"solo queue"

Denims Wrath666·May 6, 2016·116 votes·4,600 views

its nice having to fight full teams in ranked. or constant duos and trios. why not right? riot gives no fucks about anyone anyways. i dont even wanna play ranked anymore. kinda impossible to win or even enjoy when you have to try and carry real assholes, while getting focuses by 3 people all game. where is the balance department? like, are they retarded, stoned, drunk, or just flat out useless? good thing this game is "free to play" because noone in the right mind would PAY to play this game anymore.

You have to premade or quit.

Yep, I'm about done trying to play the shit hole that is ranked. Lately all I want to play is the weekend rotating game modes. I feel like I'm playing this game more out of habit and I have found zero enjoyment in ranked. I been with this game so long, I don't want to leave, but this season in ranked and balance is literally the worse I can remember (I remember when I could play ANY champ I was good at and do well, now you gotta pick the pick/ban champs or you severely disadvantage yourself even more). A few days ago I played a ranked game where none of my team was premade and the enemy team had 3 matching club tags (they could have had 4 but not sure). My team was all solo because we had 3 unique club tags, I was solo without a tag and the other person without a tag said he was solo as well. How the fuck is it fair my solo team gets put against a premade? And ya, the other team completely destroyed us.

Already quit.

Can't seem to quit the forums though. Guess it's because I like reading how bad of a job Riot is doing since they ruined a once great game with their shitty decisions.

Even if you climb without it, the ranking's pretty meaningless since it doesn't show what your queue configuration was.

Ranked is a fucking joke right now. Oops, I swore, which means no one will take the frustration seriously!

And for some reason it automatically means Rioters are too "scared" to reply anyways.

Thats the PC world we live in.

Meanwhile OP is losing his head over the fact people have a different opinion than him. Claiming people are "harassing" him.

Riot's priority on what is "toxic" is very vague.

General Esdeath May 7, 20161 votes

Harassing him

Where did he say that? And DQ isn't a different opinion, when it came out 5 man premades were fighting all solo groups and if they won they were rewarded with 1 LP. ONE LP. If the game thinks it's fair you get 20, so how unfair does the game itself think this is?

WiseWoodrowMay 8, 20161 votes

Right here, kind sir. I'm getting downvoted to hell because apparently none of you can find the part where he said people were harassing him, while.. well, harassing people.

http://puu.sh/oL0z8/d7ed72372e.png

The only thing anyone was doing was challenging his opinion. He's even deleted some of his own posts, obviously because he knows he's being far too toxic to everyone.

And I'm not even saying I agree or disagree with his points, please note that. Stating the fact he's being toxic to everyone who disagrees with him isn't picking a side. Trust me, I'm the first one to point out bad systems in LoL. Sorry for any misunderstanding?

I'm not sure why I've been getting downvote-spammed considering the actual reply to OP has a decent amount of upvotes. I'm guessing it's because none of the people who downvoted me actually managed to find the reply in question, apparently.

General Esdeath May 8, 20162 votes

Oh I didn't see his comment. Rip.

I'd pay to play leauge.

I also play dynamic q solo and have noticed no increase in difficulty.

ZeeWolfZMay 6, 201624 votes

Yeah, because you are still playing against low elo players. You haven't faced High Elo skilled premades. Holy mother they spread you apart.

MunchCrunchLunchMay 6, 20166 votes

I mean even down here in silver we get the premades where a diamond-master smurf is carrying his bronze friends. absolutely awful. straight up 1v5s the team and wins

If you're that salty over it, when why don't you just leave the game altogether? Clearly it's impacting you on a personal level, as if it's some sleight against you, so why not just let it go?

Denims Wrath666May 6, 201616 votes

thanks doc. im glad you know me on a personal level. do me a favour and keep your psyco analysis' to yourself there bud.

IMaBiRBMay 6, 201612 votes

If you don't like to see peoples' opinions on your opinion, then maybe your opinion shouldn't even be shared in the first place. Saying that people under a certain rank should have no voice in the way things may or may not change in this game is like saying, essentially, that people under a certain income threshold shouldn't be allowed to vote, because they clearly don't have any knowledge of the country/state politics and how hard it can be anyways. They're the sole reason this country/state sucks.

If it really effects you so deeply that your elo experiences are being screwed by lower elo players and their ability to help make decisions on the meta and the game in general, then do something about it and apply for a job a Riot. Then you can actually have some input and potential influence. If you don't have the balls or the required skills to do so, then you clearly have no qualification to speak for the community as a whole when it comes to metagame influence.

JorenciceMay 6, 20169 votes

Damn. Well said sir.

I also like how his response was basically.

"Your triggering me back off or I'll tell"

Typical liberal.

IMaBiRBMay 6, 20164 votes

Some people know no other form of defense, nor how to actually debate an issue without dropping f-bombs and calling people, and their opinions, worthless.

WiseWoodrowMay 8, 20161 votes

Funny, OP deleted the post where he said everyone was harassing him. Because, it was obviously a lie. Took him long enough to realize it.

That example makes no sense. It's more like saying that someone who hasn't studied Algebra shouldn't be attempting to teach it. It's a fact that the game is very different at higher levels and low elo experience doesn't translate into an objective assessment of the game's state. So yes, some opinions do have far less merit than others when there's a large skill gap. I think anyone under Plat shouldn't even attempt to draw conclusions about the game's balance.

WiseWoodrowMay 6, 20168 votes

Woooh somebody has got their panties in a real big knot. Calm down.

The problem in the game isn't a silver player sharing their opinions. It's salty, toxic players like you who think your opinion is the holy grail. Come on.

"I hate premades"

"lol ur bad at this game, salty, toxic"

WiseWoodrowMay 8, 20161 votes

Except.. he was saying anyone below gold has no right to comment on the status of the game, and calling anyone who disagrees with him a harasser. I don't get what your comment is trying to imply.

Troll for TrumpMay 8, 20161 votes

That doesn't make him salty, your comment also makes you just as toxic as he is.

But generally people who disagree with the dynaqueue/premade hate just say that those haters are salty bronzies making excuses.

WiseWoodrowMay 9, 20161 votes

Your definitions of salty and toxic seem very skewed. I'd try to defend my honor, but since you're the only one who seems to be defending him (My post has around 5 upvotes), I don't think it'd be justified.

Troll for TrumpMay 10, 20161 votes

FIrst of all, upvotes don't mean much; It varies post to post, varies with time etc. Even if you did take upvotes into account, he got 7 upvotes, and, obviously, 7 >5. Your definition of salty and toxicity is too general. I mean, at this point it's only you and me here really. You can't just say everything is toxic. It's like how Riot has a catch-all with "unsportsmanlike conduct". See something you don't like? It's toxic.

WiseWoodrowMay 8, 20161 votes

Huh, funny that he'd say that, considering he's deleted his post now.

Almost like he realized he was being toxic so he deleted the post to cover up his bigotry.

PbJMpP4xzkMay 6, 20168 votes

its exactly how i feel about the game right now its just very sad much peoples will quit and only the tryhards rager will stay

WiseWoodrowMay 6, 20166 votes

It's a good thing Riot actually looks at this board, so they can solve the seemingly hundreds of problems, many of which were spawned just this update...

...oh wait.

SilverthaneMay 7, 20165 votes

Literally been loosing to dynamic queue because my trio sucks and theirs is god like. My impact is non existent and that fact is what tilts me the most. not losing, but having my game controlled by the guy who wanted to do ranked with his casual buddies that got boosted.

holy hell.

chide da junglerMay 7, 20165 votes

It's not impossible to win, but that quality of that premade decides the game. If they are 3+ if they are good they win and if they suck they lose and the 2 other people are just along for the ride.

SecretlolzMay 7, 20165 votes

Just leave, as most Solos did. There are better games out there

Obungo May 8, 20161 votes

Exactly, riot ALWAYS emphasized (since season 2) that they wanted this game to be more centered around teamplay and team skill. Now thats happened, and all the solo players are salty.

They've been warning you guys since season 2, not their fault lmao.

tooomineMay 7, 20165 votes

generally, I don't pay to play games anymore anyways. The value for games is so incredibly low, and they have all the same micro-transactions. I hate to say it, man, but F2P basically killed traditional games on PC.

FovereMay 7, 20164 votes

DQ is noticeable at any level of play, it makes a lot of game unmanageable.

As another thread noted, it takes the worst aspect of normal draft, and shoves it into Ranked.

You lose both any legitimate ranking, as well as quality of gameplay

I don't know where you're getting this trolling thing from. I'm sincerely trying to help OP develop a better understanding of the English language, expand his vocabulary from more than just hate speech and profanity, and give him hints on how to properly debate something and be taken seriously while doing so. If he sees it as trolling, then that's his problem. If this tilts him even more in ranked than he already appears to be, then it's just an added bonus for me, seeing as he was unduly rude and aggressive.

Well, then, it's been real and it's been fun, but it hasn't been real fun. If you ever decide you want to learn how to actually debate a topic and use constructive criticism, rather than profanity and hate speech, let me know. I would be glad to assist. Have a great night, fellow.

Denims Wrath666May 6, 20166 votes

your "debate" is erroneous on all accounts of hate speech. if you cant pick up on the difference between hate and frustration you should just learn your place.

Eevee In A JarMay 6, 20169 votes

There are proper ways to fix this problem. Stop shoving Dyn Q down everyone's throat. Everyone knows Dyn Q is just bad and Riot's afraid of implementing Solo Q again because, God forbid, majority of the playerbase want to play it and will never touch Dyn Q even if they allowed you to choose between the two. I mean for fuck's sake I was here since season 1 when Riot kept defending Solo Q by saying Team Rank as the primary rank system is abuseable, destroys integrity of fairness, even if not abused people will not climb by individual skill or truly earn it. Almost every rage thread about Dynamic Queue? Yeah Riot's been saying those things for years defending their Solo Q format.

About half of my friends list are bad players who are now all my rank or higher because they got boosted; i was in one of the games where they legit got boosted by 4 diamonds in a full premade team. And that person is not alone. Boosting is an epidemic atm whether it is paid elo boosting or just simple dynamic indirect boosting.
