DQ supporter, but really, riot? Honest question

I find it incredibly patronizing that you claim the game can't handle multiple queues. EVERY. SINGLE. OTHER. COMPETITIVE. GAME. IN. EXISTENCE. SUPPORTS. MULTIPLE. QUEUES. Games like halo, cod, smite, madden and an endless list more, all have a FRACTION of the player base league has. All sport multiple ranked, competitive queues with good match finding times. I feel so bad for the solo players who are getting a toxic dq experience. I've had nothing but positive dq experience, even as a solo player, but I'm done telling these players they're lying. Why intentionally alienate a substantial number of your players? Why is this the hill you're dying on? Why can't there be a true solo queue, a 3's and 2's dynamic queue, and a ranked 5's queue. Perhaps this represents severe problems at highly competitive tiers, but there's the 99.9% of your players who could do nothing but benefit from this. Don't tell us a game with millions and millions of players can't support two or three queues. It's insulting. Anyways, I'm going to continue to enjoy DQ, but lament the pain of so many tens of thousands of players you've chosen to ostracize.

Those games are different. They have a few hundred or thousand servers running with the same 8 people each game. They don't have to empty the server after one game and find another two people for each role.

I'm still not sure what was wrong with Solo/Duo, Fives, and Threes. There was already a ranked queue for everything aside from a 4-man premade. One of course Normals and Team Builder covered the non-ranked experience.

What problem was DQ supposed to solve?

well... now you know league is dying when you have a pro dynamic queue player pleading to riot to save its fan base...

This needs more upvotes.

Ok, something a lot of people don't seem to understand:

Dynamic Queue isn't necessarily the same thing as role selection. You can still have a SoloQ system where you choose your role before you queue up if Riot just implements it. Solo players in the DQ system already do this. It doesn't have to be the exact same "pick order or call order?!" system as it used to be.

Its not that it cant support it. They cant coexist together. For obvious reasons.
