A few things this game NEEDS back.

  2. DQ destroyed
  3. DQ deleted.

No but seriously DQ needs to be reworked for a Solo Q mode and then DQ for itself and let the community sort out the rest, and if DQ dies, then its obviously the inferior mode.

But a few things this game REALLY needs in my opinion, and why.

  1. Team Builder NEEDS to come back. Why? Well lets say you watched Crayocraptor and want to play some Teemo Smite+Ignite Jungle, and dont want to get flamed into oblivion, you can do so with team builder and get accepted into someones team who doesnt care, or build your own with plenty of randoms who are also trying out things in different role. With that said, how many times have people bought champs, setup rune pages, get into a game to get that role swiped from them, or people go "ugh karma top, really?" or something along those lines. Team Builder was the best way to get a live game with your new champ, you get that champ, in that role, in a team thats okay with it, and in normals!

  2. Sandbox Mode. Really? How isnt this a thing yet. Just go into the Custom Games menu, and allow you to set level, current gold, and maybe even XP/Stat modifiers with Dragon/Baron Buffs. Who doesnt want to see lvl 18 Nasus with 10k stats vs a Veigar with 50k AP, or find out whos stronger, lvl 18 Nocturne or lvl 18 Olaf, without grinding 25 minutes to figure it out?

  3. Replay System of recent games. Now i understand that if every play had every single game recorded, it would be a big chunk of data to micromanage, but theres plenty of third party software, that is questionably bannable i hear. Why dont they make it where your last 5 games are recorded (when you start playing your 6th game, the game you had 5 games prior is erased), with that said, at any point before the 6th game, you can watch those 5 games, and save them to your harddrive yourself.

  4. Yes.... OFC im going back to the top. Dynamic Que needs reworked. I understand that theres people who dont have 5 friends and wants to play with 2-3 people in Ranked, i understand that completely. But what about the Solo players? There NEEDS to be a Solo Option to show Solo skill like there has been in the last 6 years, come on, dont pull a Jagex and introduce Evolution of Combat, lose 650k players, then go "oh i think we goofed, so heres an Oldschool Mode, and heres a Legacy mode, and an apology". As i said there should be a Solo Que, then possibly a Dynamic Que, to sort out which is better, then lastly a 5s Que, strictly. In my opinion, Ranked should be based off of two things...

4-A) Solo Rank, it shows how good of a player YOU are, and how well you can work with randoms to win, and if anything, CARRY those said randoms, even from support if you have to.

4-B) Team Rank, it shows how well you and your other 4 team mates can work together to win.

4-C) There doesnt need to be anything else. Sure there can be 3s Ranked, but i highly doubt theres anyone who plays it, other than people who just farm for that gold+ boarder with some boosters, but hey im not gonna judge. With those two, it shows individual skill, and team skill ranks, nothing else needs to be done. Dynamic Que only shows what solo players can get lucky enough to get a good 3-4 man premade to carry them.

I was expecting something like Heart of Gold or Force of Nature. Now I'm disappointed.

I totally get that, right, but I think you need to remember why it was that way. Queue times were high, and general match quality was low. You could not play your main in teambuilder without stomping; it was literally the "for screwing around" queue. It led to a lot of really unengaging, over at 20 games.

Yea and in most cases, it would take forever because not many people want smite ignite teemo....

Honestly, i did alot of Teemo jungle, even hosted games.

I think the longest i had to wait was 12 minutes and i was Gold 2 at that point.

The longest i had to wait -ever- was Galio jungle, looking for a team, for 17 minutes i believe, and that was the time when a new champ was out, cant remember who, i think illaoi.

Yah the Que times were long, BUT it was indeed a good game mode to try out said stuff. But lets be real, in every game mode, theres tryhards.

Theres diamond premades who get one silver on their team, and wreck golds in normals. Theres people who make ARAM only accounts and destroy with Morg/Nid/Heim/Fid/Kat.

I beat your longest by more than double. Gangplank top on the day of his rework, 37 minutes, Bronze elo.

Well thats because EVERYONE was filling for the role AND champ...

Yep. I refused to play Team Builder with my friends just because I didn't want to spend half an hour looking for a match.

  1. Sandbox Mode.

Seriously, the fact that they don't have this is borderline annoying. It's one thing to encourage the kids to go scrimmage with one another, but to not allow someone to just shoot some hoops without going through some major hoops is ridiculous.

So, this thread is useless. Want to see a constructive thread about SoloQ vs DynamicQ? Here is one (the only one?): http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/YlTcjEEf-dq-has-problems-so-did-the-old-system-introducing-club-ranked

thanks for calling it useless.

Think of threads like this, not people farming for upvotes, but for people posting multiple threads, for riot to see there is a mass, and not just one highly upvoted thread with alot of upvote smurfs.

Also try replay.gg if you havent heard of it. it is a website that records every game you play for up to 1 month.

The problem with Dynamic Queue is that it cannot coexist with Solo Queue because otherwise premades of 4 would NEVER get completed because no one in their right mind would queue for that.

There's no way for them to work together. Dynamic Queue just needs to go.

1: I would like to see it back, but I never thought of it as too important, I would usually just try my weird stuff in blind pick.

2: They are thinking about implementing it, but it needs to be done very carefully as sandbox might give some data to players, you don't want cheaters to have.

3: They recommend you use a replay program, they think those are good enough, they think implementing might lead to the same problems mentioned in 2.

4: I would like soloq Duoq and 5 man(seperate) ranked.

I used to play another game that was MMO but instead of keeping the replays on the server, you had the option to save replays of games on your own computer. You can always just not turn it on if you are running out of memory. It wouldn't be hard to do.

i think teambuilder was as bad as the current champ select system. what always bothered me with it and still bothers me with the new system is how restrictive they are.

you either were only allowed to chose one champion for one specific role with team builder, even though your roster might span multiple champions with some of these champions being able to take multiple roles.

or you have the current champion select method that forces you to chose a secondary role, but doesnt let you chose a third or fourth role if youe able to play more positions than two. so youre basically screwed when you only play a single role. and people who might play 3 roles are forced to drop one altogether.

neither of the systems are any good, because theyre not giving people enough options.

a good champion select system would allow you to que up for any number of roles you chose. be that just one specific role, or more than 2 with your choice on priority.

This game just needs old champ select. DQ is fine. This is a team game after all.

wow so original and helpful. not dissipointed at all. really.

Unpopular opinion time. I hated Team Builder. Every OP flavor champ was played every single game because no bans

I like Dynamic Queue but it needs to consist of 3-man (Top, Mid Jungle) and 2-man (ADC and Support) pre-mades.

5-man is basically a whole different queue which means people climb way differently to others. 4-man is just 4 people abusing and/or neglecting a random.

It needs to be 2 + 3 vs. 2 + 3 OR 5 randoms vs. 5 randoms.
