Yeah i love going something like 7-1 8-0-x and losing because the team is still bad enough compared to theirs that getting a lead isnt enough.

Unstoppable MonkMar 2, 201617 votes

Get a lead.

Watch for 15 minutes the slow struggle.

Other lanes are not even close to doing anything to possibly win the game.

The jungler is helping them the entire time and not you.

Their team knows you are the only threat and proceeds to 5 man gank you for the rest of the game.

I've seen that so many times. Or ya know, have someone pick a Teemo to pull that kind of aggro. :D Then it's a 5 man gank to the good player, which rotates back to Teemo!

The icing on the cake is when your team notices the entire enemy team in your lane, and they proceed to freeze their lanes. XD

It's always been like that, dynamic queue or not. So let's not blame dynamic queue. Remember that it's the players that make the experience garbage (That includes us). I just learn to be patient and enjoy a win or loss as much as I can.

Zero Skill TankMar 2, 201611 votes

No, before dynamic queue solo players at least had acceptable queue times

billxxMar 3, 20161 votes

Queue times have been fine for me and I live in Canada, and I rarely get more than 2 minutes. But if you're complaining about that, then grow up

Zero Skill TankMar 3, 20161 votes

? If they were 2 minutes, I wouldn't complain, but outside of player pick on server, when they are about 5, they often reach 15. I don't get why complaining about 30% of time spent outside of actual game would be childish, but if you say so...

No it hasn't been... solo queue was mostly solo besides the duo q

What riot essentially did was turn ranked into normal draft which is a total cesspool and has been for a long time

VMystikageMar 2, 20161 votes

Well I've played over 200 games and personally I haven't noticed anything different besides longer queue times and a more skewed punishment system (Premade 3 or 4 friend team will all-in report you for anything and it'll heavily impact the outcome). Skill level seems to be the same but levels of toxicity went up. Again, that's from my personal experience after 200+ games.

.. I play solo all the time in dynamic. Honestly i prefer it -_-

Same, and I find it funny that you are getting downvoted for your opinion (so here is an upvote for being honest). I have had better luck climbing solo than anything and a lot of the complaints are a little exaggerated I feel. I mean, I am a support main with Top secondary so maybe it just doesn't affect me that much, but overall I like the changes.

DreadlocksMar 3, 20161 votes

I like not going into a game worrying about getting a role i know im terrible at.. I mean, climbing last season felt so much harder cuz when i had to ADC or support I couldn't do it at the same level as i could in jungle..

Yeah, and even if I get tired of support (Which is not often) I dont mind waiting the extra time for mid pick. And a lot of the times when queue times get a lil long, simply leaving and rejoining the queue seems to fix the issue and get me into the game after another mind or two. Maybe I am just lucky

DreadlocksMar 3, 20161 votes

lol thats wut i do too.

The FastMar 2, 20165 votes

I don't have a problem with either thing here. Mind being more descriptive? I'm loving the new system.

Meep ManMar 2, 20165 votes

I haven't had all that bad of a Solo experience.

LaerethMar 2, 20161 votes

Same. Although my sample is small, its not that bad as people makes it to be.

Zenthon PrimeMar 2, 20165 votes

Yeah, it's not horrible, per say. Somewhat worse than before in terms of toxicity though, IMO.

That said I think the gameplay portion depends on what you play. I only started consistently winning like I did last season after I found the monster that is Metagolem Shyvana and found out that apparently it's easier to just beat a Lux player than learn that champ.

MrWasjigMar 3, 20161 votes

Is that Metagolem Shyvana in jungle or lane? (Given recent trends however I'm going to assume Jungle)

Zenthon PrimeMar 3, 20161 votes

Jungle. Titanic Hydra works with Sated, which is silly.

KillerKellMar 3, 20161 votes

Why is that silly? It's an On Hit Effect, which Sated works with.

Now if you suggest a largely Defensive Item has an On Hit Effect... that's a different story that you could try to argue.

But Sated SHOULD work with Hydra, specifically because it's an On-Hit Synergy.

Zenthon PrimeMar 3, 20161 votes

Oh, I'm not saying it shouldn't work. I'm saying the damage is silly.

VengefulMarvMar 3, 20165 votes

It is. Undoubtedly. It's garbage that I can check match history of teams that face-roll and see that they've got 3 or 4 man pre-mades in dynamic queue.

And don't respond with "you should queue with people too." I have a not pleasant schedule that constantly changes. I don't get to coordinate with friends to be on at certain times. I shouldn't get punished for trying to enter "solo" queue.

Quantum313Mar 2, 20163 votes

The real problem is that your team could be 10 kills and 6k gold ahead pushing down an inhib at 35 minutes. Your jungler goes a little too ham and your team gets aced trying to save him and lose because death timers are a minute long and towers are made out of wet toilet paper.

ScramrailMar 2, 20163 votes

Well if its any consolation, once solo Q gets released youll get to drink your fill of preamdes tears when their queue times skyrocket because all the solo players that are tired of toxic premades jumped ship to solo Q.

BanuvanMar 3, 20163 votes

Yea...weren't we supposed to have solo queue just 2-3 weeks after dynamic queue came out?

How's that wait for ya?

ScramrailMar 3, 20161 votes

The season is still young, so im perfectly content biding my time in normal/ARAM matches until solo Q comes out. Its a lot better than dealing with toxic premades and the laughable state of the game that exists in dynamic, that's for sure.

BanuvanMar 3, 20161 votes

I enjoy playing and depending on my mood i play what fits. Sometimes that's a relaxing ARAM game or a normal to try out a new champ or position. Sometimes it's ranked. I have learned over the years never to expect Riot to do anything they say they will in any sort of reasonable amount of time. They haven't done anything of the sort in years and they never will again.

ForeverLaxxMar 2, 20163 votes

Riot doesn't want solo players playing their game anymore. They want you to be part of a premade group, but only a premade group where the people in your team are roughly the same skill level. If any of your friends are two tiers in either direction of you, then you're not allowed to play with them. In Riot's opinion, if you're a Gold player and your friends are all Bronze, then your friends aren't good enough.

This is Riot's big plan for Dynamic Queue. Punish people for playing solo, punish people for playing with friends with a wide skill gap. Everyone except their precious pro circle-jerks and diamond in-crowd cliques get the shaft. As Riot said, "this is the future of League".

Welcome to the future.

LightwordMar 2, 20163 votes

I just want to play a role that I want to play and still have bans. Hell I got home and all I could get out of Mid main Jung secondary was jungle. Dodged the 1st game re-queued and still got Jung. This is bull, I need to practice my main role, not on bot but on people. Something needs to be done in ranked where if your playing your "OFF Role" you only have half penalties. Also the amount of game that are thrown in normal is retarded. Last night I got in a game that had 3 people under level 30. Needless to say they died all game feeding us. This is bad for the game.

The Queen ViperMar 3, 20161 votes

Totally different thing than Dynamic Queue though...

2Grim4UMar 2, 20162 votes

when you get duo trolls twice, or go up vs 3 man premades and no1 on your team is premade, you begin to realize this dynamic queue is bs.

EpikFeederMar 2, 20162 votes

In Bronzodia I notice not much of a difference. Theres so many smurfs anymore that bronze and silver are basically normals.

StephenizgodMar 2, 20161 votes

Its so strange to have such differing opinions that are seemingly equally popular.

Personally I have more issue with Solo players than with Premades. When I am playing with friends, if my teammates find out they start instantly being toxic towards us. One second its "Hey everybody" next seconds its "fucking trash duo here garbage butt fuckers" (this is an actual quote btw it was my Lux in all chat when they found out me and my friend were a duo...)

When I play Solo, its the Premades that are nicest to me. When I am being nice they reciprocate that to me. Obviously there are exceptions but this is my general experience.

UrgotToBeKiddingMar 2, 20161 votes

Yes seriously I don't even play any more unless I have to stay awake

MrWasjigMar 3, 20161 votes

Can't wait for pure Solo Q! It'll be coming out with sandbox mode I hear!

Nah, it's going live when the replay system and new Tribunal get patched in.

Zesty SchnitzelMar 3, 20161 votes

I play solo pretty much all the time and have not had any issues. Often times unless I ask it's not very apparent who is/isn't premade. There are a few games that stand out, but it's nothing as severe as what people keep saying.

I think this is just stemming from the fact that the more prevalent memories of games are the ones where you actually went against a nicely coordinated team, and you forget/dismiss the many, many games that were just fine. It is typical human behavior after all.
