Can we get an ETA on SoloQ?

I've reached Diamond V in DynamicQ already and don't really see reason to push for anything more. Can you give any update on when we'll get SoloQ back? Right now I mostly just play on a smurf with my silver friends and I don't think our opponents enjoy that all too much.

It'll be in the patch with the Lee Sin nerfs.

We will never get an actual solo Q back until a new MOBA game is released that actually rivals Riot. When they start losing players to alternatives that actually took the time to create balanced and fair features in their ranked ladder system, then and only then will Riot actually think about doing it.

Every change Riot makes has to hit 2 points.

  1. It can not reduce player base.
  2. It can not reduce the possibility of revenue generation.

Bringing in a real solo Q and solo Q ladder does not hit either of those points until Riot has data saying they are losing players and money to another game that does have that.

after sandbox mode is released, so never in other words. If i had to take a serious bet on when i'd say maybe after taric is released or after the mage update.

Sorry for the hate but I just had to login to comment this.

Why do people who are high elo stop playing when they reach diamond or something even better? Why do people then start playing on their smurfs and stomp lower elo players? Why do we(low elo) players have to accept a defeat because of that?

If you really belong in diamond, if you really are that good, why did you stop playing there?

Are you afraid that you cannot go any further or players of "equal" skills in your elo will crush you?

I just don't get it. Can't you just play in your league and leave us noobies to play against players of our skill?! And don't tell me that's because you have to wait longer in the queue because that's just bs.

Well, the queue times are honestly pretty disgusting sometimes in the higher elos. Since there are more people in the lower elos I can see why Diamond+ players would want to smurf; it's way easier to get into a game. Other people just get a sick thrill from mercilessly stomping others.

Queue times are fine at Dia V. Many people are Dia V. I just like to play with my friends and it's not fun to play solo if there's no ranking to pursue.

They probably don't plan on reaching master/challenger.

I don't really care about DynamicQ rating, even though I don't think I can reach Master, I won't even consider trying until SoloQ comes out. And I like to play with my friends, playing alone is boring if there's no rating to chase after.

It's coming with all of the other empty promises Riot hands out like candy to small children.

Yes, please! I want to play ranked so badly but I consider DQ completely worthless as a ranking system since you don't know how people get that ranking. I want my pure solo que!

I'm waiting for solo q too, I just did placements on dynamic and don't have the motivation to play after that at all. I think that we will wait for a lot longer though.
