Are we ever getting a solo queue option back?

RAT IN GAME UwU ··3 votes·420 views

Lyte said it would take weeks, it's been months now, solo players are completely dumped on with the changes dynamic queue brings, and it's like a civil war within this game, a lot of people actually really hate that they can't play ranked without a group of 3 or more and actually expect a good outcome

I hate it for the fact that it basically encourages people who have no business playing ranked to queue up in large quantities and to decimate the integrity of bronze/silver/gold making them all actually start to mesh into one rank at this point.

Dynamic queue has really degraded the quality of ranked play and matchmaking in general, the teams are more interested in having fun than actually winning, and I know some of you will be very very very VERY triggered by this point, but ranked is not just for having fun, it's supposed to be to test your skill and to get an accurate idea of where you match up in the ladder, so these casuals are actually making this much less accurate by flooding the ladder and lowering the standard of play below platinum.

I also received my primary role maybe 60% or more of the time i joined in solo queue as people had the expectation that they would fill if they couldn't get their role, and people would work together to make the team decent at least(in most cases, I know there's trolls who just join games to be a piece of crap) but in dynamic i almost never get my role, maybe 10% of the time or less, and people who did get their role are highly unlikely to work with the team and trade if someone gets stuck in a bad spot, they'd rather get their way and lose, because again, they do NOT care about ranked, they are just on to play a video game with their friends in the ONLY competitive game mode, made for testing your skill, because they're able to do this without any repercussions to them, and this to me says matchmaking failure, so on top of having poor players who don't actually care about their rank in ranked, I also can't play a role that I can do well on in almost all situations and am forced to learn another one on the fly, kind of like C9 Hai had to do when switched to jungle and went from high challenger to almost falling out of master into diamond, now imagine a normal player with normal skill having to do this constantly, there's no chance of them reaching their old rank again without having a constant flow of quality reliable players online to play with

I get that this works fine in silver, but I don't have 2-4 other friends on in high gold to high plat at all times when I want to play, so i've literally just not been playing ranked at all, I want to play again, please bring back a viable queue for solo players, because Dynamic is not viable for us currently, the match making is too awful, and you won't allow us to queue as one role(which would fix this entirely, but you're Riot, so fuck us.)

Before you totally reject this, I play as a support main and generally carry my team as a solo player, its the idea of solo que to try and get others to work together (use to be) as a leader. This has been LATELY, I've been able to do that, I get its a painful to go aganist premade 3 man teams. Cause it sucks but sometimes people honestly just que together for fun other then having to make a ranked team to get there. So it happens, and its a struggle to go against that 3 man team but remember there's only 3 people that are able to listen to each other on that team really or have good syngery. The other two are clueless as ever.

Just to give you something to think about. I expect a reply back from something along the lines about how your personal experience is bad, but honestly this new que I've seen LESS toxic AUTO locks and less toxic people over it which helps the game in a whole. And I dont want to relive season 5 because that was horrible autolocks and bitching or people fed because of autolocks etc.

Of course there is less auto locking, but is that all the community cares about? degraded entirety of ranked to stop the one guy who auto locks 1/10 games? or at worst 1/5 games on a bad day? at least with an auto locker you can just pick something else, report that guy and move on, when you get a 3 man straight out of provisionals and your enemy is a 3 man + 2 who use skype or cv or discord and actually have experience it's just not fun

and my biggest issue is NEVER getting my role, I queue as bot/mid bot/top bot/jungle but mostly bot/mid and out of 50 games testing this queue i've gotten bot less than 8 times, it isn't working as intended, and if this is what they intended, i just can't play this game anymore, I don't want to switch my role because they decided 7 years in that we all need to just give up our hopes of ever playing bot so some casual moron can get the role and have 38cs by 15 minutes in. It just is undesireable, I don't want dynamic to be gone, I just want a queue I can play that isn't so casual infested and actually shows MY level of skill, not the level of skill of my trio or quad that i can't communicate with

aside from all these said, it's also not fun to be the odd man out, there are so many toxic negatives to queuing alone, I just want solo back so I can feel like all my time spent playing this game hitting plat, and wanting to continue to grow doesn't have to stop here, I can barely stomach ranked currently, and I used to love it, many LCS pros, challengers, masters, diamonds, plats all have went to reddit to try and stop the crushing of solo queue because they also hate this queue, it just dumbs the entire game and community down and it's why you're starting to see so many videos and articles about how people think league has peaked and is now on a decline

whoever is running this game is running it straight into the ground.

there isn't one without the other currently, yes I would like a single queuing option without the new champ select though. I would settle for having to deal with new champ select in a solo queuing format but i don't really want to, I just want a single queuing option like it used to be, I don't want to integrate into a new game that I never signed up to play, would just like to keep playing the old one. I already deal with the horrendous balance changes monthly.
