes anyway. But what about the guys in the middle of the pack? You know, most of your playerbase???

Taking all of this + the fact that almost no solutions were offered, I´m at an all time low regarding my enthusiasm regarding League.

It's nonsense. Clumping every queue configuration together makes no sense for ranked ladder since solo to 5-man are different skills and experiences (plus possible voice chat/pre-game advantages). No matter how hard you try to adjust it, it's inherently a broken system if you take competitive play seriously. There is simply no other way around it. That's the problem for me. It's not just unfair matchmaking, it's that it lacks validity as a ranking system since it doesn't force consistency in the experience despite putting everything on a single ladder.

They could at least show a solo ranking separately though even if it's all DQ still.

This video really shows they are missing a huge point that is skewing all of their opinions and viewpoints: **They assume ALL players want to play with friends or other players. ** I don't play with friends, I don't have friends that play this game, I don't play this game to make friends, I like to play this game alone - these are HUGE points that a lot of players who are calling for Solo Q to come back. Riot has completely screwed themselves and I don't want to quit this game but ranked is a really big part of this. It's really just a sad situation to be in. The player base has been screaming until we are hoarse and Riot just isn't listening.
