disregardable27 votesThe point is to make it seem like Riot cares when they really don't.
DeathBurst11 votesNow you can call people who don't have it "boosted animals" and blame them for all your problems.
Or alternatively, if you're a decent human being, you can just continue enjoying the game as usual (because DQ doesn't really change anything at most ELOs, despite all the sh*t-storm around it).
Diananmen Square4 votesThis.
I feel like the whole "dq is shit" is just becoming a storm of bandwagoners of the people who originally hated it.
AninLegions7771 votesYeah. It doesn't change much. Just makes the ranking system so bloody inaccurate but uno. We'll never be pros anyway so it won't matter. ^^

PiVoRx1 voteshttp://www.lolking.net/summoner/euw/64234427 s4 silver s5 silver s6 gold sudden jump of skill? i wonder..
DeathBurst1 votesThat's preposterous...
I reached level 30 in Preseason 5, which was still technically counted as S4 by LolKing. As almost every other person, I was placed in Silver at the end of my Placements, but I didn't really deserve it. Proof being that, as soon as S5 started, I got placed in low-Bronze, then progressed from Bronze to Silver during S5. And then I progressed from Silver to Gold in S6. But sure, that's a pretty big and sudden "jump of skill", just happening over 2 years...
Oh, you can also check my OP.GG if you want, it will show you that I only played 2 games in a Duo recently, that I lost both of them, and that I still have a 11-9 record. (And in fact, it was just a random guy that I happened to be matched with 2 times in a row, in early morning.)
I'm not one to hide that I regularly play in premades, and I've been pretty open about it and about defending DQ on these boards. But calling me boosted after actually checking my stats, not just as a baseline insult, that's kinda ridiculous... If you do fact-checking, at least do it properly.
xTropicalPenguin7 votesbig e-dick
Only Play Darius5 votesYou get absolutely nothing. In fact, someone mentioned that once the match scouter sites get the API hooked up premades will use the badge to target you for camps/invades as they know no one will come help you.
KoKoboto4 votesNice post, really insightful with few words. Captures the greater span of the issue.
Dr Poro4 votesBragging privilege.
It's like saying "okay, I reached Diamond now, what's my reward?" It simply shows what you have achieved and that what you achieved is real, not fake. Although, it shouldn't just be for the last 25 games but rather for the whole season as a boosted dia5 can still get a solo emblem afterwards. I hope that the solo emblems somehow persist through the next season(s). hopefully the diamond icon (and borders) for solo players is different than for boosted players.I actually mainly did it for the borders. Luv dem shiny borders.
Ulriah4 votesThe point is some youtuber cried about ''not having any recognition for playing Ranked solo'', so now SoloQ players got their form of recognition, but of course it's not enough because they're a bunch of crying babies which can never be satisfied.
Hermitthedruid3 votesNo... it's very easy. Just ship true solo-queue. But that would mean whiny boosted animals can't get carried past where they belong.
Ulriah1 votesOh right, the bullshit ''boosting'' argument, 'cause I've never heard that one before.
Only Play Darius6 votesMaybe it wouldn't be a big deal if premades didn't get better crafting, access to IP events etc. Playing with friends in a team game is already reward enough.
Ulriah1 votesBetter crafting? Like what, a slightly better chance of receiving a chest, which is capped at 1 per week anyway?
IP events? I can't even remember the last time we had one of those, maybe you have them more often in NA, but to the rest of the world they're not a big deal at all.

Blue Moon Wolf2 votesYour reward is the knowledge that you have a badge acknowledging that you like to play solo :D
Seriously though, I still think they shouldn't have even bothered releasing these things. These badges are nothing more than a data gathering tool that they could have never told us about and no one would have cared. Instead, they called it a "reward" and shipped it out, despite people not wanting them to begin with.
CerealBoxOfDoom1 votessolobadge = mark of shame
get a group badge or you shouldn't even be eligible for prizes lol
Reaper Soraka1 votesIt's the mark of 'I have no friends that will play with me in ranked queue.' [zombie-nunu-bummed]
PiVoRx1 votesor more like, "i earned my rank in fair way without help of others" but keep telling that to yourself, must work well for you
Dankstin1 votesWhen I got my mark of duo shame, I just felt worse.
At least yours is solo.
Canidae1 votesLiterally on the FAQ
"We’ve got ideas about how emblems could fold into ranked rewards, so let us know what you think about the feature as it stands, and what it could be in the future."
civil suggestions can prob go the the AskRiot page
PiVoRx1 votesI only hope those badges will carry over along with borders and icons so you know who got their rewards in fair way and who got boosted.
