Remember at the beginning of the season

Dynamic Q lengths were like old soloq,about 1-2 mins average,if not shorter.

The only reason I can see why they would increase is if a certain group of players have stopped playing...as much.

If I 4 man q it sometimes takes me 5-10 mins to find a player at times.

3 man q is like a 3-5 minute wait.

So I wonder,when Riot says "we will lower queue times".How is that even possible?If a certain group of players are necessary to lower the queue times,and are not present,I am curious as to how they will fix this?

Personally I believe they are pressing the truth,as the issue isnt anything they can really solve on their end,but rather a player-base issue.

yeah. solo players have been neglected and aliented.

4 man premades still exist

And at the start of the season it was much more common for full solo teams to go against full premades. That's why it's gotten longer, so that it takes the extra time to find an equal premade group

They're gonna shorten it by increasing the margin of MMR matching. In other words, if the old system said "Nobody can be over or under 200 MMR from the average" it's now changed from 200 to 300. Meaning more people (Either too good or too bad compared to that elo) will be in our games.

BRING BACK SOLO QUEUE

To lower queue times, they widen the MMR range you can be placed with, leading to shittier and shittier games if you don't belong with either of the extremes. :)

Oh, they could solve it. Any time they wanted. They just have to out dynQ into the trashcan, where it belongs along with their ideas of an ADC + TankAnything meta, huge deathtimers and paper towers.

There is a huge riot thread explaining this in a logical way that's easy to understand. Too lazy to find it and link it.

The only thing I hate, that happens 90% of the time, is going against or being with a 3-4 man premade vs or with 2 duos and a solo, or 3 solos and duo. In either respect is grossly unfair most the time.

If you que as 3-4, you should be matched AGAINST a 3-4. Its that easy. Fuck you if you have to wait longer, your cheesing hard already accept the wait for a real game.
