Riot actually decided to throw their hardcore players under the bus for the sake of casuals.

Well, you now know where Riot's priorities lie. Riot doesn't give a shit about the most passionate part of their playerbase. They dont care about the people who stuck to this game and participated in the solo ladder each season and earned their rank.

The fact that Riot thought it was a good idea to destroy ranked integrity so that people who normally play normal games with friends can now play 'ranked' with their friends at the expense of actually good matchmaking should let you know that this game is only going to get worse.

If you consider yourself a hardcore member of this community who wants solo queue back, Im sorry but its over. You will not be getting solo queue back. Riot doesnt give a single fuck about you. Riot knows you want solo queue, and they already said they will not bring it back. You have a choice now: continue playing this shitty game and wear your little 'i played solo' badge or leave.

When someone disrespects you, you dont yell, you dont fight, you dont admit they got to you, you dont even acknowledge that person. You turn around and walk the fuck away. I havent played in a month. Im just gonna sit back and watch this game rot just like i did with wow.
