Dynamic Queue - a Soapbox we can all stand on

RookPusher·Jul 7, 2016·5 votes·406 views

Is it me, or does it seem like an abnormal amount of "I hate dymanic queue" threads are popping up?

I think kids are looking for applause
it's clear this is the direction the larger gaming community is going in. Stop being on the wrong side of history
Focus on things that can improve the game.

Hate all you want to, but your gut-reaction isn't' going to trump data and money. Unless you just want to read your own writing, you're better served fighting a battle you can win.

This.This.This.This.This.This.This.

Stop sitting in the sandbox crying that you lost your toy and instead try to come up with valid solutions that benefit the game as a whole while satisfying whatever it is you feel has been taken away.

Are you suggesting we hire poodlecorp to help us?

I don't follow the cult of personalities on here, man. I don't know what that means. I'm just trying to help some people out.

You can be "right" and do nothing. Or you can sell out and actually change things for the better.

poodlecorp is the guy who teamed with lizards and brought down the servers last sunday for over 4 hours.

What data? All valid numbers show that dynamic queue has been worse than solo queue and that the majority of pretty much every subset of the community prefers solo queue to dynamic queue.

What "valid numbers"? I want links and sources. I can link you to Riot statements and graphs, you can dismiss them as "not valid" all you want, but at least they are here in the open for everyone to see and check by themselves. Show me your proof.

I'm curious to see sources from both sides, since I joined after Dynamic Queue was instituted and really haven't been following the debate that closely. Mind linking those statements and graphs you mentioned?

Sure.

Reactions and answer re: the previous link: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/4m7r9o/dynamic_q_megathread/d3twf2z and all following comments by Rioters **Especially THIS comment with hard data regarding the surveys Riot conducted: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/4m7r9o/dynamic_q_megathread/d3v7l50?context=1 ** EDIT: damned, this is not the comment I thought it was. There are a few numbers, but the one I remember had the full break-down of percentage for each of the 5 answers possible, from strong agree to strong disagree.

Riot's graphs themselves show that dynamic queue has problems. And honestly, do you really need somebody to spoon feed you numbers about win percentages for premades vs solo players, poll results for dynamic vs solo, lists of youtubers/streamers/pro players that have come out against getting rid of solo queue while I don't know if I've even heard of a single one who agreed with the removal of solo queue. Pretty much everybody is well aware of the reality of these results without somebody having to prove the obvious.

Riot's graphs show that there are technical issues that are improving. They do not show that DQ is "obviously" the monstrosity that everyone on these bloody boards is describing.

As far as youtubers/streamers/pro, they have good reasons to complain, because they are the main group affected by the issues above, but they are affecting less than 3% of the Ranked player base, so that's the epitome of "vocal minority". All the Gold and Plat are just band-wagoning, and the so-called "ranked integrity" is just a bloody buzz word.
