1 . Pre-Thoughts: Since the removal of solo queue there was a lot of heat about the way riot handled things. They admitted that they made mistakes and that is that for me. On the point of no rioters answering to posts there a so many reasons that could happen like they aren't allowed to, they don't know more then we do or they don't wont to make problems even bigger by screwing up again with a announcement again .One the point of Tencent forcing them well they had a majority share of Riot for a long time so I do not think its there doing as well as Dynamic queue was in other games before. Before going on to the main post pleas Riot if you bring statistics and numbers back them up with the study or at least make it so we have more then your word going for it being true.
2 . Game aspects : A lot of problems that happened in Solo Queue where do fights over the role which you would play and who picks when. This lead to bad blood before the game even started and would lay the ground for flaming, feed and afk. These problems where addressed by the new Champion select which I can riot only thank for it really helps a lot to remove the before mention problems an I happily accept longer waiting times for it. But that is where for me the changes to ranked stop being improvements. The goal of Ranked is to try your hardest and show your skills which was measured before in two ways. One was team queue which showed how good you are in a pre-made team with your friends and/or team-mates. The other was solo queue that had the focus more on individual skills .Now they have united it in dynamic queue. And even being a Solo-player almost exclusively in ranked I must admit it is nice not having to decided to play ether ranked or with more then one friend.But that doesn't work with all of my friends because some are ranked more then one league above me and I can't invite them unless they use a smurf which would create an unfair advantage. On the topic of Pre-mates versus Solo-players I think it is not the worst thing in the world. Ether side can lose the game (or all together and of course win it too).But it should be your option if you want to play with pre-mates because it is vastly different then a team at most one duo that way taking away ways to improve and making you a better Player. In the long run that will even effect the pro level of play as of now if you are higher enough Diamond is enough to run in to pro-Player/Teams. Which as unlikely as it may sound influences the next topic.
3 . Monetary Aspect: As to the point that there will be more money in friends planning together that is true in a short run but free to play usually live from so called nuggets. That term reefers to a players that spent huge amounts of money on the game.League of Legends has an advantage over most other Free to play games in that regarded besides the huge player base its a front runner of E-sports. With that there a sponsorship deals , potential ad revenue during streams ,ticked and merchandise sales.So as you can see it is not a topical situation for a game as the paling should be way more long term then just increase the cash flow for the next quarter. Which leads me to the possibilities.
4 . Concltuion: The first and most unlikely is to revert to the old Ranked System , the second is Dynamic queue only and the third and last is Dynamic queue and Solo queue together.
The point is so unlikely I only won't go in detail about it and as it is self-explanatory as well. On the account of the other to other two points in my opinion having only Dynamic queue is not enough as a competitive mode on its own. You over all don't have the same sense of achievement when you got to the next League on your own .
Please if you commend be polite and respectful
