being forced to party with duos/trios/quads ruins this game for me.

Games like this are truly ruining my experience in this game.

If one of them are jungle, I am ignored. (lets ignore the fact that my first choice position is jungle), and games last no longer than 20 mins with a team (usually mine) surrendering at 20.

As a mid with duo/trio team you will NEVER get help. They focus solely on each other, and either they are better then the other team and dominate, where I sit with my thumb up my ass having NO FUN...or they suck so hard that coming back is impossible.

I DO NOT want to be paired with duo/trio/quads. It ruins a solo players experience. Don't force it on me.

Add some fancy calculation into the game that records how often you play in a group, and if you are labeled a non-solo player, when you DO play solo, make them play the oddman out. (2group+2group+1)

I've posted quite a bit about this problem, and everytime i have done so, people have agreed. It isn't fun playing with duo/trios.

The sad part is how Riot is trying super hard to make people form groups. Sorry riot. I am an adult. I don't have my friend on speed dial in snapchat ready to jump on and play a game with me at a moments notice. I play when I can, and 99% of the time, out of my whole 2 other friends that play this game, they aren't around.

I will NEVER play in a group. And i don't want to have my experience ruined by a bunch of annoying kids in a group who don't play as a team because they don't feel like they have to.

teams in a team based game? this is an outrage!

You know you can ask for help using the chat, right? You can also do it nicely without saying "gank my lane dammit".

Riot is supposed to release a true solo queue. I assume that's going to happen as late as possible to force people to adjust to dynamic queue.

Maybe Dominion's sacrifice is true solo queues success.

I hear this game is a lot more fun with friends. You might consider making some.

The biggest problem is that they are encouraging people to play in groups without yet releasing the content that would help us do so.

They've yet to add solo queue, which they promised about a month ago (how hard is it to create a queue using the same assets? I have no idea).

They've also yet to add clubs, which they introduced early in the pre-season (so about 3 months ago).

They also removed ranked teams. Makes no sense.

Dropped ranked. S5 Plat IV. Now I'm struggling to stay at gold V, because guess what? I'm a solo queue player. A 5 years game with a defined play pattern shouldn't f**** their players. I expect S7 will become a MMO. Cuz more friends more fun!

i just had this like last week. We were behind but could still do something, all of a sudden we ff. i was the solo in a group of 4, and one of them had to leave facepalm the enemy team was even ridiculing them with me for how stupid the surrender was.

How is this any different than soloq? A lot of soloqers treated their entire team as if they were absolute trash and had to carry, so there was rarely any team work to begin with, any and all decisions they made were for the benefit of themselves rather than the team.
