Why don't we have a true SOLO queue?

Why can I have 2 pre-made groups of 2 on the enemy team and an autofilled support in solo? I don't want a fucking flex queue experience, so it would be nice if you could make it JUST SOLO or at least limit it to ONE pre-made per team so I don't have to deal with 2 fucking people top lane for most of the game.

"BUT THE ENEMY BOT AND MID HAVE NO HELP!" I'm sure most of you think. NOPE. The enemy bot lane is a pre-made too. So they're fine. While my support is auto-filled and building as and forcing trades while flaming my who knows he can't win a 2v2 against

if you want pure solo Q you will need to climb the ladder a bit up :D

The reason is to lower queue times for finding supposedly well balanced games, but I would like to see if the timers are much longer if they restricted each team to having only 1 duo

You can't. Solo Q is exactly the same as it was in season 5: Either 5 solo players on both teams or up to 1 duo per team.

The reason they still have duo is to promote boosting :P

Solo Queues test of ability would really rely on it TRULY BEING SOLO. Boosters benefit from duo queves, and if you wanna duo, trio or 5 man, you can join flex for that. Solo Q times wont go up because it wont be looking to match duo lanes in the game so it would actually be faster load times. Make a SOLO queve so we can see peoples true elo.

Where is it? Where is that damn post that said "When Riot returns solo queue, people are gonna complain about that too?" I can't fucking find it. Someone plz...

And please stop trying to compare solo queue to flex queue. Premades in solo queue rarely ever coordinate with other premades. A premade of 4 where all 4 people are coordinating is much more difficult to deal with as a solo player.

Solo queue has been defined as solo/duo queue since he dawn of time. Please take your salt somewhere else.
