How come these gimmick game modes keep coming out, but Solo Queue is dead?
As you can probably tell by your numbers, the only modes that did somewhat successful were Hextech and Urf.
The rest of the modes were pretty much flunks. So how about instead of dedicating server space to modes people don't actually want and you're using to distract the audience from things that people actually are interested in, you just, I don't know, turn solo queue back on?
I realize you're all Rioters and you're all buddies with everyone and you have tons of friends to play with. But if you actually decided, hey let's play Solo! You'd realize it's a fucking trap. There's no benefit to playing Solo, only cons. You'll always be at a loss because there's always going to be premades in your group. Not only is this imbalanced from a gameplay standpoint, it's imbalanced from a social standpoint.
These games are nothing but rotten. Instead of the classic 5 solo queuers who have their own opinions, and neutral stances, we've got 3/4 people who stick together no matter what someone says, and 1/2 people who have to sit there and deal with it the entire game. The premade doesn't feel like winning? Okay so they'll just suicide or afk farm and pretend like they're doing something. Because you can't report them. 1 report from a game is basically meaningless to your automated system.
No one cares about reporting. It practically does nothing. In the off chance you got suspended, oh darn make a new account / buy one from the 10,000 botters plagueing low level ARAMs. Verbally abuse? Go die in a ditch. Oh hey that's the guy that told me to kill myself from a week ago, glad to see he's still playing unpunished. And now I'm pissed because what I say and do suddenly means nothing. And the cycle continues because now I'm a toxic piece of shit.
But my opinion doesn't matter. I'm just a minority. And fuck the minority, Riot motto is to kill everything that doesn't travel in groups. Sing your anthem in the morning and brainwash your workers, because there's no way in hell a normal human being would be able to treat their community like this.
I guess I'll have to go make some fake friends so I don't get banned for being expressive of my opinions about unfair treatment.
