@Riot: Concerning the 2016 changes. Do you hate solo players?

Yay clubs! Team up with friends! All the goodies only when you go premade!

For me this just sounds horrible. I'm the last one from my group of real-life people to still play this game. Some I have lost contact to and others just don't play anymore. The other people I know sit on NA, and they might as well not exist as I'm on EUW.

To make it simple: I have no friends to queue up with and I have no intention of suddenly feeling the need for socializing.

I'm a simple solo player: I go into a game with 4 strangers in my team, arrange myself with them and then possibly win, or not.

And after that I forget those people and jump into the next game.

This is no MMORPG where trading, information sharing or mass-raids are so integral they lead to an automatic social component - I prefer to play this game more or less solo. And I like it that way. I have to deal with enough socialization bullshit in my real life, when I want to enjoy the game I want this to be a contest of witts and strategy - and not some weird social-training so I'm not left out on any rewards and goodies.

Also, don't tell me the start "bonding" with the community. I have done my share of tribunal work (when it was still active) and my fair number of ranked games from Bronze 5 to Plat 5 in the last years. I have been running even a small fanfiction blog on tumblr, and you would not believe the drama storm and toxic anonnymus hate that brew up from time to time, especially in the league community somehow.

Believe me when I say that there are things I'm not keen to bond with.

I don't even take on offers from people who ask me to duo up after a ranked anymore - mostly because they turn out to be absolutely toxic.

Please Riot, I know this is a team game, but stop just kicking it into the faces of solo players...
