Riot Is Flat Out Ignoring Us

Zacster··42 votes·1,939 views

At this point there has been multiple threads asking for Solo Queue and none were addressed by Riot employees. Considering that Riot employees comment on many threads, it would have been hard for them to miss hundreds if not thousands of Solo Queue threads. This means that they are intentionally ignoring these threads.

This thread is simply here to inform Riot that we are not stupid and we are able to see that they are ignoring us.

except that riot has made an offical comment and their is nothing else for them to say. Just cause you guys are making threads a month later does not mean riot is going to keep responding.

No the offical comment that they have to delay solo q and they are working on further improvements on dynamic instead. They also said that solo q may never happen.

Correction, it will never happen. Let us be real here......

Angry Monster3 votes

i was para phrasing the statement; not translating what the hidden meanings of it. if that is what you got out of it ( and a lot of people did), ok. The deleted post by jman was saying that the last anyone heard on Solo q was the original promise. I was just correcting the person

It's pretty simple really, they ignore us long enough until people start to get annoyed at these posts. Promises of solo queue returning reassure players wanting it and people slowly start to get accustomed to dynamic queue. Riot knows what they are doing and they can't say anything at this point other then "It's coming back" which they are not going to do.

I said the same thing when they released their ''we'll maybe do solo queue but its on hold'' post.

People downvoted me.

But wow, now people are starting to realize that it's actually happening, that they wont be gettting their precious solo queue back!

Seriously, how can people even think that RIOT will give them what they want? They're known for using mind conditioning ALL THE TIME! Remember when they said that sandbox wasn't going to be released? After the huge fucking hatewave they got, they said ''yeah we're reconsidering making a sandbox mode''. Where is the sandbox mode, a year later, and where are the posts asking for sandbox mode? They even talked about maybe giving us sandbox mode in their ''dynamic queue is great'' as a fucking pathetic, desesperate attempt to appease the players wanting solo queue.

People are starting to notice that Riot is full of shit, but it's going to stay that way, because unless everybody stops buying their pretty skins, then they're going to keep trying to shove their dynamic queue down our throats. They know that there can't be both a dynamic queue and a solo queue, because queue times would get even shittier than they already are, but they don't give a crap about their playerbase, they do whatever THEY think is right, just like Blizzard.

What if, Riot simply can't deliver on Solo Queue, for a reason they can't divulge? Maybe Tencent is just inherently against it and won't allow it (That's not actually how that works, but bear with me). What would you have them do then?

Dextix LT1 votes

So tell the people? Instead of promising soloq after a week, then after a month, and then tell it might not come at all.

Honesty, that is all people want.

MEMEME6701 votes

You say this, and I'd love to believe you, but nothing I've seen indicates that Riot has been intentionally dishonest at any stage here.

I'm not saying them saying Solo Queue was definitely coming and then not delivering is okay, because it's not. But it seems fairly obvious to me it was something like a mistake by someone who wasn't fully informed, something completely unexpected came up, etc.

And as such, I see no reason why people feel as if they haven't been being honest. Going back on your word because of a situation that comes up is different from saying something without the intention of fulfilling it. For example (And yes, I understand the scale of the example is somewhat extreme, this is simply proof of concept), if I said I was going to help you move and then my grandmother died and her funeral was on the day I said I'd help you, I'll have to go back on my word, but it would be okay.

They've already said everything they have to say on the matter. Of course they're not going to reply when the same thread is on the front page 10 times and says absolutely nothing new. What do you expect?

There has been several hundred by now.

Sadly, DQ is here to stay. It is so bad, that Riot is afraid to update the number of players play League of legends. Not since 2014. This season is flat out failure and we are only half way into it.

A lot of company's actually dictate on what the employees can or cannot comment on and about on public forms because it would mean they are speaking for the company. Im sure riot is not ignoring it and have talked it over.

Oelyk2 votes

For a reason, calling them out on that is kinda stupid. they know they exist and that the people who created them did not read when they said "Its not coming back, ever."

Stop asking for whats already gone and make more room for laughing fish memes and fan art.

I put it there because they constantly move remove my threads and tell me to put them somewhere else. 90% of the time my thread is in the correct place.

Im saying that riot should take attention of this section because they ignore us a bit here xD

Oh I see, that is very true.

the reason is if it is in misc its usually low quality content or non related league content. Why would a dev look here for information?

If they respond, it's gonna be "it's discontinued" and then a flame storm ensues.

Sadly, it really is something they should do. Not everything can always go peachy. Delaying it will only make them look worse over time and it's a possible feedback when making anything really. They are just failing a really basic thing that anyone has to deal with in any kind of work, negative criticism.

If people get too rowdy, well, there are forum rules if they go too far. I don't expect them to respond to every single little thing, but they really need to address at least some of the more important aspects people have been discussing. Not everyone can be happy, but it would be better overall.

Micbran1 votes

They've already said that solo queue is delayed or cancelled. Why would they need to reiterate themselves... Only to start a firestorm?

Lusoka1 votes

That isn't a finalized comment on the topic itself and it clearly is causing problems regardless by them not doing it. What would you consider the multiple threads that ask for it constantly? They're already getting angered fans, they're just flat out ignoring them though.

Really, in that context, they could actually say there is or isn't one and do the same thing with that thread. I gave my answer, doesn't respond to the thread anymore.

As I said before, if they don't go extreme to a point of breaking forum rules, that's a possibility with something people find negative. Same thing would probably happen if they decided to cancel Dynamic Queue to just bring Solo queue back, not to say they'd do that.

There is one thing though. You say that they would repeat pretty much the same thing, but it'd cause a firestorm. So since people reacted to it originally in this way, is this the rebuilt forums built from the ashes? They seem to have clearly survived stating an answer that isn't finalized, they'd probably make it.

Giving you what you want is not in their business model. Their job is to keep you playing and selling cosmetics to people with no impulse control. Is it working?

This is correct. Therefor you should stop playing this shit.
