"Quote:
now that we have 2 ranked queues, why not make soloq full solo?
We got almost unilateral pushback from pros and high ranked players. A pure solo queue can get pretty lonesome for many, as well as the opportunity to practice bot lane synergies, etc.
Someone asked this internally as well, and Ghostcrawler's response was:
"We also didn't want to reinforce, even in solo queue, that LoL is a game where that you can really just play solo and try and ignore or minimize the other folks on the team. You can never have a pure experience, even in solo queue. The exception is challenger, which is a necessary compromise to preserve reasonable queue times, not because challenger is somehow more pure and therefore deserves real solo."
Why do they have to force duos upon solo players for the sake of avoiding feelings of loneliness and practicing bot lane synergy?
Can't they just go into the Flex Queue for that? Seems like a poor excuse for not taking that small extra step to make Solo Queue perfect.
Chances are when the pro and high ranked players were asked this, they weren't informed of the Flex Queue being an option you could choose alongside Solo Queue, I could be wrong though.
