Am I the only one who likes Dynamic Q?

Robert Smith··11 votes·895 views

It is way better than fighting for roles, especially if you sucked in certain ones. I've read how people had other players pick support but say they just did it for a faster queue but i come across that once and they asked before doing it ( it was with me and I agreed cause fuck first pick mid). Besides longer Q times, which will be longer with a solo Q , it is not as bad as people say it is. But I'm ready for down votes or evidence to prove other wise so post your worst Q experience, with the match history too if possibly.

Dynamic Queue isn't that bad. People just got shit on be premades and hate it. I, myself, have gotten shit on by a premade and hated it. Then I realize, if you play with other people, you'll become the premade. But not everyone (like myself) likes to play ranked with their friends, so I do understand that a premade can lose to a non-premade, though it is harder. But what is ranked if it's not a challenge?

If you look at things with a positive eye, the magically seem not that bad -Midnight Karma

Some people dont get that concept unfortunately. I like being able to group with more people and have it be easier. Playing League with team work lets you play more champions and do more in depth plays by communicating. Some bitter people just want to sit in their salt mine and farm cs and flame everyone else for ruining their game

Oh look, yet another clueless people who doesn't understand the difference between Dynamic Queue and the new Champ select.

Indominus Blade2 votes

Dynamic Queue = being able to queue with 5 people. Pick intent = the new feature that you can pre-select two roles.

Learn the difference, dynamic queue is cancer.

Pick Intent is the ability to highlight which champion you plan to play before it's your turn to pick.

The new champion select (which allows you to pre-select two roles) is called Team Builder Draft or Ranked Team Builder.

Dynamic queue gives you a greater chance at not teaming with trolls/afks. Dynamic queue is a vaccine.

Yes, dynamic is bad.

The balance is totally off due to uneven premades and massive range of the mmr, making ratings a joke and individual skill lower.

dynamic is closer to normal than a true competitive mode.

So... what's the point?

According to what you've written, you like the new champion selection system, not the Dynamic Queue.

Dynamic Queue is good for people who play in premades a lot. It allows them to play as a team in the same game. It gives them teh advantage of coordinated teamwork. As for me... when I'm in a premade, I don't mind playing against other premades... but I absolutely hate to be the "fill" solo player facing a premade.

As I main support now, it absolutely sucks to face a premade botlane at my elo (plat to diamond) as two solo players. Even if it's not bot that's premade, it is still pretty hard when the enemy jungler knows your every movement, the duo asks for a TP or globals are coordinated with aggression. It makes the game unenjoyable. While our duo/etc (if we get one) may have a good easy game due to same reasons, I, a solo player, cannot. Therefore, I hate dynamic queue and don't see a point anymore in playing until pure soloq comes out - the game is just not fun anymore with teams all around and you having to face them as a solo.

I like both. I seem to play better with people who are premade with each other, even if I'm solo. But then again I can see why you might not like it

I don't think most people have a huge problem with the pre-role selection. That's a feature some people wanted for a while and is a nice merger between teambuilder and old draft pick.

That said, there are still some shortcomings to it. There's no benefit to playing more than 2 roles well. There's no option to queue for more than 2 roles but not all 5 (what if I want anything BUT X). There's people who only play 1 or 2 champions in a role they enjoy, but can't comfortably queue for that role, especially when those champs are strong (which is when they would want to play it most!) (because when they're strong they're more likely to be pick/ban leaving you without options). Queue times are necessarily longer (as someone who'd be willing to play support 10% or 20% of the time is now never playing it, etc...) (people who played support secondary up to 50% of the time are going to get sick of being assigned it every game and will choose a different secondary).

Overall though, I think the benefits of role pre-selection (never being stuck in your worst role [especially during your promos], never having an ally stuck in a bad role and feeding, overall more fun in-game because you're playing something you enjoy, arguably more competitive because of the first points) probably outweight the costs.

The problem with dynamic queue is the whole premade groups thing. I, and I'm sure a lot of other players, am getting really tired of how much Riot is pushing social play. Not to mention that their metrics are probably off on it anyways!

All of these bonus IP weekends that reward you for queuing as a group: I used to get double IP solo before on those weekends and now I can't get anything solo and need to find a group. So obviously I join chat rooms to find groups and then the groups have terrible chemistry because no one cares how good people are and you get diamonds queuing with level 17s and the games are terribly imbalanced and those weekends become even more on an IP grind. Now there are these hextech rewards that are better for people who queue as a group.

Then let's ignore the free rewards, because they are well, free, and we should just be grateful to Riot for getting anything. Dynamic queue (i.e. grouping premades) hurts ranked play a lot. Ranking loses credibility under this system (you can get carried by your 4 allies pretty easily). Getting grouped with a premade is often less fun (you're blamed for their mistakes because they won't blame eachother, if they include the jungler you're never going to be ganked for even when you need it or it's the best move, etc...). You're left out of communication in some cases (if they're on voice they won't type or ping). I'm not saying ALL premades are bad, in fact I've been queued with premades and done so well with them (and because of them) that they've invited me to queue with them for the next game (and I wish I could do more but I rarely have time to play more than 2 games in a row - but that's my problem). There's a bunch of benefits to premades (most notably you can't complain about being unable to climb due to bad luck as you can now choose all of your allies if you truly believe that's your case) but in this part I feel the costs outweigh the benefits.

I think the large majority of players are solo players, and they're feeling more and more screwed.

I agree on the anything but x-Role, I think Riot mentioned they were going to add that, along with rewards for playing unpopular roles. I've never had premade groups flame me, nor do I think it is a common occurrence which is why I asked people to post examples proving me wrong, which so far, no one has. I think people are only remember the worst which tends to happen when they want to hate something

You know what we had before DQ that solved this problem much better?

Teambuilder.

Robert Smith1 votes

There was no ranked team builder. Plus DQ is team builder with the ability to ban and counter pick something team builder did not have. I understand people wanting to go against an unorganized/uncoordinated team, or being odd man out with a premade who flames or ignores you, but team builder itself did not solve that either. DQ isnt perfect but it isn't as bad as people make it out to be

Never had to fight for roles in old Q anyway because you know, people knows how to type.

It's not like dynamic Q fixed that anyway, it just made fighting over roles less common. There are still asshats that still pick w/e they want regardless of what they Q up for.

Robert Smith1 votes

I Remember last pick usually gave you support or the unpopular role of the month. And never had someone take a role like everyone is saying, so I asked for proof to show that it happens enough times to be a problem

play enough games and you'll see. I'm not gonna screen cap every game for 'proof'.

No but 1 is all in asking for with a story behind it. Since you have so many finding one should be easy

I don't play ranked that much but I actually do like Dynamic Q since I have a few friends who want to play nothing but ranked. I like being able to que up with 2-3 other friends and give us a better chance of having a decent team then being completely by myself relying on my randoms on my team to at least go even in lane OR better yet, stay in the game and not quit.

Though I'm normally a person who plays with a premade so I don't have to deal with the solo playing with a random 4 man team to many times, but even when I do I'm generally fine since I can at least play passive and not feed my lane opponent to not care.
