Why is Riot ignoring the SoloQ threads? (im not bashing DQ)

Before anyone thinks im going to bash DQ like all the others, sorry to disappoint but im not going to. I know the issue is not with DQ like most people think. The real issue is the fact that Solo Q and Duo Q were both REPLACED by DQ.

If solo q were to be put back in along side DQ i dont think people would have a problem and we wouldnt constantly see threads every day calling for the return of solo q.

Now my question is, considering the increase of momentum we are constantly seeing for these threads, why has Riot not acknowledged the community on this issue? It is clear that more and more people are speaking out for the return of this mode. I know the forum community is not the majority but others cannot act as though they dont see anything in the in-game chat saying that only having DQ is stupid and others cannot act as though this is not a problem.

I know people would argue about longer queue times, but honestly i think A) that is just a bullshit excuse and B) people would rather have to wait an extra minute or 2 to have a fair and balanced match in solo than have to keep being on a team of randoms while going up against premades with a clear advantage.

But like i said, im not bashing DQ because it would be there for the premades and good for them and anyone who wants to play in it, but it doesnt excuse the fact that more and more people are wanting solo q back to have a more even playing field and to actually have their games mean something like they used to.

So Riot, we eagerly await your response that doesnt involve some PR runaround bullshit like was given in the past. Im trying to make this a civilized thread so any response given (at least to me) will be met with a reasonable response/discussion.

DQ and SQ can not coexist. It's been explained many times why they can't work together

Riot ignores the problem because there is no real fix.

If they put both queues in it would destroy DQ because a majority of ranked players would go back to the relative sanity of SQ, leaving queue times in DQ at insane highs.

DQ queues are already easily 10+ minutes most days for roles outside support at any given tier.
