Quick Update: Riot still can't fulfill simple requests.
Edit 1(couldn't add to bottom, mobile site isn't great): Riot ScuttleChris literally saying they care more about the aesthetic of the client than the gameplay experience of their playerbase:
"The team communication one is something we need to solve as well - that why we wanted to share that we're trying to make this into a team sport. Clearly effective teams communicate and coordinate a lot, so this is something we'd like to improve as well. It's a little longer term as we're focusing on improving queue times, and things like updating the LoL client first."
some dank solo queue promise back pedalling
"When the competitive team made its recent update, a lot of players took away the conclusion of “no solo queue” -- that we were hiding from a hard conversation by being purposefully vague. In reality, we’re not making a call on solo queue because there are some critical issues we need to fix in dynamic queue to understand what’s actually missing. Promising solo queue in our original announcement was premature - a knee-jerk reaction to a situation we were still figuring out - and our silence on the matter (outside of some miscommunications) only made things more suspicious. " You can find this quote with the rest of the article on Surrender@20
Why not stop trying to fix dynamic queue and give us solo and bring back ranked 5s. The people that want to try hard and climb as a team can go to 5s and the solo climbers can play where THEY want to play. Why are you trying to combine them. Just please stop.
