SoloQ or Riot

GayFluffyUnicorn·Nov 2, 2016·5 votes·570 views

Just the title. Idgaf about downvotes or anything else. Just voicing my opinion, i'm sick of the premade bot feeding 20 deaths to the enemy team. I'm sick and tired of less and less vision in the game+role select so i get camped to death by premade jungler+solo laner. SOLO Q was promised and soloQ should be given, not only to challenger. It's a shame how riot gets praise for what exactly? Oh yeah bringing back duoQ after we already complained about premades since s2.

Just take ranked down for good if you don'T want competitive aspects in your game.

Solo/DuoQ best Q

How about you actually look up some info before making a shitty upvote farm thread

how are people this ignorant about topics they are emotionally invested in...you'd think they'd do some research before raging

Solo Q's return was announced a long time ago bud, you just gotta wait for S7

Except it's not a real solo q, it's a solo/duo q.

SlythionNov 2, 20161 votes

it's exactly as it's been in every other season (excluding s6 of course)

So? Just because something bad has existed for a long time doesn't mean it shouldn't be fixed.

Also back then there was only one ladder, so the choice was between allowing duos at all or not. This is no longer the case, there's no reasonable justification not to force duos to go into the flex queue.

duos never made the game toxic... i rarely play as a duo.. but i honestly have no issue facing duos.

belive me.. i boycotted rank this ENTIRE SEASON (after i climbed out of bronze to silver 5 so i could keep my silver banner)

i HATE dyanamic que.. it COMPLETELY ruined the ranking system. but duo que is fine.

and whay is this "

there's no reasonable justification not to force duos to go into the flex queue.

that is complete bull... being able to play with a friend sometime is fun. it is a BIG difference than having a que where as a solo player you can get paired with a 4 man premade and have a ZERO % chance to win. becuase that pre-made can flat out decide to surrender at any time and override your vote.

a large premade will also make it so your OPPONENT will be a HIGHER elo because it tried to "compensate" for the premade.. so not only are you stuck with people who refuse to talk to you in chat.. refuse to work with anyone other than their pre-made, and have to deal with then AND face harder opponents than you normally would...

also...

if duo que WAS with "flex que" i would NEVER DUO. EVER. because i'm not going through that bullsh*t again.

It gives advantages to people and allows for legitimate elo boosting. A botlane whose supp and adc practiced together and have voice coms will have an advantage over the botlane of two random strangers, same with a solo laner/jungler pair. That can't be denied. And it can and will be used by people to get to elos they couldn't go alone. All of that compromises the competitive integrity of the queue just like DQ did (yes, to a lesser extent but it still does).

This doesn't make sense at all, if you're duoing then you can't be paired with a 4 premade. Please note that you can queue for both ladders, you don't have to chose one over the other. So you could queue up for Solo q when you're soloing and hop over to the flex when whenever you want to duo, then back to Solo again. The two ladders are parallel and don't affect each other in any way.

a large premade will also make it so your OPPONENT will be a HIGHER elo because it tried to "compensate" for the premade.. so not only are you stuck with people who refuse to talk to you in chat.. refuse to work with anyone other than their pre-made, and have to deal with then AND face harder opponents than you normally would...

That goes for duos too. You are solo and get teamed up with two pairs, each on their own voicechat doing their own stuff. One of the duos have somebody 2 tiers higher than you so you get matched against a stronger opponent to compensate. Might as well be in the old DQ.

if duo que WAS with "flex que" i would NEVER DUO. EVER. because i'm not going through that bullsh*t again.

And yet you want to force soloers to go through the same bullshit with duos? Make no mistake, duo premade bullshit is the same dynamic q bullshit, only at a lesser level. Dynamic Q Bullshit Lite, but bullshit nonetheless.

... we are already getting solo/duo que in season 7

if you want a PURE? solo que without duo? no, i dont normally play with friends but i do like to have the option to play with ONE friend.

dynamic boost in season 6 was horrible, and i would honestly take a PURE solo que over that, but i think solo/duo which is what we will be getting back in season 7 is by far the best

Then go into the Flex Queue when you want to play with them. You don't have to stick with just one you know.

I agree. In my experience many duos can make or break a game. One will be a smurf on his silver account and while the other is technically silver, they were really boosted up from bronze 5. Meaning you have a gold/plat player and a b5 player who only feeds. Doesn't seem fair or fun to me.

LimmieNov 2, 20161 votes

I agree 100%. Not only are premades, even duos, bad to play with and against, they're an opening to legit boosting. It worsens the competitive integrity of the game when you can pay a master smurf to duo with you and carry you to gold or diamond or wherever the hell you want, and completely legitimately at that. Make it so that everyone only gets the rank they personally, 100% deserves without any kind of advantage at all. Make it so that the only way to get boosted is to hand over your account to somebody else, which you guys can easily detect.

Removing the dynamic Q was a good step, don't get me wrong, but it's still a half assed one when they still allow premades to go into the solo queue. And it doesn't even make sense, the new flex queue will need duos to make trios work anyway, so they're just going to shoot themselves in the foot with this.

tldr: PREMADES SHOULD STICK WITH PREMADES, SOLOERS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO CHOOSE TO ONLY PLAY WITH OTHER SOLOERS, AND LEGITIMATE BOOSTING SHOULD NOT BE A THING.
