Dyanamic Queue (The Ranked One), Didn't need to exist in the first place

The Idea of ranked to me is how well you stack up against everyone, how far you can climb on your own, to truly show how good you are the game. Dynamic Queue kinda of just side steps that, while generally according to Riots Statistics you will most likely only play 2-5% of your games with like lets say a 4-man pre-made, so the argument that those games lead to a huge disappointing experience for ranked is blown a little out of proportion.

BUT, for the players that use the Dynamic Queue system, and are mixed in with Solo Queue players, it kind of screws up the ranked Latter, as a Player who exclusively plays with 5 man pre-mades, who is Diamond, is not on the same Skill level as a player who exclusively players Solo and is Diamond as well. As there is a HUGE difference between coordinated team play and Solo Queue play (As seen on the LCS).

This is why Dynamic Queue shouldn't have been made in the first place, you already had normals for that, the only advantage to it was that people who Queue with 2,3, or 4 people, now can play in a more competitive Environment, which to me isn't really needed, as when I play with my friends, I do it more for the fun aspect of just casually playing and having a conversation while playing a couple of normals. Ranked provides a more stressful environment, and if you wanted to play seriously with friends you would generally do that with a 5-man pre-made in Team Ranked.

Dynamic Queue (Ranked Version) is catering towards the more casually audience of League, which for the most part makes up a large portion of the League Of Legends Community, but thats not what the Ranked experience is about, its not meant to be casual, its meant to be where players can show there true skill level, on how they stack up against everyone else, in an ever changing environment (Different Teams Every Game).

Its a bit to late for Riot to back pedal on Dynamic Queue, its been out far to long and has been in development for far to long to ever be removed. Which in my opinion it Should be removed, but the players who queue up with there friends and play it currently it would be a big Fk you to them. Its a big Fk you to either audience, which is honestly ALL Riots fault for ever coming up with the Idea of Dynamic Queue.

Dynamic Queue was a big mistake on Riots end, that in the long term they decided they were going to cater to the more casual audience of League Of Legends then the Competitive Audience, which both could have co-existed (Normals and Solo Queue), but Riot Fucked up.

NOTE: To Clarify when I refer to Dynamic Queue I refer to the Ranked version in which you queue up with friends not the one in normals draft and such.

Well actually regardless of whether you prefer Solo or Dynamic, there is one thing everyone needs to understand: League is a Team-Based game.

Ranked is not "how well can you carry 4 other people" it is suppose to be "how well can you perform as a team". Everyone has a very very warped view of what Rank means, they are wrong, it is not how well you personally perform by yourself. This game was meant to be played as a team and Dynamic Queue is an attempt to step the game in that direction, something Riot has wanted for awhile it seems. Unfortunately since the game has been Solo Queue for so long, it is really screwing up Dynamic Queue for both the Solo Queue people and the Dynamic Queue people.

Dynamic Queue is how the game was originally meant to be played, and despite the fact that Dynamic Queue is currently not working as intended, it is a step in the right direction.

Just pointing out League started out with Dynamic Q then said FU to those players and went solo for 4 seasons and now went back.
