Most automated telephone waiting queues are reasonably accurate with their prediction of wait time.

Check with those developers to find out how to make accuracy (and the confidence that comes with it) a part of your software.

thank the fucking genius dynamic queue

... that literally has nothing to do with Dynamic Queue (which is for ranked only), and everything to do with the New Champion Select.

normal draft is still dynamic queue, just not with rankedmmr but with normal mmr instead, people gets free reward for playing with groups thanks to the god damn hextech crafting and champ mastery, therefore people still play as premades and cause long queue times, the system prioritize filling in the premades which drastically extend the queue time.

normal draft is still dynamic queue

Normal Draft has allowed groups of 1-5 since the dawn of the game. Considering that Dynamic Queue is a new feature in Season 6, it's most certainly not Dynamic Queue

therefore people still play as premades and cause long queue times

A 4 man premade reduces queue times since they have to have all 5 rolls selected between their 4 players. That means that Support, the least played position, is covered by a 4 man team.

Long Queue times are a direct result of Riot trying to shove people who picked Support Secondary or Fill into Support the vast majority of the time. This resulted in players not choosing these roles, which resulted in the system forcing the players that did pick these roles into them more often, which resulted in fewer people picking these roles, and the cycle continues. Riot has admitted this was a naive approach and is a problem that needs to be fixed.

That problem would be worse in an all Solo Queue system, since you'd remove people who want to duo bot lane and premades large enough that they're required to pick Support.

It actually does have quite a bit to do with dynamic queue.

There's a major bug in the system that they still haven't fixed. It assigns solo players into a game under construction, and leaves them there until the game completes. If the game in question happens to have a group of 4 premades on your team, then the game will take forever to complete because it has to find a suitable team on the other side. Riot hinted at this a while back, but never explicitly confirmed it. It does, however, explain why you will get a game much faster if you cancel the queue and rejoin.
