The NEW Solo-Q
So, it has become apparent that Dynamic-Q has become the sole ladder for a competitive Summoners Rift 5v5. We should accept kook it and move on. We can still have a Solo-Q, just not 5v5.
Thinking about it, a 5v5 is much harder to access individual skill then lets say a 3v3 Solo-Q ladder. Leave 5v5 Dynamic for Summoners Rift but grant us a true Solo-Q where individual skill can really shine on a smaller map with less people.
Friends can still group on a map that allows for big parties and the Solo player can Q into a compact and more casual experience where individual skill can really shine. This way the classic gamemode lives on in its current evolutionary process and a new experience is born for the more casual player.
A 3v3 Solo-Q ladder on Twisted Treeline will not take many people away from 5v5. This Q would require less people, create more games, and be a small diversion for the True Solo-Q player and those that like Dynamic-Q alike. It seems like a win-win for all parties. Rito, Dynamic-Q advocates, Solo-Q hopefulls and those somewhere in between will all get a piece of the pie.
On a warm, breezy, southern California afternoon this occured to me and wondered if this idea has been discussed. Any thoughts on this might be helpful if a RED stumbles along our way. Let's discuss the pro's and neg's.
Thank you for reading and for thoughtful conversation on this topic. Wherever you are in the world, I want to wish you a good day.
