These badges are just band-aid "solutions" to attempt to satisfy solo Q players. Bring back Solo Queue.

True. But if Riot brings back solo queue and leaves in dynamic, it'll be literally impossible to find groups in dynamic because the only people playing will have a 3+ group. I feel like they should just remove dynamic queue entirely and make it solo/duo and ranked teams as 2 separate queues again. It's impossible to balance it because dynamics are playing a different game than solos. They're playing a far more team-based game, where they have a voice call usually and can cover up weak links and decide their picks beforehand, meanwhile solos are playing for themselves, to prove their personal skill, not how well they can play in a team. To have the two in the same queue is like putting diamond players against bronze players. Even if the queue system finds solo players who are higher rank than the dynamics for the dynamics to play with, the superior communication, likely superior picks, and superior tactics available to them (for example, Shen ulting to a stealth champion while they're invisible, really only possible to pull off with a voice chat because of the coordination required) make it so that the dynamic group has a far higher chance of winning until you get to high ELO, where the communication advantage doesn't matter as much. All in all, dynamic queue in lower ranks makes it impossible for the solo players to even stand a chance no matter what they do unless the dynamics are just garbage, while in higher ranks the solos will probably win because the communication advantage doesn't matter as much and the queue gives them higher ELO players to play against. Riot has said that they did plan to bring back solo queue, but after seeing the numbers, decided against it. Some of the biggest problems they addressed were the long queue times. Queue times wouldn't be as long if half the League population didn't hate dynamic queue so much they refused to play draft/ranked, while the other half hates it but plays it anyways or likes it (like me). Personally, I prefer playing draft over blind and I really enjoy getting guaranteed to be in one of my best 2 roles. But when I'm sitting in queue for longer than I would be queued mid lane in Team Builder, there's a bit of a problem. Not so much of a problem that I would play blind over it, though, because I don't like being forced to support because I don't have adc/jungle copied so that I can instantly click, hit CTRL + V, and call my role. Overall, just dynamic queue is a mess that Riot refuses to clean up by putting the stuff away and instead they just keep adding to the mess.

Here is your daily non sense complain about a guy who isn't able to climb and communicate to his mate so the fault obviously goes to the system

the badges are worse, at least in solo que i could duo with my friends once in a while, now i can't because if i duo even 1 game it will give me the "boosted" badge..

Yep, DQ sucks. Nothing worse than as a solo player getting matched against a premade with heavy CC or divers. Might as well forget it as a Jungler. Sure is fun though when you are on the advantaged side.

Hueh, I don't even care about ranked anymore, I just play bots/normals nowadays, I've found it's more fun to just play for fun than this competitive BS that just gives me headaches and is 100% rage inducing because of extremely versatile champions pushing out all the champs I actually like, balance issues and DQ.
