My Dynamic Queue rant.

I have been playing this game since s2, the forum never really appealed to me, but with the current state of the game i really need to vent my thoughts.

Since the release of LoL, i have been playing allmost exclusively Solo, never really had any ambitions of getting high in the ladder, once i get to Gold - id ussualy stop playing Ranked. So far id get to there either from placements alone or with 5-10 aditional games at most. This season however took me 50ish games ... and i must say for a solo player it was truly a miserable experience. Being forced to play against (or with) random premade in this competative environment doesnt feel right and definetly doesnt feel fair to me.

As it states in the begining i dont really care much for Ranked, however ... it might be just me but doesnt the DQ system make Rank meaningless?!? At the very least if you dont split the Queues at least split the ladders or something to show how you got to X Division/ELO, putting them in the same ladder its just stupid, considering this are 3 different styles of playing, ergo the progress of a Solo player cant be calculated the same way as a 5 man premade or Dynamic Trio for example.(And no this badges you implemented dont even come close to solving the problem) in my eyes Ranked right now is just a more Tryhard normal + Hollow Rewards.

And the biggest issue however is the general attitude for the solo players:,

  1. Being forced to play with premades without your consent its just ... ugh shivers ... if you play vs premade you get to deal with coordinated play witch usually leads to a forcefull entry in the exit of your digestive system, if you play with a premade you are a third wheel trying to fit in their game plan while you are being isolated(no chat , no help ... nothing, and if are unlucky enough to be in a Multycultual and Multylingual enviornment like EUW this gets to a whole new level). Long story short if you are a solo player it sux playing with premades.

  2. The feeling i get from Riot right now is that Solo Player = Filler and nothing more. Premade players get to play the game their own way , get IP bonus events, get more key fragments and boxes(That they dont deserve, mind you! I dunno why but it bothers me getting a free box for X champion when you can hardly even score a D+ with him). Meanwhile - what are the perks of playing Solo and filling in so that the premade master race can have fun? There was Ghostcrawler statement not too long ago among the lines of : "We cant go ahead and say - Yeah this is a failure, let’s just turn it off and go back to what we had before - there are a lot of players that love dynamic queue, we cant just take it away from them."

Well ... la di da ... i wish someone though about that when they took it away from the solo players. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

No wonder that there is such a Solo players outcry in LoL related media. With this attitude - you will slowly but surely alienate the solo player community to the point that they will just leave.

3.And last but not least - ITS.JUST.NOT.FAIR! This is the feel i get. You cant convince me that matching solo players and premades can lead to even and fun game.

_This about wraps it up. I know forums are flooded with Dynamic/Solo q threads ,but i had to get it out of my system, thanks for listening and i apologize for the bad english and spelling errors(Im sure there are plenty ). Have a great day. _ [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

I absolutely agree. As a Japanese player I already feel left out most of the time. When you get a group together who are talking with voice, it's even worse. If Japan had more players this might not be a problem, but as long as I play on NA, I have a feeling most teams will have at least two or three premades.
