Cut DQ some slack

Dicerson··2 votes·528 views

I wish people would stop ratting on the new system.

My games have never been better with it, I've had fewer trolls, better teammates, never had to deal with being forced into a lane I didn't want (I have played each of the 5 roles, I can do all of them but sometimes I have a preference, and when that is broke its much more difficult for me), and my games have been getting closer and closer, with less complete stomps.

I have seen only one downside to this system, one and ONLY ONE.

My queue times are much much longer. Like 5 or 6 minutes on average.

But you know what? I'm fine with that. I'm fine with waiting longer for a game that I know with 90% certainty is going to be a good game, even if I don't necessarily win it. That is a price I am willing to pay.

And if you are too impatient to accept that, then too bad. Not everything in this world is an instant must happen super quick thing. Good things take time. Stop whining.

People have every right to whine after Riot lied about Solo que.

The problem I have with the DQ (and other recent changes) is that it excludes solo players in unnecessary ways, which isn't fair and feels as though Rito doesn't care about us (which they probably don't considering the recent comments about Solo Que possibilities)

Just because you aren't affected by our problems doesn't mean it's ok to tell us these problems don't exist. Get off your high-horse and realize that the system is excluding a group of players and that's not ok in the slightest

Who is being excluded, exactly?

Blind pick still exists, and you aren't forced to play in groups. I've been soloqueing for quite awhile now, and I sure as hell don't feel excluded. I simply fail to see any of the issues people brought up. Soloqueue exists, it called go into queue by yourself.

Well for one (and this isn't DQ related), solo players don't even get the same drop chance as team players with Hextech Crafting. That in itself is a huge "F you Solo players" from Riot. Also the fact that player communication between teams and solo players are crap and solo players are experiencing higher rates of flames from the 4-man premade groups that need a scapegoat for their loss.

Your idea of "just use blind pick" is a perfect example of Solo player's positions right now. The solution is to stop using a really cool champ select screen and strategy of champ select if they don't like how they're being treated? How is that not excluding a playerbase? I don't mind solo q'ing (it's what I usually do) and find it easy to work myself into 4-man premade's communications but that doesn't mean the problem isn't there for other solo q'ers.

I don't think anyone hates dynamic queue, but they hate the fact they are forced to play in a mode that they don't want to in order to play ranked. I like dynamic queue and I hope it works out, but why should I be forced as a solo player to play with or against premades instead of other solo players and have my rank skewed because of it?

The majority of players in this game play solo, it's absolutely nonsense to not have a mode where you're ranked based on your individual contribution towards games, it's just watering down League of Legends competitive integrity.

Edit: I said duo queue instead of dynamic O.o

Thank you, finally some clarification on the issue.

Before those two posts, literally all I ever saw was people saying what basically amounted to "I don't like it".

Also I never said just go into blind pick, I mentioned it and can see why you would see the implication, but I meant just go into DQ by yourself.

Riot gave the statistics themselves, the statistical likelihood of two teams with uneven premade distributions fighting is insanely low. Which means that even if you are the solo player with a group of 4, the other team is most likely in the same exact boat. same with 3/2 premade distributions

Also, the key fragment thing is a problem with hextech crafting, not the dynamic queue.
