@Riot what is the thinking behind this?

This upcoming season we're replacing the solo/duo queue with a dynamic group queue, where you'll be able to climb the ladder with any number of teammates, going from single participation all the way to a full team comp. There's no longer a penalty for players ranking together, so the benefits of grouping up will always prevail. You'll still need to be of similar rank to your queue-buddies, and the system is designed so that groups will almost always play against similarly grouped opponents (so if you're in a premade five, there's a 95% chance you'll run into another premade five), but now you'll be able to compete the way you want to.

Probably hands down the worst change for season 6 so far. ELO boosting is going to become ten times more rampant than it is now. Have fun being the odd man out of a 3 or 4 premade group that only cares about themselves and ignores the people that have the misfortune of getting matched with them, because thats exactly how it already works in norms already. I mean seriously what is the thinking behind this? How could this possibly be a good way to determine a players skill? Getting put at a massive disadvantage against premades with voice communication? And whats with this 95% chance of not getting matched against a 5 premade crap? it should be 100% with absolutely NO exceptions. NONE. ZERO. EVER.

Ranked teams and SoloQ have been kept separately all this time for a reason Riot.

If these changes go through I am 100%, without a doubt done with League. What an absolute joke. I thought I would give the Marksmen update a chance to balance out over the preseason but this is absolutely f^%$ing stupid. Who exactly came up with this idea?

Agree 100%, this is an awful idea. This should be implemented into the team portion of ranked for people who cannot make a full team. This ruins solo queue.

How anyone at Riot could ever think this was a good idea is so mind boggling incomprehensible I do not even have adequate words to defame them.

More of the same from Riot it seems. WAS excited for the new ranked team builder system, most likely I will never queue ranked again if this goes through.

Im pretty sure solo que players will still be primarilly placed with SOLO players 95% of the time. Even if you do get put with a team of 4, how is it going to be unfun? Are they gonna force you into a role you dont want even though part of this system is choosing a role pre-game?

I agree that it should be 100%.

Wrong. A premade of 3-4 is going to need 1-2 solo players to fill the gap. Have fun being the odd man out. If these changes go through I'm done with league

Gee, it's not like they made it easier to find friends to play with.

Course clubs can bring another level of toxicity.

I'm a somewhat flexible person so I have no idea how this will be bad at all.at this point the amount of negative thinkers this community has does not surprise me.
