ironically i can't play ranked with my friends anymore because of dynamic queue.

riot pushing playing with friends so much, not taking into account that my friends are bronze.

rip my old ranked team.

I think part of why ranked teams was broken in the first place was due to people like you. you know that though, don't you.

Well to me, ranked team was completely separate of solo skill, my team that consisted of 2 golds 1 silver and 2 plats at the time actually lost to a team that had 1 plat 3 silvers and 1 gold one time, they were way more organized than us so we stood 0 chance

This I had a team of friends were all gold/silver and got matched commonly vs teams with 3-4 some bronze/silver & 1-2 plat/diamond, it generally felt really unfair.

Because it was about the team, and not the soloQ level. Above gold team level , you would encounter mostly plat to diamond (soloQ rank)

We got placed in silver or bronze team level and it still happened, ranked 5s fucking sucked.

Not really. If he played with bronze players he would've gotten stomped

4 bronze and a gold still stomp 5 bronze.

Because there is Dynamic Queue. Riot wanted to go different route.

Because if rito had kept ranked 5s and SoloQ, nobody would play their beloved dynamicQ. It's as simple as that.

You've got a downvote but that's absolutely correct. Riot's the kind of company where instead of going back on mistakes they force you to accept them.

i gave him an upvote, phuck rito.

That's because people are quick to downvote anything that isn't "omg rito they said mean word to me". So I'm not too worried about it lol. I simply speak the truth.

It was a terrible system though. For starters, the 5 games in a row requirement made it basically impossible for a group of friends working on slightly different schedules to be even able of ranking, I mean, who had the brilliant idea of forcing a whole 5 man premade to play 5 whole games in a row? that completely reduces the target population to kids, lazy students or the like.

The worst part is we once pulled an all nighter after work to do that shit, only to face the most absurd MMR ever, this is because no one played 5v5 (see, draconian 5game restriction) and the MMR was completely independent from each players ranked MMR.

Would been cool to have a DQ, and a solo que where you can not que up with anyone. Imagine a ranked system where no one could get boosted! that sounds great to me.

Because the match making was terrible and often times you would get vastly different teams in terms off MMR. Also very little people actually played which made it even worse, so they decided to pull it.

Unfortunately however, as a solution, it was replaced with an even more terrible system, which doesn't only ruin things for 5v5 teams, but also solo players.

Good job rito.

Wait what, it's still the same if you want to climb solo or not especially in lower divisons. A player with diamond skill won't get stuck in silver becaues of dynamic Q.

There's not a difference compared to last season if you are being honest about it.

What? So when a solo player goes up against a 4-5 man premade in a regular ranked game.... This is somehow the same?

Ya know I would agree with you if it was a very rare occurrence. But it's not. From my last 40 ranked games, 29 of them had me up against premades of 3-5 players. I'm in gold too, so I don't know how much worse or better it is in bronze or diamond. From what I've heard though... solo players are getting booted out of diamond because of teams/groups demolishing them.

We're talking about 5 players only.

Then 9/40 games had full 5 man teams.

I don't even have a group and i made it to master rank, just because they have a premade means nothing. They won't have godlike synergy or anything crazy.

Sure, its totally the same that I have to play my toplane against coordinated 4 man ganks, while receiving no help whatsoever from my team.

Unfortunately, rank means absolutely nothing in this season, because thanks to DynamicGarbage, and faster leveling, ELO boost is more prevalent than ever before.

So COngrats to anyone who has diamond skill...enjoy playing with Silver players, who got boosted to Dia ^^

Too small and too similar to dynamicQ. Whether you agree with the decision or not, it's almost certainly these reasons.

LatetotheRace1 votes

Apparently it didn't see much use last season...... Because a couple small changes would have fixed it..... Anyway, it also would have taken away from the disgusting narrative DQ is trying to portray. Hopefully they revert the systems next season. This would likely work due to larger groups forming throughout the community. Groups of 3-4 players who would only need to acquire 1 or 2 other players to play it.

It's interesting to see how some posts get traction and some don't. I've posted two very similar threads in the past and they've got little to no response....

Oh well, I'm glad this topic is getting publicity now. Bring back ranked 5v5s Riot!!
