Please, try to understand that Riot Games is a company...

... and they're trying to do whatever they can to please us, their customers, because it's in their best interest. You can bitch and whine all you want, but if they have data showing that the majority of players likes dynamic queue more than solo queue, they're going to keep dynamic queue and try to solve the problems that the minority has with the system. This concept is very easy to understand. If you don't want to support dynamic queue, then stop playing ranked (or LoL entirely) and show them that you don't agree with their decision. That's the only power you have as customers. Complaining on the boards won't change anything at all.

The thing is that that might be right, but the players that "prefer" dynamic queue are probably not the type of players Riot can hope to retain, anyway. These are the type of people who are likely to quit the game after a year or so for another game anyway regardless of how good the game is. Catering to your regulars will always be the safest bet.

while I agree that riot is a company the majority is not always correct when they decide things.

a small group of people over time can often make changes that a larger group of people lack the ability to do simply because they are more focused on a single goal rather than pleasing the larger portion of their members.

Riot sides with a large portion of their playerbase because that's what makes money, however if in fact the decision to do so removes the flow of income because the people who put in the most money the smaller portion of players who instead of fanboy following riot around are actually invested in the company through their purchases, suddenly begins to fade, then they are left with the majority of players who even though they will support riot on their ideas and concepts rarely spend any money on the game itself.

Final words: it takes hundreds of people to declare a war formally, it only takes one person to stop the war entirely
