Warning: Do not play ranked til "Dynamic Queue" is fixed

Rezandra··12 votes·2,971 views

In my opinion, the only thing "dynamic" about this new queue is how dynamically unfair it is to people that want to play solo. I have put in about 15 games since the new queue was introduced and have won once. Once.

Once. Out of 15 games.

And I main jungle and support, so statistically speaking, I should've been carried in at least a few of these games.

And you know what, I would hope that I don't have to say anything about the colossal failure that the new champ select is. I would expect that everybody that has tried it has been met with the same issues. People not locking in their picks and getting kicked back to the match search. Almost every time I have tried playing the new champ select, this has happened. Repeatedly. I have waited upwards of 10 minutes just to get into a game.

And often the annoyance is compounded by the fact that if you put support as your secondary role, you're going to be supporting. There have been times when I actually had to put mid as my secondary role when I wanted to jungle because I kept getting support over and over. That's right, I had to pull some bullshit like that just to get the role I wanted to play.

You know, Team Builder wasn't perfect. Waiting for a support could sometimes take awhile. But when it was introduced, it was all I played. Save for the rare occasions that I did ranked, I stayed in that Team Builder because it allowed me to play what I want, when I want. With relatively minimal frustration.

How about you bring back Team Builder for normals, fix the new champ select, and use that for ranked? Until something is done to fix both of these issues, I will not play this game anymore. The frustration has reached new heights and I simply can't cope.

I've been doing better in my games, not all people troll. I tend to duo queue with people that communicate well with me. Even though our team trolls we tend to carry them. I enjoy the new system. It's a new look and that's what I enjoy. I don't mind waiting 5 minutes for a queue.

if you've won 1/15 games, there's much more of a problem than dynamic que

Maybe it's just me, but I've had a wonderful experience with the new queue. I usually play mid/support, and I'd say roughly half the games I've played so far I've gotten mid. You get the people who forget to lock in every once in awhile, but that's not any different than people closing the client in the old champ select.

Well and failure to lock in is different, too. It's simpler, because if it's enemy team, your assembled team (even if it's just you and 4 randoms) stays together, and you just have to wait for another enemy team instead of waiting for the full 10-man-match-up all over again. I personally love the new champion select; it urges me to play draft more than blind, and because of that I can get more familiar with who counters who, and how to use those countering abilities to my advantage. This way I can adapt to playing situationally before the game begins. I feel like the new champion select really helps push players in a direction that's going to add diversity to their playstyle and in the long run, make each person a little more knowledgeable and a little more impactful in their team as a whole.

Gotta say I really hate the frequency of triple queued people I'm running into. Duo was bad enough, with a trio it's even worse. I'm expected to make up for their fails because the system jacks their mmr up to compensate for them being grouped. F dat, don't want those scrubs on my team.

Queue times are too long in normals. I'm really way too toxic to play ranked. It puts my account in jeopardy. But I will not sit there for 12 min. queue times. I just won't.

I understand your point here It is shit when you queue up 10+ times but every single time, someone on enemy team doesn't lock in and dodges queue. But I really don't think "colossal failure" is really all that fair of a thing to say. Dynamic Queue is still very new and is just a bit rough around the edges. It's not anything that's unfixable; Riot has said they're working on not only improving queue times, but simultaneously trying to make each player a least a little more likely to receive their primary role preference. Just needs a little love, that's all. Riot worked hard on this project; give them a while to buff out the scratches before instantly jumping to "colossal failure".

I will concede that "colossal failure" may be an overstatement.

But once again I'd like to stress, there wasn't much wrong with Team Builder. I am irritated that TB was removed completely when it could have still be used for normals.

I agree with this as well. Though I think that overall, it'll be a step in the right direction. I believe I read once, in the depths of the discussion board when the new champ select was first announced to be replacing Team Builder; I believe I read a Rioter comment that they will try to bring back Team Builder once they can further work out the things they didn't like about it, but that it wouldn't be very similar to the way it was before. Still a guarantee that you get your champ and your role, but much different. Not sure how they would pull this off, but I think I remember seeing something of the sort.

Also, here's a link to the intended maintenance to be done on Dynamic Queue! n.n I don't even play ranked but reading these fixes was a breath of fresh air even to me haha. Hope this helps (: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/miscellaneous/HGblb9fH-the-2016-ranked-season-updates-on-dynamic-ranked-and-your-feedback

You are looking at ranked games from over 3 months ago. So again, open your fucking eyes. There are clear dates.

Before you decide to talk shit on somebody's thread, you might wanna make sure you get your facts straight. Or you could just not talk shit? Then this wouldn't happen.

That's not how statistical inference works. Don't toss around something you have no clue about how it works.

Every time i put Fill as secondary..it's automatically becomes Support. RIOT might as well scrap the Fill option and change it to "Anything but x role" like others had mentioned in another thread iirc. Dynamic queue is more or less forcing people into Support role with the Fill option. Fill supposes to allow the same player to be able to play different roles or their main role through a variety of matches instead of going Fill = Support... P/S: All of the recent games (normal and ranked) whenever I put Fill as secondary, I always ended up with Support. Needless to say that getting my primary role is out of the picture. It's not that I hate going Support but getting that role EVERY SINGLE TIME when Secondary is Fill and never get to play Primary role is quite a hassle and inconvenient
