It's a shame Riot is taking the old Jagex route of handling League

And just flat out ignoring the community of all wants and needs. Like stuff that people want that are also so basic that it should have been included in the original game Riot had planned 7 years ago or introduced ago in season 2 or 3 like reporting in the champion select and muting pings, but they instead ignore close to all community requests and just do whatever they want.

A very small percentage of the community wanted more than 2 people grouped up in ranked because it's unfair to the enemy team since communication is vital in League, and not having voice chat like the premades we have today is a large disadvantage. You can take stats from any game that has ques of 3 or more people in a party, the team that has the premade of 3+ people vs solo quers has a win percentage of 60% or more and they will continue to be like that until voice chat is brought in so that it's fair then.

It's a shame League is on a fall down when the game still had lots of time left, but rather than listening to what the community wanted, they pulled a full Jagex and now it's going down earlier than it should have. There is still a lot of time to restore the game and come back to having a higher population, but judging by how changes and decisions have been being made recently (cough not changing dynamic que even though almost everyone and their cat is complaining about it cough) I doubt Riot will do the right moves.
