How do I get feedback to Riot about solo-/dynamicQ?

webkr3b5··36 votes·2,290 views

I want to give feedback about the state of the game and how the loss of soloQ and the current implementation of dynamicQ has driven me away from playing. Since every thread about soloQ gets ignored on the forums and since the reddit mods delete similar thready because of being a repost, how do I get to Riot about this topic? There doesn't seem to be any effective way to get Riots attention on this (atleast in my opinion) very important topic, which might drive a sizeable part of the old soloQ population away from the game if ignored.

Currently there is no communication at all about the topic, all we have had in the last month was a twitter post that soloQ is still far off and then the forum post where they briefly mentioned, that there might be a very unlikely point in the future where they might remove soloQ (which seems like some PR bullshit to ease the community into the already planned removal of soloQ).

I don't want my enjoyment of this game to end like this.

Mind that this is not a thread about how you dislike dynamicQ or want soloQ back. This is about how to get Riots attention to help them figure out what keeps people like the soloQ crowd engaged to this game.

They seemingly do not care. Nobody likes or wants Dynamic que, but Riot does not want to admit or acknowledge that its a failure.

Some of the League community wants Dynamic queue, but most of them don't play League competitively/seriously in Ranked, and some of the people who stated they prefer Dynamic queue don't even play Ranked to begin with. Can't forget about these types of people that Riot tried to abuse to support Dynamic queue over Solo queue in poorly made pie charts.

It's not a failure, just because YOU don't like it doesn't mean that other players don't. There are tons of people that love DQ, and you know why Riot prioritizes it? Because players that use DQ to play with friends tend to spend more money on the game than those that don't.

No one but boosters have reasons to love dynamic.

is not a true ranked due to massive umblance and mmr range, dynamic is a normal with a pointless rank, so what's the point?

What people truly love is the role pick (also a mistake), and that's not dynamic.

As today, there is no ranked in league of legends, that's the problem.

I had never logged in to this board in the past 5 years I've been playing this game. I've never cared about unbalanced champions, bugs, trolls, or game play changes. But this dynamic queue only in ranked is such poor idea and I felt I had to speak up against it. I've never had such a bad experience playing ranked since I started playing 5 years ago. So sad Riot won't even acknowledge the majority of players want solo Q and find a fix, or at least put up a poll.

By playing in the LCS. LCS is the only think that matters to these dumbasses

Actually, even though a lot of pro players (C9 Jensen, Hai as examples) posted on Twitter about wanting solo q, no response from Riot.

Seems they just want to serve us another lie on a silver platter...

Why not chat with some of the LCS teams? Some of them already made fun of Dynamic.

Why do they have to be refered to as "dumbasses"? Do you think that resulting to name calling is going to magically make Riot notice you? How, this guy's pissed, he is calling us names, he might be someone to listen to.

No, that's not how it works.

Maybe i enjoy calling people dumbasses?

People are pretty fed up about Riot not listening to the concerns for almost 4 months. Constructive criticism accomplished nothing so people get mad.

Getting mad isn't going to do anything either. That actually shuts them down all together.

they're a huge business now, they no longer give a shit about the people who have been playing for a long time and supported this game back when it was shit

if you don't enjoy it anymore then quit. riot doesn't care if you're happy or not. they already got your money.

This isn't true. You know why? LoL is the only game Riot has to they don't have the luxury of not caring.

I'm a long time Starcraft fan and that game has declined and lost pretty much all the community. Does Blizzard care? Not that much, they have tons of other cash cows.

If LoL declines Riot will give a shit. This is it. There are no more games. This is where the cash is.

i'm not saying they don't care about league. i'm saying they don't care about their players.

MrWasjig3 votes

The problem I see is that League has no real competitors. And before the Dota fanboys (if there are any present) come at me with sharpened sticks, can you really say that Dota has the sheer scale of League, everything factored? No you can't.

And what happens when you don't have to compete? You don't have to care. Riot has an iron-fisted grasp on the MOBA market with by and large the single biggest entry, and little to threaten it's throne.

Look at the rivalry between Microsoft and Apple in ages past, it forced them to genuinely innovate and improve to one up the other. Who does Riot have to one up? Nobody. Because they're already at the top.

...having read that back I'm repeating the same point several times. But at least it's made.

Post on the forums. Maybe tweet to someone relevant on twitter. Post on reddit.

No guarantee they'll respond, of course.

Any information from any red at this point would be greatly appreciated. I up its threads when I can, try to add in comments, but it doesn't seem like riot wants to talk to the community about this.

I would like solo please.

SeekerofSilence3 votes

The Rioters on the boards seem to have little to do with those things, you might just want to check out their Support instead and hope they can direct you to the right people!

MrWasjig3 votes

To answer this entire thread concisely.

Don't bother. As far as Riot is concerned, you can take your feedback and throw into a flaming bin and piss on it.

Keevalroy1 votes

That would put the fire out. It might still be readable.

MrWasjig1 votes

Oh sorry, I should have specified: Piss on it, AFTER it's finished burning.

riot know pretty well about dynamic being broken

Too bad there's no way to contact Riot. Send in a Support ticket and keep replying until they're forced to stop sending automatic messages as replies.

I'm not boosted, not by a long shot, and I absolutely LOVE dynamic queue

The mmr range is the same as duo queue players before DQ came out.

I love everything about it, picking your 2 roles, pick intent, 3 players getting bans, everything!

There is ranked, you may not like it, but it is there.

That means you like the new champ select.

Dynamic Queue is an entirely different subject.

Actually it isn't, I love being able to play ranked with more than just one of my friends, I love that there are less trolls because I know a larger portion of the team, I love that even if I end up in a 4v5 that my team who are in a call together have some chance of winning the game

Not everyone has friends or friends that are good enough to rank with, youre just being a selfish sheep wanting dynamic queue without really knowing what it represents. Its a god damn competitive queue not a place for a group to over-rule any individual skill. People like you make Riot believe theyre doing their job right. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

It's not my problem that you don't have friends. Riot is doing their job right, people like you are just the vocal minority. The only reason that there are more posts about DQ being bad is cry babies like you post more than people who enjoy content. Also, groups will be placed with groups, it's not like a 5 man team will be teamed against 5 solo players. So it is competitive, it's just helping to highlight that League is a TEAM BASED GAME.

To play with my friends I have to log onto a silver or gold smurf now, since we can't play Ranked5's anymore. And stomping Silver/Gold people with a team of 3 Plats, 1 Diamond and their Silver buddy isn't really all that fun.

You would have to go on a quest IRL at this point and find the source.
