Dynamic Queue

Jhin Potion·Mar 19, 2016·3 votes·452 views

Anyone know what the point of removing ranked teams and instead letting people just play with however many people they want was? It wouldn't be an issue if the likelihood of being outnumbered was 0, but it's not. Just lost my 10th provisional due to our team of 5 solo q players having to deal with a 4 man premade, and I won't lie, it made me pretty salty. If this is going to be a thing, where is the pure solo q riot promised us ages ago now? I'd much rather go into a que where I know everyone is on an even playing field.

The only reason people are salty about Dynamic Queue is because they want to blame their losses on something other than themselves. I'm sorry, but as Riot stated, the chances of getting an unbalanced match (3,1,1 vs 4,1; 5 vs 1,1,1,1,1) is less than 1%. The exception is in very high elo, but if you were there, you wouldn't be complain about this here.

Less than 1% isn't enough, imo. Like it's not impossible to beat a premade at all, but the extra communication is still an advantage; a thing which shouldn't exist in ranked. I want it to be 0%. Not to mention a pure solo q mode (which they DID say was on its way) isn't exactly hard to make, is it?

Less than 1% means that with the amount of games you've played, it is so insanely unlikely that you would have run into a 4+1 vs 1,1,1,1,1. If it did happen, then you shouldn't expect it to happen for weeks/months, depending on how much you play the game.

A solo q mode would be great, but I don't see it solving anything except for those in high elo. It's more of a placebo than anything. People think they're gonna be matched up against a premade so they play worse.

10 games into ranked and it's happened already; I'll be sure to let you know if it happens again any time soon. Point is, even /if/ the likelihood is low, I don't understand why the likelihood exists at all. Like, sure, I'm aware that Riot is pushing the, "play with your friends," thing really hard, but not all of us want to/can always do that.

And yes, it IS worse in high elo, I will give you that. A 1/1/1/1/1 team against all of Immortals just shouldn't happen.
