The false promise of Solo Queue

Riot says it was a "Knee jerk reaction" (Riot pls article)

I say a blatant lie to their entire player base that has personally caused me to lose all trust in them and determined to not spend a single cent on RP. I'm sick of having things like a balanced state, or fixed items and bugs, being promised and waiting nearly a year or more for them to never come.

At this rate what can we believe anymore? Is Vel'koz's minor changes going to become a completely new kit? This season's radical and often unasked for changes has honestly made me lose a lot of love for this game and company.

damage control, they will never admit solo to be scrapped.

Dynamic will just be always "improving"

Riot telling us we enjoy dynamic queue more than solo queue reminds me of Blizzard "You think you do, but you don't". I don't have a problem with dynamic queue. The problem is that they removed solo queue, and forced dynamic queue down our throats while telling us how much we enjoy it... Why are developers so stubborn and cocky?

Well, stating that it was "a blatant lie" indicates that Riot never had the intentions of adding back Solo Q. I think that's an unfair and embellished statement to make seeing as how they acknowledged their mistake about saying that statement.

As to "being promised and waiting nearly a year...", Riot has stated multiple times about how Solo Queue was difficult to implicate and how it likely wont happen (this was after the "blatant lie" we spoke about) and so I feel as though that's another unfair and embellished statement.

You can be upset about the situation, but don't twist the situation to be upset about unmade actions. We have to be mad and raise points about legitimate things and not try to twist the situation to make up other things to be mad about

Now apparently there is an internal struggle in Riot HQ right now on whether or not to actually re-implement a Solo Que. Whether or not it wins or loses though, we won't hear anything about it. A company has to put on a face that everything is alright, you know?
