is duoQ unhealthy for league?

sseltneler·12/27/2017, 8:31:19 AM·19 votes·2,442 views

i want riot acknowledge that duoQ is complete BULLSHIT/unfair/unfun. it only allows for boosting and premades getting laughably easy wins, premades can troll a game and vote no all game if they wish while staying silent and reporting people that flamed them for trolling. what do soloQ get? nothing + a autofilled support. are there not other queues for premades or what? is this the reason we cant have soloQ? if thats the case i understand. its NOT fun getting victimized as a toplaner by a jungler+top premade. its NOT fun getting completely fucked by a duoQ braum+draven, its NOT fun slowly losing a game to a lulu+kog or twitch+janna, its NOT fun being a midlaner/jungler when the enemy mid+jungle are premade and heading botlane.

people who cant justify their own bullshit stay silent and thats exactly what riot are doing. they are hoping threads like these die off so that we eventualy forget. i understand that your not allowed to admit stuff on riot accounts, but i at least hope one of you rioters post on an anonymous account agreeing with how bullshit it is.

i dont care how frustrated and not very constructive this post sounds, i just want riot to admit that duoQ is BULLSHIT after all these years even if they dont implement soloQ. i dont hate riot, i love them overall. i just hate that they allow duoQ's and boosters to thrive, i know they ban boosters but they can fix that with soloQ aswell.

It pretty much is bullshit, but it would make the game less fun for many people if it were removed. So don't count on it.

No.

I shouldn't be forced into Normals If I want to play with a friend.

You really wanna use Jagex as an example?

Adding micro transactions despite the outcry not to. Then releasing EOC even though the community HATED it.

They only admitted it was a mistake after they LOST OVER HALF THEIR PLAYERBASE.

The only reason OSRS was made was because their main game become pretty much unplayable.

DuoQ has pretty much ALWAYS existed, it’s not like Riot just added it. When Rioted added Dynanic Queue they also admitted it was a mistake, but at least they reverted it.

i hope a rioter uses an anonymous account and agrees with my post. we know how they arent allowed to agree with posts like this on their riot accounts, infact they ignore it cause they cant justify their own bullshit ways.

There's no better feeling than playing solo and getting camped by the jungler who is premade with the enemy laner [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Is this the same thing it was with dynamicQ? "Buuuh I can't climb cause the enemy has premades", and now after the remove of dynamicQ they still stuck in silver cause they just suck.

I knew it.

I fucking knew it.

The second they announced that dynamic queue was going away at the start of the season, I knew that the next thing rank stuck players would complain about was duo queue.

And it’s still as bullshit as them complaining that they were low ranked because of premades in dynamic queue.

Here’s a tip: if you think you deserve a higher rank, but you are consistently stagnating at a lower one, you are placed correctly.

Duo Q has never been unfair...

We all know how fun it is when there is a botlane duo vs an autofilled one.

Why do you assume that every duo queue is going to troll and silently report flamers?

I can assure you that this is not the case with every pair of players who queue together.

Edit:

_ And Riot stays silent on a lot of things on the boards. Your post is not some special case that is being ignored by itself._

Posting in such an inflammatory manner and literally flaming Riot over this situation is actually more likely to keep them from responding, because who ever wants to engage in conversation with someone who is already expressing hatred towards them?

If you want a Rioter response maybe try being less inflammatory first.

i agree duo q is total bullshit, u auto lose game vs any premade ,it's called " solo q" i dont know why u can duo in it

I dont mind Duo Queues.. However maybe they should limit it to all ranked games except when someone is in a promo.. make the person earn those promos... I like the fact that they put a max ranked lvl of 1 medal league so booster cant stay at their diamond lvl mains and boost the bronze thru golds up as easy.. it still happens.. but u wont be able to stop that regardless... I have no issues with Auto Fill cause i play support usually anyways.. so i always get my roles... One thing id like to see changed is IF the other team has a queue dodger then we all keep our roles and our team.. If for whatever reason you dont like your players you dont need to accept the re queue prompt...

duo q. aaah;. the cancer gatekeeping method of anything higher than D5.

Mojihito66612/27/2017, 1:09:15 PM1 votes

I noticed 80% problems with solo Q Ranked matchmaking is with duo.

It is normal to get in your team gold 5 36% winrate renekton when you are plat 3.

Akaïsa12/27/2017, 4:57:37 PM1 votes

You say this, but there's ALWAYS that one player to say "Never won a game with a premade in my team". So I guess everyone has his own game experience ¯_(ツ)_/¯

FourVsFive12/27/2017, 6:24:00 PM1 votes

Why don't they just try it for one season where solo que is only solo? if yah want to play with friends then we got flex.

They know it's BS that's why when HotS lets players see in loading screen who is in which groups of players they choose not to since if they did, it would mean they would allow the non-detective players to be wiser about the effect the duo Q is having on game health.
