Am I the only one that thinks that Solo Q isnt Really Solo Q anymore ?

i remember back in S4 , whenever i played solo Q i noticed something really intresting , those who snowballed the game by themselves are the ones who are going to solo carry the game, nowadays , its either you pray to god that you get a decent team , or lose the game even if you win your lane or get ahead. this is honestly super frustrating to deal with , since before , i use to solo carry games whenever i was ahead , no need for teamplay since all i needed to do was focus the right targets that were a threat to me , and win the game off eliminating them , now its matter of luck , if your lucky enough you might get a decent team on your side , but since we all know not all of us are lucky , most of the time your gonna get bad teammates and probably lose even if you performed well during laning phase or even beyond that, at this point solo Q should might as well be renamed to Teamplay Q...

I though this was going to be about the fact that "solo" que almost always has 2 or three duo's in it...

PLEASE RIOT!!! Next season make Solo que SOLO ONLY!!! If people want to group? They can play flex! I thought that was the whole point of two different ranked ques.

How to solve this problem? Quit league. Worked for me 10/10.

I started playing half way through S4 so couldnt say for sure. But it would make sense, since their esports leagues blew up so much, for them to base their direction more on teamwork for showy lcs games.

, i use to solo carry games whenever i was ahead , no need for teamplay

You're complaining that you can't play a multi-player team-based game alone.

. . . Poor you? ;p

most of the time your gonna get bad teammates

You are addressing this to a generic unspecified audience. An audience which includes you opponents. So both you and your opponents are getting bad teammates. Fortunately you're not bad, are you? Then you should have no problem winning.

... Unless you are one of those bad teammates I am getting. . . . Then poor me? ;p


Are you sure this doesn't belong in M&G's?

I find that now my potential to solo carry is lower than any one of my 4 teammates potential to solo lose in a myriad of ways.

Dont get how you carry when your whole team constantly decides to fight when they are losing, you top refuses to buy any defense when they keep dying your jg doesn't gank, not ganking cuz ur losing, but just not ganking at all any lane having no kill pressure, you bot lane just keeps fighting instead of focusing on farming and keep dying, and midlane does the same. You go Jg and gank lanes they still end up losing because they can't win without you their to carry them, you top win lane but still have no carry potential.

Your bot but no one peels for you, your winning mid but bot lost their tower so now their is three mid. This game is ultimately team game some ppl are very strong at giving other lanes leads and using it properly, and focsing the right targets in teamfights. But sometimes teams are literally hopeless like they dont teamfight properly and keep teamfighting regardless it just happens. Ppl say carry harder but teams really have a huge bearing on how much you can carry, good teams are teams that if you are good and have a good lead you can generally carry them. Amazing teams are teams that literally either carry you, or are literally on the same wavelength and play perfectly and work perfectly with you this happens. Bad teams are ones that tilt you, refuse to listen to the person carrying them, and dont allow themselves to be carried. Their are bad teams, ppl say their arent but their really are.

Played since s3, and all the changes they do force, the game around objectives more and more. Season 3 legit the only objective that mattered was towers, you could give barons to the enemy team and still win by turtling in base. Who ever gets ahead now takes all mountain / fire drakes, herald to kill your base faster, you try to turtle against them they get baron and you lose unless some miracle steal happens.

You can still snowball carry. You just need to play safe and just not die when you do. Because you give the enemy teamn 900 gold from shutdown and kill/assist, and that works against your teammates, who were already behind you. Now they are behind the enemy team because of you...

Thats a very strong reason. The team actually suffers from individuals getting ahead. Unless they can actually carry.

The biggest difference is if you're ahead now, then you must not die if you want to carry.
