Dynamic Queue Dilema

Riot just announced that Solo Queue will not be a thing, and they are getting a lot of hate over it.

I think if they did a client-wide poll - so that EVERY person who plays would see it - asking people if they have positive or negative thoughts about dynamic queue would be a great idea.

Not only would this eliminate the idea that "most people hate dynamic queue, go back to solo", it would help to show what the REAL majority of players want, not just what the vocal community wants. The boards and reddit are filled with people flaming over how they hate dynamic queue and want solo, but most people (myself included) don't really find the need to be all vocal about how bad it is because we don't find it to be a bad thing in the first place.

I think that ship has sailed.

Unfortunately, Riot cooks the surveys in such a way that their statistics easily support the course of action they want.

"Do you like being able to queue with multiple players in ranked?" rather than "Do you prefer dynamic queue over solo/duo queue?". Or, from the video, Riot attributing the increased participation in ranked and lower toxicity to dynamic queue, when it might very well be due to the new role selection.

...and pointing out that Riot's heard a lot of people asking for premade flexibility - sure, but the players who liked the old system didn't get a chance to say what they liked before Riot had taken it away.

As above said, if you've seen some of their other surveys, you understand they word things in such a way that its impossible to give the answer they want
