Riot, since you're effectively screwing over pure SOLO Queue players with this delayed release, you

Start everyone at their current MMR or the lowest division for the League that they're in currently, from Dynamic Queue, in Solo Queue.

What you're doing by delaying this is effectively giving Solo Queue absolutely no chance for success. People like myself, who would much rather be playing Solo than Dynamic, are now incentivized to not even play it since it's being released so late. We already started our climb. We'll have to start all over, way back down in ranking, and it's because of you guys.

It's unfortunate that this even has to be considered, since rankings will be skewed, but at least we can hope pure solo will correct and fix them as time goes on.

Spoiler: They aren't going to do this, the people who want to enjoy Solo Queue will be stressed by having to restart and not do it, and Riot will say, "We told you so! No one even liked Solo Queue!" and it will disappear completely.

Yeah I was really excited for solo queue to come out, and I still am excited. But I'm getting the feeling that Riot doesn't want it to succeed and might even be purposely trying to make it fail so they can remove it again and say "I told you so" like you said. I've heard they're going to have no rewards for solo queue in order to basically force most people to play dynamic. I don't know if thats really true though.

I'm actually ok with playing placements again though because I don't want people's messed up skewed rankings from dynamic to go over to solo queue. To be fair though they did say it would come in a "few weeks" and that was only 2 weeks ago so I'm still hoping for the best. I don't play for rewards like skins and stuff I just play for the ranking, but no rewards would definitely drive a lot of people away from solo queue.

I play solo in Dynamic Queue and I have no problem at all.

I am pretty hopeful that it will be out soon.I personally am hoping that if they wait a little longer the "new shiny" of dynamic que will be over and it will get the fairest possible chance to succeed. I am waiting for pure solo que to do my placements because I do not want to do my placements being the 5th guy with a premade 4 man every game.

I am sorry but why should I be punished for the people that queue up dynamic? I have ran solo for 95% of my games. Why should my MMR be screwed over? Also I am pretty sure they said that if you went into to solo queue your dynamic queue rating is where you would be placed.

This is why I am not touching ranked at all until soloQ comes back.

Don't need no Dynamic Qancer.
