Riot Pls: Dynamic queue, sandbox, and League 2016

What has happened to solo queue?

Since season 1, solo queue has been a staple to the ranked system in league of legends. You were able to test your own abilities against other people's of the same level. However now, with the introduction of the dynamic queue it just shows who has the better friends. In some games I encounter a 3-5man pre-made, this gives them advantages in both gameplay and communication, this however does not test your individual skill.

Riot also promised at the start of season 6 that we were going to get a solo/duo queue version of dynamic queue. Thanks for scrapping that.

I always play by myself...and have played against many premades and have won. Yes premades give an advantage but if you and your team communicate like the premade is doing (though you'll be communicating in chat vs Skype or whatever), then you have every advantage as them

well they also came out and wrong they are putting it to the side right now to work on more of the ongoing stuff with Dynamic .. EVEN though they did say that it might have a negative effect .. i dont think they are scrapping it.. just making sure it will fit.. with dynamic que without any disturbance to any que going on .. thats what i got out of it..... and i agree solo que right now.. everything would be up in smoke.... and nothing would have gotten solved so them working on dynamic que for the time being is alot better than shoving <even though id like solo que> it down the throats of alot of people who dont want solo back .. just for the fact of a negative gameplay... i know dynamic isnt perfect but solo q will not make it any more perfect either.

about a year, maybe less, before this whole dynamic thing surfaced the ability to identify premades on sites like lolnexus was removed on the serverside i think. a decision by riot. once this whole 'dynamic' crap came up I immediately understood why. I am surprised no one has brought this up, since I know tons of people used lolnexus and places like it while in loading/lobby. this was done so that people who weren't playing much or were feeling discouraged/overwhelmed would begin to thinkt hey're better than they really are once they get ons kype with 3 or 4 friends and beginning stomping 4 or 5 people other people who are complete strangers and don't have the advantage of being able to use the mouse/keyboard to make plays at the same time as communicating tot heir own team (of strangers) since the game doesn't allow voicechat built-in. the premade scrubs then get excited and buy more skins to show off to each other, since they thinkt hey're amazing now. and thenr iot makes more money off of them. if more players don't quit the game and move onto others, taking their money witht hem, than scrubs that full on or nearly fullon premade and decide to spend, riot will never give you a soloq. not to mention if if it does cause a mass exodus, riot may realize it's too late to pull most of that money back and will decide it's wise to not invest in making a soloq anyways. which i would agree would be a good business decision at that point, even though it sucks as a solo player. in other words, you're not getting a soloq. it's time to get used to poro mode, and keep an eye out for any new mobas that seem interesting, and balanced. or to just try out dota 2, and fight a fair match as a solo player. if you haven't played much this season, form things I have read it seems it would be like learning a new game anyways, so it may as well be an actual new game (new game to you as the player, anyways). dota 2 also gives you every hero from the start. no need to rebuild your army over there. you only need a steam account to play it. which most of us already have. just my two cents. it's too bad infinite crisis didn't last long out of beta, unfortunately. especially since they gave most of us in beta all of the champs up until release for spending ma little money int he beta. I would have moved to that game permanently once the whole 'dynamic' bs was announced over here. this game became unfun fast. to sum up pre-season 6 "That's as good... as it's gonna get. And it'll nevah get that good again."

right in the nose. that smarts, doesn't it?
