So Riot.... where's solo queue?

SeargentAnus·2/23/2016, 2:31:11 AM·99 votes·3,833 views

You said a while back it'd come out two weeks after dynamic queue. It's almost been a month now... Can we get an update at least?

Edit: Since people are saying that Riot never said it'd be out in a few weeks here's Riot Lyte saying exactly that.

We need to work out a few implementation details, especially for smaller servers before we can roll out the revamped Solo Ranked alongside its Dynamic sibling. Because Dynamic Ranked is an indisputably better experience for playing with friends, the Ranked Teams queue skips the 2016 season while we begin work to integrate the full team experience into Dynamic Ranked. Expect more details about improved organized play later in the year. To be clear, ranked queues for the 2016 season are:

  • Dynamic Ranked
  • A few weeks after season start: Solo Ranked

It's been a month. We deserve an update on the progress at the very least.

"We, Rito games, have decided that the optimal League of Legends experience for the ranked environment should be dynamic queue. We feel that if we bring in solo Q that the ranked environment would be too fair and we can't allow that to happen. So starting today we have retired solo Q. Don't worry you'll be able to remember your fond memories of solo Q with this new icon. You can get this icon by having at least 100 games of solo Q played at the time of this post. Don't worry solo Q was never released so no one gets the icon anyways."

Sincerely, Rito games.

I'm sure Riot said that to please the masses but never intended to bring it out. Kinda like Tribunal lol. So I'm betting it's dead and buried.

They lied. They always do. At this point, just stop giving them money and tax their servers.

This thread is going to be deleted shortly. Mods are removing all the threads about this.

They aren't done letting LCS teams anal rape solo players yet. Give it a few more months.

Riot doesn't have a solution to the problem. They do not know how to have a true soloQ and still somehow support and keep dynamic queue. Riot is not removing dynamic queue move on and try to think how to have both. removing 4's is not a solution. Just matching 3's and 2's is not a legitimate solution. Again don't be biased actually think of something that works.

Not only has this "update me riot plz!" post been put up on the board a crap ton of times, this post in particular and a majority of the responses are pretty shitty. Like a prime example of a shit post. I dont get why so many people are shinning riot as an evil corporation when in reality, it takes a while to ship things out. I am getting into the Game Industry and shit doesn't just pop up over night. Could riot be more transparent about True soloQ and its progress? Yeah Im sure they could. And this conspiracy that they just lied to calm the masses makes no fucking sense. It is something that a large chunk of the community wants and if they were to not deliver, they would get a ton of shit for it. So just stop posting the same thing that has been up already 50 times this week and be fucking patient.

Here is the dirty trith riot is scared shitless to see happen. The day the pure solo q opens up is the day this worthless agenda driven dynamic que dies the ugly death it deserves and riot gets slapped in the face that they were 100% wrong.

You have to realize the entire point of the dynamic que is to force you to play with your friends and you k ow why riot wants you to do that? It instantly removes the burden of toxic from riots list of things to do

they need to see the truth, its not filter the spam for better judgment anymore, its filter the spam so the middle man and the happy customer cant ask to many essential questions they haven't come up with yet; do to "releasing several "updates and games modes". of course, personally I am bored (yes i used the word bored even though the very definition of the word is used with the word to describe the state of which I am) of the videos they release, been around since garen could stack sunfire capes and kill people running by bushes, and I haven't seen them care for anything other then what rule to inforce next. I hope this changes.

No.

They said a couple months...

Not 2 weeks.

Don't complain when you have no idea what you're complaining about.

But I would like to hear something from Riot.

Maybe because of the Champ Select crap they ran into additional issues? I mean server load issues but idk. I guess they will have to explain later.

Solo only queue should be out any day now http://i.imgur.com/pMQAKH2.png

I'm waiting for solo q so I can finally start playing ranked. I only did placements on dynamic and have no motivation at all to play after that, because I don't feel like it represents my true division. But ofc, i'ts been more than a month and still no sign of solo q..

Hopefully they will give us a update

Keeping Dynamic Queue 'alive' is a stupid goal

If they fundamentally understand that such a massive majority of players prefer Solo Queue, why even attempt to shove Dynamic Queue down our throats?

Dynamic queue is basically normals. I play them like normals, everyone I queue with plays them like normals, they have the same rules and limitations as normals, they are just normals.

It's coming never. Probably.

Can you tell me where they said this about "two weeks" after dynamic queue? I don't recall them saying that.
