'Dynamic Queue isn't an indicator of Skill'

Clearly the point is that the type of skill Riot wants to measure and encourage is communication, teamwork, and working with a group of people who may themselves be a premade while you are solo.

I get that it might not be the type of 'skill' you value if all you considered a rank to be is a Flashy Solo Plays Rating, but hey guess what - plenty of people are perfectly happy with the idea of teamwork being a significant part of the measurement of skill as it pertains to league of legends.

If you still want to play solo thats fine, but the new system will take into consideration your ability to play with and against premades when it calculates your skill rating from now on.

That's not 'losing the integrity of ranked', that's just another meta shift like all others before. And like all other meta shifts, you must adapt or fall in the standings. If every person who can't live without soloq leaves league, the remaining players will still be plenty happy to have dynamic queue and new players who join will have no problem with it either because it will have always been that way for them.

It's not in the hands of a solo player to communicate with a premade. If a premade doesn't want to communicate with the solo(es), it isn't going to happen.

So your argument is that there was no teamwork in solo queue and is in dynamic queue?

Not to Riot - they don't want that option to exist.

Why are you people so fucking selfish? Why can't you let people who want to have solo queue have solo queue? Why do you get so angry that other people enjoy things you don't and don't enjoy things you do?

"Having friends who are really good at the game is an indicator of your own skill :^)"

Premades are already communicating, and solos are still not. How does dynamic queue improves that?

The point to solo queue is show casing individual skill, ranked 5s was for show casing teamwork and need to be divided as 2 separate queues

Leagues player base is in decline not increasing so your statement of the new replacing the old is bogus. And team ranked was about the skill of your team and improving it. Solo/duo was about you and maybe a buddy to either babysit in bot or as jung and show your might and improving it. And if every player whom preferred dynamic queue left solo queue players wouldn't care about about the difference. Team ranked is for teams. Solo/duo is for solos and duos. The integrity was showing where your personal mechanics lay.
