Here's your Chance: Wanting Solo Q Back.

KillerKell·5/11/2016, 10:19:22 AM·112 votes·4,803 views

Was in another Thread and a guy put a Petition out for Solo Q.

Some one asked "Why not make a Post for this, would get much more attention".

The response? "I did, it got buried."

It. Got. Buried.

If the support for Solo Q is so freaking strong, if the numbers are so freaking huge... PROVE IT.

I keep hearing 'the majority' want Solo Q Back.

Prove it.

There are more people that play League of Legends than the Population of France. That means about 33 Million League Players World Wide.

You got 16.5+ Million that think Solo Q sucks? Really? Prove it.

Get every last single one of you in this Thread. MAKE your voice be heard.

And if it gets buried, maybe realize it's NOT the 'Majority' that wants Solo Q back.

You think Riot will ignore 16.5 Million Players? Not likely.

I'm calling your bluff. Get on YouTube. Stream on Twitch. Tweet away. Reddit, GO! Bring each and every hater of Solo Q right here.

I bet this gets buried in less than 2 Days.

You have NO MAJORITY.

But feel free to prove me, and thus Riot, wrong.

How many can you get? Can you get 10K? 100K? I doubt you get 1K.

But hey, I've been wrong before.

So... prove it.

You are truly ignorant if you think any relevant portion of the league community actually uses the boards regularly. It's also ignorant to not recognize the boards as a biased place to put a poll

Nothing against DQ, just not what I prefer for ranked. Solo Q please

OldDirtay5/11/2016, 7:29:35 PM13 votes

its almost like everyone forgot there was a poll made and soloq beat dynamic que almost 2-1 (was a straw poll)

with over 80k votes for just soloq alone in the first24-48hrs

i think ur missing the main points

first and foremost, riot wants money at the end of the day period second, if anything can be done to help #1 or stop #1 from dropping they will do it

in this case its both, they want money and dynamic que (they think) will bring them more of it because the kids (who they target with DQ) will possibly "bring in friends" to possibly spend more money on the game

end of they day they dont care, but they should

esp considering the fact that all the people who are leaving...chances are...spent money on the game more than once but now get replaced by people who may or may not even keep playing the game or spend money

i <3 soloque, dynamic is alright but not for a ranked setting, but again i think at first most people got swindled into thinking that both the new champ select and dynamic que are the same thing, they are not

soloque comes back, do u know what changes? having a 5 man on the enemy team having better communication having more equal skilled games lower que times more ranked integrity etc

what doesnt change? new champ select everything else

Someone is looking for easy upvotes......

This is by far the stupidest "SOLO QUEUE" thread ever.

The OP really thinks 33 million players uses this board.

The OP really thinks 33 million resides on the NA server.

The OP actually thinks even 50% of that supports solo queue or can even tell between DQ and the new champ select.

You have to take into account the number of people that frequent the boards as well... It's not a very high number, relatively speaking.

8 Views so far, giving it a Courtesy Bump since it's early morning. Want this to be fair.

Still waiting for all those to join in on how Dynamic Q sucks, very interested in seeing just how many will chime in, TOTAL.

From the cries around here, I should be expected about a Million if not more... and claims of the Majority would be 16.5M.

But I'd settle for 1,000 people expressing their displeasure with Dynamic Queue, that would be a start.

Mobilize. Unite. Bring your full force together.

(Umm... even if you think I'm a prick for doing this... you should likely Upvote as much as you can. Down Votes will only get it buried. Think of each Up Vote as a Vote for Solo Q.)

There is only one way of proving it and Riot would never do it because they know the end result would be in favor of solo Q.

You do the poll in the client and no one can play ranked until they have answered the question of what they would prefer.

Such an attitude to think that everyone is somehow accountable to you for proof.

RoodToob5/11/2016, 5:44:05 PM5 votes

Just want to point out you are trying to attract DQ haters, not Solo Q haters, also getting 16.5 million players on boards/reddit/twitch/youtube is unlikely because i doubt a majority of players use those platforms for league related content

Not trying to put your post down, it has the right idea, but the boards are way to small of a sample size. Personally I'm fine with either Dynamic or Solo

When a Bronze 4 (who cannot climb with the Dynamic Queue) starts an argument about the implemented Ranked System.

Grashnim5/11/2016, 10:07:48 PM3 votes

After trying the nightmare of dynamic queue for a good few months, I've quit playing LoL. I stopped buying skins after dynamic queue was released. Ultimately, not impressed, won't be playing until solo queue is back.

I inquired about gifting/selling my account. Which is against the terms; however, it does say Riot can give approval. Of course, approval wasn't given. Thus I am just sitting on a useless account to a ruined game.

Hopefully it improves.

SOLO QUE = NO ELO BOOSTING.. Can't group with that plat/diamond player if its SOLO ONLY

Wolfram Oxford5/11/2016, 6:06:07 PM3 votes

To start off the boards represents a small portion of the League of Legends community. So, getting some 16+ million players to express their dislike for the new queue system would be difficult via boards post. But what I can say about the boards community and how it represents the entirety of the LoL community is that the players who are active on here are most likely the ones with the most appreciation and adoration for the game. These people are players who LOVE the game, otherwise why else pay this much attention to a blog-like feature devoted to the game itself?

So the boards community could have some strong opinions, but often are for the right things. Honestly I don't see a lot of people getting on here and making posts because it supports changes that would not make the game better. The only ones I see doing this are a few people requesting QoL changes and buffs for their favorite champions (nothing too game-breaking), and the others are pro-dynamic queue abusers. So, if just going by the boards community, should Riot listen to the majority who request for solo queue or are at least pro solo queue? Or should they go to the strongly biased few who want to keep the dynamic queue system, not for the betterment of the game, but for their own benefit. I don't care what the reason, whether its because you are bad and need the help of others to play ranked, or if it is because you like how fast you can climb, your request and defense of dynamic queue is for the wrong reason. Meaning the answer is obvious, Riot should listen to the majority and reinstate solo queue.

I think they are feeling the dissatisfaction with DQ already...... I queue as support and even I had to wait like 8 minutes for a match....

I stopped reading at "There are more people that play League of Legends than the Population of France. That means about 33 Million League Players World Wide."

You do realize the population of France is 65+ million right? Oy vey time to take a few more social studies courses.

Ricky Spanish I5/12/2016, 3:23:58 AM3 votes

YO! you are talking nonsense now! Population of France lol. Ask their opinion officially and you will have the answer. All you do is talking bs because people that don't have any official grounds won't keep pushing for changes because they won't get anything from it. I am playing league for few years and just started using board because of the broken dynamic queue. You're like that guy who is 20-0-0 and asks the enemy to come 1v1 him at baron. WHY DON'T RIOT CREATE AN OFFICIAL TOPIC AND ASK THE OPINIONS?! You'll see the results. So you either abuse the system with your buddies or just ignorant.

I played 4 games today. 3 games I was in all solo team against premades. Not even a chance to win when 3-4 people run together and gank everything they see.

So next time before creating some bs you just did, use your brains. If you have any>?!

PS: forgot about the new chages. Mages were fine. Now riot had to buff them to the point when they are just owning every single game. We had a following patch-fix when they saw what they did. They would not change it back cuz it will look stupid. They just nerfed small things like this would change the situation. Look in gold divisions sometimes and see what's happening there. Not only your favorite top divisions that makes you the most money. Riot is going down lately. Dota 2 awaits!
