DuoQ is fine since it was like that in the old system.

Trying to play ADC or Support solo for more than a few games is suffering. At least if Top/Jg are duo'ed you know that's probably the worst you're gonna get. No 4 man dives top lane or stupid ish like that.

actually...once u get into a higher elo, 4 man dives are pretty common lol. Players can communicate even without voice coms...

If my jungler has a bottom side clear in a few seconds, and i see bot building up a minion wave, i'll shove out midlane or call for a possible TP ward from top, and 4 man it bottom. pretty basic stuff, easy tower gold unless the enemy rotates too.

Have done plenty of 4 man dives or ganks in normal games coordinated through a series of pings in a non-premade team.

I would prefer a solo only ladder. It is still quite easy for a smurf to boost someone in a duo queue. Let's keep solo solo, and the boosted monkeys in bronze where they belong.

I just don't understand why it isn't solo only? There's flex q if you wanna duo.

Due to the negative perception of dynamic/flex queue, Riot is prepared for it to fail and be forced to become 5v5 only. This would leave players no place to play with a friend, which Riot does not want to have eliminated. They would likely force a pure Solo to become Solo/Duo. This would not only disrupt the queue's perception, but those people who begged for a pure solo queue would complain to high heaven about their queue being destroyed/tainted/etc. So, making it solo/duo from the start not only uses an existing queue method, but prevents the above issues, at a small cost of people whining about duos from time to time (which has always existed) which has been done infrequently to not be considered a problem.

Im sure solo is fine, the duoq excuse for supports is fucking old and still doesnt solve the issue of players getting boosted in a duoq
