Why don't we list out all the pros and cons of Dynamic Queue instead of blindly going for/against it

I see a lot of hate going on the board because: Solo supporters are tired of reasoning Dynamic Supporters are tired of seeing daily reminders with no information at all.

I have read many of the threads and I will try to list the arguments of both sides, because I really hope it helps Riot and us understand more about what we are dealing with more points of view.

Before that, let's make sure you know Dynamic Queue is different from the new champion select. DQ allows 3-4 players to queue together for ranked, while NCS allows each player to choose two roles. A lot of people are still confusing the two. I am only talking about DQ in this thread, because NCS is undoubtedly a great success.

Pros of Dynamic Queue: -Groups of 3 and 4 can play together now -Teamwork-oriented -Incentives for players to invite new players, leading to expansikn in playerbase -Could be a start for implementing voice chat

Cons of Dynamic Queue: -Inaccurate Representation of Individual Skill -Premade badge may lead to disgrace from solo players' perspective -Unfair tactical environment for solo players -Potentially magnified toxcity as 3-4 premade is more accessible to bullying than 1-2.

-----Below is my stance and opinion, think for yourself before moving on-----

In theory, dynamic queue is beneficial if all players are not toxic, and all players are in a group of 5, but these are of course impossible, This is also why dynamic queue is fundamemtally flawed,

Dynamic Queue Pros:

Mario Party. Play ranked with more friends. Always get familiar role.

Dynamic Queue Cons:

Takes away a lot of prestige of higher rated players especially those who consistently play in groups of 3 or more. Easier Climbing. Always queuing with 3 or 4 lower ranked players will net you more wins and easy LP. Lack of respect for the majority of players who queue solo. The Requirement to have a larger knowledge base of the other lanes is not required, and also takes away some of the prestige of higher rating. Groups of four being able to harass the solo queue player. Higher queue times at higher ranks, which forces more smurfs into the lower brackets. Causing an even more toxic environment.

will probably add more

You see, we started out very reasonably, but Riot continues to clap their hands over their ears.

Now, it's out and out war.

my experience is reduced toxicity with dynamic queue when with groups this is from the perspective of both:

  1. being matchmade with a group.
  2. being in the group
