Honestly I want to do this myself because despite the fact that I want soloQ as well, these threads are getting incredibly redundant.

It's about beating the fuck out of a dead horse and karma whoring.

It's probably b/c Riot won't respond to anything b/c they aren't bringing Solo Queue back. Look at SKT skins; within days they addressed it.

LemurKickApr 14, 20162 votes

Because Riot has already talked about Solo Queue and a thousand posts a day about it isn't going to make them magically have something else to say.

Leon EtoileApr 14, 20162 votes

Actually, they haven't talked about Solo Queue. They keep giving vague answers avoiding an actual answer. They know it won't be brought back; they just want not address it expecting people to gradual cool down about it. The later they break it to us/never answer it; the worse it will be.

I agree...within days they said SKT skins were being delayed after the boards and reddit blew up about it but Solo Que....... yea it isn't coming back. I don't think Riot cares to much about what we are saying; the latest stat for viewing hours during Esport's events keep getting larger and larger after each major event as well as still being EXTREMELY profitable as a company. Until those two factors decline they will not invest THEIR money in bringing back Solo Que and then it may be to late for them.

Another Runescape???

Because the boards are a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny minority compared to the rest of League of Legends players. lol

Your sample size is immensely tiny compared to the millions playing this game.

My sample size? Loves dynamic queue.

The boards represent only the people posting on the boards.

That's it.

blaketrainApr 18, 20161 votes

The fact that the boards represents such a tiny precent of thoes who play league and most of everyone posting on boards wants solo q, or misses playing it, speaks for its self. its fine that there are people who like dynamic q but you cant be ignorant to the fact that there are alot of people who miss playing solo q.

MasochistApr 22, 20161 votes

I'm sure a lot of people do miss playing soloqueue.

But they are so tiny in numbers as to not really matter.

That sucks, but that's the way life goes.

Maybe, but its going to be the sheer volume of outcry over this that will help motivate them to do something about it, not staying silent or contained.

Like with so much else, Riot is trying to force people to conform to their views on how people should think and act.

Nobody is forcing you to play with anyone. You aren't going to be facing a 5 man every game if you're soloq. A lot of people have fabricated stories to make their point seem true.

What? You don't have to play with anoyne in DQ, you can opt into playing alone if that's what you prefer.

General Esdeath Apr 14, 20162 votes

And fight premades of 3+ while your team is all solo? Fight people elo boosting? That'll be fun.

Advantages of playing with friends:

You control the MMR difference. If you play solo you might end up on a premade team of gold 1s and silver 5s (which means there will be multiple silvers on both teams). If you ARE the premade, you can choose to only play with people within 1 or 2 divisions of yourself, making matchmaking more fair and predictable.
Even if it's only 2 man or 3 man, you have a higher chance at your primary role than you do solo. As jungle/mid, I get my role about 50% of the time solo, and 90% of the time as a premade 3 man.
You won't end up with the shit end of the stick on a 4 man premade. And if you are a 4-man premade, you can make sure you are queued with people who will treat the random fairly (using pings, not raging at him, not isolating him by only communicating on voice chat, not being a gold queued with 3 silvers, etc)
If you ARE the premade, you have less chance of having shitty solo players on your team who got carried way higher than they belong by their friends, and then went on to play solo and ruin a ton of games. ie: Not only do you have "less feeders" but even if your premade feeds... At least they aren't boosted. Also, since more people got their primary role, your premade has less chance of feeding anyway.

I could go on....

Solo queuers are at an EXTREME disadvantage.

For me, even just the "higher chance at primary role on a premade" is huge.
