I get why DQ isn't fun now.

I am pretty tilted at the moment, but I don't really care. I absolutely love getting destroyed by premades who single me out...not.

So I was new to League this year. I have never seen SoloQ, I started with DQ. After following this game for a few months now, I understand the DQ rage.

In my last match it was just so obvious how coordinated this team was. Mid camped me the entire game and only went for me (I was adc). I checked the tags, what do you know. The enemy adc and mid had the same tag. And I do not doubt at least one other person on the team was part of the premade, even though they denied it.

This system is so fair, Riot. Clearly. My team not being able to be as coordinated as these premades on skype completely shows how much integrity ranked has now. Not.

I didn't mind DQ at first, but I finally get why it isn't fair now. I will do my best to keep getting better as a player, but man Riot, I gave DQ a chance and I really don't like it. How am I suppose to compete against people who can communicate outside of pings and chat?

I don't think newer players are going to stick around once they have a few experiences like this. I'll get over it, but will the others?

You could always queue with another person, so what happened to you was 100% possible with solo queue as well. It's just as likely for the enemy team to have a premade as it is for your team to have a premade.

And you can actually communicate fairly well with just pings.

You weren't around for Solo Queue. I don't think it is proper for you to suggest anything regarding Pre-DQ vs DQ. You not doubting that one other person was part of the premade does not make it so. I think you are just frustrated from a loss and that's fine, but it doesn't mean you should blame the system for your own misplays.

Premades, contrary to what the forums suggest, are not always well coordinated. As Dynikus suggested, this situation is completely possible in a solo queue situation. I remember playing at the Plat II level and noticing what a major difference there was between Plat II team coordination vs Plat III and below. That was a time when my MMR was sky high and probably really close to Diamond V level MMR. This was before DQ.

The system isn't fair. You're right, but you're putting yourself in that situation. Riot isn't forcing you to play solo nor are they stopping you from making efforts towards becoming better so you can adapt to the unfair system.

For the record, people do not always listen to communication just as it is in game. The communication is more convenient but not necessarily better with voice communication software. Quality is dependent on the team's willingness to coordinate and listen to each other. This is achievable in solo queue just as with DQ.

DUO was always apart of ranked, people just don't like going up against the 3+ premades, pulling off level 4 turret dives, and crushing everyone after that.

It has nothing to do with duo q. Many people camp and focus the adc. I had a game with my bf and a friend yesterday, i was soraka and he was jg and the friend was yasuo. I know that yasuo could carry if he got fed so both me and my bf focused on him (has nothing to do that he's with us). And when yasuo was in danger i ulted and the jungler saved him and gave him a triple kill We were talking but when that happened everybody was quiet. There was no communication, just pure synergy with other teammates. You just need to learn how to synergies with other people. Start with sunergizing with other champs throughout team comps (knock ups for yas, kalista with alistar and so on) and with more experience you'll find players that have your playstyle and you can premade with them Duo q isnt stopping you from trying it
