@Riot, almost a week now has passed beyond Solo/Duo Queue's release date, why the silence?

I've been looking forward to the much anticipated return of Solo queue, much like most of us have been. Now, it's a few days past the supposed release date and NOTHING. No solo queue, no news, no Riot responses or updates, nada, zip. I swear if they pulled the plug on it at the last second, I will not continue playing or supporting this game again. I am not a fan of the new wacky client, nor being in the dark on the ONE THING that put a smile on my face and gave me the same excitement of playing league in the first place, Solo Queue.

There is a massive fan base that wants it back I know, so why is it so hard is it to give an update or tell us it is delayed or w/e? This game was built off of the solo player's. Early ranked games had no teams competing, it was all individual skill at its finest. The best player's hit the top of the ladders, formed alliances, built friendships, and created teams off of them. Then the dreadful news that it was removed almost made me quit. How could you guys remove the heart and soul of this game? Now it's nearing the end of 2016, Solo/Duo was to make a return, and the game was to be fun again for the solo guys...

But, it now seems like a giant lie. I'm not surprised though. Just want an explanation so I can move on is all.
