What about Ranked 5's?

If there's one queue we've heard less about than solo queue, it's ranked 5's.

The original plan was for two queues: Dynamic Queue and Ranked 5's.

Riot's knee-jerk reaction to the clamoring for solo queue was "oh crap, we'd better give them what they want!" and they postponed ranked 5's to bring solo queue back SoonTM. Now they're going back on clarifying what they said, and saying things like "in a perfect world we only need one queue."

But what about ranked 5's? Given all that happened, does that mean it will never come back? I think ranked 5's was the apex of the team-centric environment that Riot is aiming for with Dynamic queue, has no queue time or role selection issues, and has complete competitive integrity.

So can we get some word on it?

They messed it all up. Would have been better to leave things the way they were. Their vision doesn't make any sense. This game is about personalities on twitch, etc... people want to know what the individual skill is, not dynamic groupies.

No it wasn't. Dynamic Queue was set up to replace ranked 5s

"...the Ranked Teams queue skips the 2016 season while we begin work to integrate the full team experience into Dynamic Ranked."

SKIPS. Meaning it will return. Perhaps as an "integrated experience," but return nonetheless. That's the last I heard/read about it. Source: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/miscellaneous/HGblb9fH-the-2016-ranked-season-updates-on-dynamic-ranked-and-your-feedback
