"Hey guys, we know there are a lot of players who are really passionate about solo queue. We're not trying to be dishonest or dodge this topic. Radio silence on this the past couple months has been painful, we know. We hoped to come out with a direct answer to this, but working through the problems players are facing on live now (consistency around position select, queue times and matchmaking for high MMR) is taking longer than we initially expected. We did a bad job at managing expectations around this and deserve the heat we're getting around that.

That being said, solo queue does not directly address either of these problems and could suffer from the exact same problems. We'll be honest: there's definitely a world in which solo queue doesn't return, but we'd rather keep it on the table as we work through these issues before making a final decision."

Hilarious, why would you even try to keep us happy by saying you would release SoloQ within 2 weeks after the season started if you already knew this was going to happen. Are you guys at Riot out of your minds? You are destroying the competitive aspect, ESPECIALLY in legit high elo. D1+ Why do people need to be matched against 3 man premade LCS players? Is this a joke? I didn't even have a premade in my own team and we got totally destroyed. The amount of boosting and skill variaty is HUGE. Silver v players being premade with ex-plat 1 player that is now gold 1? No problem! DynamicQ has it covered for you! :D

[{quoted}](name=Dragon Intel,realm=EUW,application-id=3ErqAdtq,discussion-id=pEko7ZFq,comment-id=,timestamp=2016-03-28T10:25:01.193+0000) there's definitely a world in which solo queue doesn't return

And this little sentence is the reason this whole circlejerk is pointless. The people whining about SoloQ right now don't want or simply can't read this properly. Socrates basically said that there is a possibility that SoloQ won't return, NOT that SoloQ won't return at all.

Yeah I thought dynamic queue would make the climbing easier, but I just love being face against 4 people in a club while my team doesn't even know what to call each other.
