It's been almost 36 hours, and no word. I don't care at this point if it won't be up for a week, just please say something and tell us how it is before the weekend. You've stated recently one of your goals is to increase transparency with players.

I personally love the new queueing as not only do I never have to play in the bot lane again, but the biggest benefit is my teammates ALSO get to play the roles they want. As someone who is serious about moving out of silver this season, I noticed an increase in better quality gameplay/teamwork while it was up. Drafting went from bickering to strategizing, and lower picks are actually good now as since you already know your role you have the potential to properly counter the other team.

UPDATED: Riot says not this weekend, Monday at the earliest. Thank you for speaking up!

SOMETHING, Anything. Why wasn't this addressed in the preseason? The season has started and ranks are falling everywhere, but that's another story...

Same. Honestly I don't even feel like playing while it's down, especially not ranked. To taste something so sweet, only to have it snatched away. How cruel.

well, they dont like the boards much, so i wouldnt expect them to post info here, but here is something from riot lyte on his twitter:

10hs ago

Working on a small live test of new Champ Select on VN server. Fingers crossed it goes well

21hs ago

All we can do is work our butts off and ask for your patience. We'll be back when we have some news.

It makes it much easier to make features in the future if we pull this off, but it's been a rocky start and there's no excuse for that.

For players asking, "What happened?" tldr: this project was massive and introduced a new backend, matchmaking system and Champ Select.

oh from reddit:

Just a small update from Riot TMX over at the EU Boards

22.01 update:

Hey everyone, just wanted to keep you updated on what's happening on our end.

Our engineers are still working on getting the Dynamic Ranked system fixed so it can be re-enabled for everyone. >We haven’t pinpointed a solution yet, but we have identified some back-end systems that need adjustments in >order to properly handle the high volume of games. Once we have a fix we’re confident in, we’ll be rolling the new >champ select and Dynamic Ranked back out to the game ASAP. We’ll start in one region, and if successful, roll >out to other affected regions. The last thing we want is to return the feature to you, only for it to need to come >down again.

Q: What about Party Rewards? A: We'll be extending the Party Rewards Week to account for Dynamic Ranked and new champ select’s downtime.

We’ll continuously update this post, with another update coming within 24 hours, and another on Monday if > service isn’t restored. Thank you again for being so patient!

Logged in to bump this. I've been meaning to make a thread saying exactly this for a while now. Getting pretty sick of checking every couple hours for zero information. Give us a damned ballpark estimate. A few days? A week? Say something. You guys handle the PR aspect of this stuff so badly.

As a whole i dislike the new queue system compared to Team Builder. However, they both allow me to play and practice specific champions/lanes. They take down team builder and replace it with the new Queue. Alright whatever, I'll roll with it. The new queue then falls apart instantly and take it down. And then leave team builder down. Fuck! I thought i was done dealing with instalocking "X or feed" bullshit.

Man i never have to leave the botlane [slayer-jinx-wink]

Can they at the very least give us Team Builder back when it's down too?

Y4SO1/22/2016, 8:57:34 PM1 votes

YES. PLEASE. Not telling us anything about what is going on is frustrating. All I want to do is play the new queue and I currently have no idea when I will get to.

My biggest issue with the new champ select being down is that WE ARE HAVING A PARTY IP WEEK THAT HINGES ON THAT THING BEING UP. 150% extra ip in 5man in old queue vs. 450% EXTRA IP HOLY ****. And we cant even play it because the new queue has been down for almost 2 full days of our 4 day party ip week. If they extend the IP week or rescehdule for next weekend, man I'd be happier than anything. But i have a sneaking suspension that they won't even think about doing that. I really want my 450% IP. I even bought an IP boost. Its like they teased us only to take it away because they didnt actually want us to be able to earn that much.

It was so hard to go back to old champ select.

Jungler was someone who's never played jungle, etc. etc. Lost that one placement, and I stopped playing ranked till Dynamic is back.

Just for everyone who isn't reading boards riot posted saying its going to be back up Monday for testing on 1 region it will be down all weekend

With dynamic queue gone my friends and I have gone to ARAM and dominion even though there is usually 5 of us just because dynamic was so fun.
