Ranked Solo Q vs Dynamic Q Question

A lot of people feel disatisified with the lack of an Solo Q, but I just want to ask. Since premades are common now while playing ranked, is Dynamic Q as good an indicator of individual skill as Solo Q?

Well, Dynamic Queue rewards team skills more than a Solo Queue would. So Dynamic Queue won't be as good an indicator of individual (non-team) skill.

not rly because as premades you will play with and against solo players ; it will reward them yes, but the elo they will gain is not the elo they should have in a full premade environnement

Just to be clear, if you are comparing Dynamic Queue to a Team Queue, then the Team queue would be a better measure of team skill than Dynamic Queue is. But if you are comparing a pure solo queue to Dynamic Queue, then yes, Dynamic Queue is a better measure of team skill than a pure solo queue would be.

Moreover, arguing that a different queue is a better measure for some skills doesn't mean that an existing queue doesn't measure those skills at all. Solo players in Dynamic Queue are still going to get ranked at around the same level they would be ranked at in a pure solo queue. Teaming up for dynamic queue can move you higher or lower. People always seem to think that teaming up will get you more, but, ime, that is not the case. Maybe things are different near the top of the ladder though.
