Consider your game dead, Riot, because I will and I won't be playing League if a REAL competitive ranked mode is not released by season 7.
And by "REAL competitive ranked mode", I mean a True Solo Queue, no duos, with the new champ select.
Dediguise5 votesConsider the game dead because one player will leave
While I don't like DQ I find these threads to be idiotically self-important. Typical capitalistic, entitled jargon from someone who has been spoonfed lies of adequacy and participation awards. Your private investment of time and money does not reflect your importance. The only contributions that matter are ones to the community. Childish demanding threads merely undermine your stance and those of the people that agree with you. Do us a favor and either offer legitimate objective constructive criticism or leave.

Cry me a river. These are the conditions I want met if I'm to play the game. If I quit, I'll simply be part of the collective that has quit. Loads of other players have said and done the same thing. It's called supply and demand. If they don't supply what is being demanded, they lose potential money. Has nothing to do with self importance lol.
Dediguise1 votesAs an economics major I completely understand supply and demand. I also understand that it has been grossly misapplied to just about everything the common person understands about economics.
Here's an economic concept for you. Riot will lose money and time (which is lost money) by investing longterm in something that they will ultimately not support. The projected losses for maintaining DQ outweigh the losses of losing those players. It would be better for everyone if they invested those resources into better content instead of wasting time and money on a portion of the playerbase that has very different ideas about what constitutes competitive play.
Your fundamentally flawed explanation of supply and demand fails to take dozens of factors into account including the cost of capitulating to your ideas.
Would you like to make any other uninformed statements?

Let me make this simpler for you: I won't put money into a game I don't like. Lost potential profit. Have a nice day.
Dediguise1 votesI'm having a great day thanks.
Let me make it even simpler.
Lost profit from KING ATTILA < lost profit from Instating Solo Q
Would you like a chart? Or a graph of some kind? I understand some folks are visual learners.

Wut?

Players can still trade roles if they want. You also don't have to pick the same two roles every game. Think outside your wood box.
Eedat4 votes99.9% of time nobody trades roles. The point is you're demanding a "REAL competitive ranked mode" then demanding a feature that makes it more casual lol

False. How is it casual to play against players who are playing their roles/strengths? That makes for better games and prevents arguments during champ select.
Lord Boltrix3 votesOh yes, because it won't be the thousands of other players leaving for the same reason, no: YOUR importance overrides everything else.
Also, grats on whitewashing anyone who doesn't also conform to your idea of ranked as 'not competitive.'

Newsflash: I'm not the only player that has said "I quit/I will quit".
Just saying I'm going to quit doesn't place importance on myself.
DQ =/= not competitive. It is Casual.
Lord Boltrix2 votesI responded to your post in the same manner you gave it to the forums, and at least my response had sarcastic intonations rather than sounding wholly derisive of an entire group of people for a playing preference.
In addition, why keep the new champ select if you want true competition?
After all, with no way to guarantee your role the people who get to gold, plat, etc. will have earned it having to win their games regardless of the role they get, and no potential carries from a duo partner with no dynamic or even duo queue.
A true example of skill, right?

A true example of skill is playing against players in their strongest roles. Players can pick fill anyway.
Lord Boltrix1 votesWhich can't always happen even in the current champ select because you have to pick two roles, meaning you can't always face people at their absolute best.
The whole MMR system is designed to eventually seat you to where you play with people who are as good as you, meaning both your lows and highs even out to a certain extent. The only way to guarantee your role every time you play Ranked is... surprise surprise, playing in Ranked 5's.
I'm not saying your line of thinking is wrong, but at the same time it's an opinion. For some it might not be enough to have two roles, some would believe you should be able to choose just one role in return for longer queue times because, as you said: when people play their best role you see more of what they can bring to the table.
For others, the fact that you can pick your role is counter to what solo queue was all about, back when you could not guarantee your role and you sometimes got put into a role that you were absolute pants with. Some people would believe that your rank should be reminiscent of how well you could scale the ranked ladder in a system where you were sometimes put at a major disadvantage and still have to find a means to win.
