I'm excited for two ranked queues...

One I can try my hardest in, and one I can play with my friends, even if I don't have 5 people on for a full premade. Anyone else having similar thoughts?

I plan on only playing Flex, even solo. I've generally had good experiences with premades, no so much with other solo players.

until you deal with the toxic solo player who throws a tantrum because they didnt get a gank. then ints

Until? How does that change what I said in the slightest?

I am excited that 4 man's r not gonna be a thing. 3 games ago or something I played a game as Olaf with 4 premadrs they all intentionally picked troll stuff and banned wukong rengar and hec.... The only champions I am decent with. Oh and when we were winning they decided to ff.

A few days ago I was with a four man that acted extremely normal, what's your point? 4 mans are still going to be a thing in Flex Queue, and that's where I'll be.

the current dynamic queue is used by both solos and premades. The future flex will be used mostly by premades (unless there's like only 1 month left in season 7). Ur experience with premades in flex might be different from ur experience in current queue mode

Same here^^ Now I don't have to guilt-trip while I play solo because I can queue up with my brother in the other queue (Don't get me wrong, we win a lot together, but I wanna see how far I can go this year by myself too).

Yep. Solo is where i will try my hardest, flex is will be my testing ground. If i feel like im good enough with a champion for Solo, i'll first run a few games of it in flex. If im unable to do atleast decent in flex with it, its not ready for solo and I need to go back and practice more. Probably going to try to give the champ 2-3 games unless its extremely obvious after the 1st game if I should or should not be playing them in Solo. Like if I'm feeding out of control on them and cant find a single way to be useful afterwards i dont think i'll need a second game to figure it out. Im also going to use flex queue to try to get rid of some of the rust on champions i used to play often and want to use them again and test some off meta picks that have been working in normals. Probably going to play Flex on new champion/rework releases too so i dont have to risk my solo rank on an ally picking that release and feeding or an enemy pick that release and carrying. Probably going to play my flex placements 1st to try to get a better grasp on the meta before trying my solo placements.

Eh, I'm probably just going to play Flex Queue until I hit Gold for rewards, then stick to Solo/Duo Queue.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Flex Queue just dies due to a lack of solo or duo players. If 3-man and 4-man premades unable to fill their remaining slots in a time-effective manner, the queue will probably fail.

I'll be trying new champs in flex and playing serious in solo

You should probably still play new champs in normals. Even if you're not gonna take flex that seriously, there are some people who will, don't be that guy that ruins it for them.

I would have never given a shit about how bad dynamic queue was if they gave solo players compensation for dealing with that shit

reduced LP losses when getting stomped by dynamic queue and reduced Lp gains for stomping with dyna q

you can have two rank's next season? meaning my solo/duo mmr wont be affected by dynamic mmr? cause i'd love to play with my tryhard premades climbing through dia and having the ability to also play with my irl friends who are plat and gold.

That Is what I understood, also, apparently there are rewards for getting to gold in both.

dominusxNov 7, 20161 votes

double rewards. can play both with my duo to improve and irl friends? sounds good to me

AeszarckNov 7, 20161 votes

I plan on playing flex mostly, solo or premade, and maybe just finishing my provisionals in solo queue. My dynamic queue experience has been better than my solo/duo queue one.

I'll try my best in both queues though!

I am more excited to do my promos again. This season I lost 7 out of 10 because my dumass played ranked in the JUNGLE with NO RUNES ON WUKONG. Oh and I built Titanic Hydra into cinderhulk.
