As someone whose only option is solo queue...

I don't have friends who play league. In the end, I have never felt more hopeless and powerless as I do this season. I remember back in Season 5 when I could achieve a win streak of 6 or 7 games! Now, that's a myth for me. Nothing feels worse than being in a loading screen and seeing 3 identical club tags on the other team, only to look at my team and see none. It's disheartening playing every game knowing within 5 minutes someone is going to snowball hard, and there's nothing we as a team can do to stop it (especially if they're a tank). It's incredibly heart breaking knowing that despite all the progress I see myself make, it means nothing because I am alone in queue against those who aren't and my individual skill are therefore useless. So thank you Riot for Season 6; the season that ultimately killed all pride and self esteem I have in myself as a solo queue player.
