The vast majority of solo grinders, just woke up one day and thought, you know what, I'm tired of DQ, I'm gonna take a break for a month.
Also, what would happen all solo grinders got together and simply just premade in groups of 4's :D?
How would this affect the DQ?
For some reason I find myself curious about this.
hh the thinker1 voteslong Q times and problems finding matches, if enough people did it, though it would have to be close to everyone. if there are no solo Q players and a premade of 4 are trying to find a match, they simply can't. riot won't add solo Q again since this is basically what they fear will likely happen.

So essentially, Solo players are in a sense the lifeblood of DQ since it won't work without solo players, yet every DQ fanboy and Riot says:
Pair up, find friends to play with, get rewards, blabblablabla. But don't consider that if every solo player actually did this it would probably break DQ?
I find that utterly hilarious and I find it just as hilarious that rewards and superior gaming experience is geared towards people that are teaming up as well. I think I'm done with DQ for now, I really wanted that platinum badge this season, but the fuss just isn't worth it.
No incentive to partake at all.
hh the thinker1 votesya, it's kind of silly. enjoy the break from ranked, lol. a lot of players don't care either way. i myself would prefer solo Q, but i'm ok with DQ is that's all there is so that's why i basically play it.

I actually don't mind DQ all that much, I even pair up with people now and then and when I do I have a much better overall gaming experience, but I don't want to have to pair up every single game to get that, it just feels too forced.
I really feel Riot is treating solo players badly, clearly differentiating between solo players and premades. That's funny, cause solo players are vital to DQ. Yet we get treated like lower classed citizens. With reduced chances of getting rewards, lower keyshard drops and just inferior overall gaming experience due to variance.
Everything is geared towards getting people to play together, but Riot doesn't seem to realise that the loners are actually also important as they are the glue that makes DQ stick together.
FeelsBadMan, but whatever. I'll try to make the most of this break, maybe the game looks more attractive in a month or so, one can always hope.
