Why Do I Have a "Dynamic Preference" Tag On My Profile When I Almost Exclusively Solo?

When the tags or whatever you want to call them were introduced, we were told you had to do an equivalent of "placement" games to get a mark that would say solo preference, dynamic preference, or basically group preference. I played nothing but solo games during that time and got the solo badge/tag.

Thought nothing of it. Since then (as in AFTER I got the badge) I've probably only played 50 games to be fair, and out of those games, I think I've played probably 4 (Edit: was 6 not 4) games not solo? I haven't logged in to play ranked in about a week or so, and I went to look at my profile and suddenly I have the "Dynamic Preference" badge instead.


Basically (not so much tl;dr but sort of):

Why would it have switched, when I clearly DON'T play dynamic much, and the vast majority (I'm talking like 98%) of my games are solo? It is just a badge, but I would prefer not to have this badge on my profile telling people I dynamic queue a lot, when that clearly isn't the case.

The only times I DQ is when I end a game and some of my teammates ask me to join for another game.

Edit: If you look at my op.gg you can see that I have played about 5-6 premade games. It says "most recent" but that is actually about the entirety of them since the badges were introduced. Most of those are the same premade people at the same time. Some of those were just roll of the dice luck teaming with the same person for multiple games without being a premade (which lead to the premade usually).

It's based on your recent games, not overall. If your "4" games in a premade were very recent then it's easy to have the badge changed. You need something like 22 of the last 25 games solo for the badge.

Recently I noticed there aren't badges any more. Maybe my client is bugged or maybe they got rid of them? I always disliked them because out of my 286 ranked games I had maybe 10 in a premade but had the dynamic badge since 3 or 4 of them were in my last 25. When I've only had about 4% of my ranked games in a premade it felt pretty bad to have the boosted badge, so hopefully they are gone.
