Why Dynamic Queue in Ranked is Toxic

OHminus··2 votes·985 views

While I haven't touched ranked this season, I have played a number of normal draft games with the new champ select. Now that people are allowed to group as 3,4, or 5 in ranked, here is one huge problem players will face:

Group toxicity. It was already bad enough to be at the end of a duo queue's flame, but it's even worse now. People are now allowed to play ranked in larger groups, which sucks for solo queue players. Not only do these groups have an advantage in communication (usually) but they also tend to gang up on the solo queue players when the team is losing (or not even - toxicity can spawn from anywhere, really). For example, if a jungler who's solo queue has all his laners be a 4 man queue, then of course that jungler will be the one blamed whenever something goes wrong. If the jungler ganks bot, gets a kill, but mid and top die solo 3x.... that's on the laners, not the jungler. The laners have no excuse to whine and bitch at the jungler just because he's not in the room or the skype call. It's almost as if Rito doesn't want anyone to solo queue anymore.

Expect more details about improved organized play later in the year. To be clear, ranked queues for the 2016 season are:

Dynamic Ranked A few weeks after season start: Solo Ranked

Honestly, I have like played 40-50 ranked games and haven't had a problem. I even grouped up with some randoms on my other account and had some fun. Haven't noticed its not solo/duo queue at all. So maybe you should try it instead of make assumptions?

Maybe you should chill? I have tried dynamic queue, which is basically the ranked champion select and game mode. I have encountered tons of toxic 3 mans and 4 mans on there. My only assumption here is that these toxic groups are more frequent/worse in ranked. Personally, I don't touch ranked because I play league to have fun, not to rank up and get to a certain rank. Have some respect for those filthy casuals out there :)

Group toxicity.

I tend to agree.

Having been stuck as the odd man out in groups of 4 queuers... the experience was quite atrocious, worse than any pubs I've had. That being said, Riot has stated that they WILL create a True Solo Queue this season so just give it some time.

"While I haven't touched ranked this season" pretty much sums up why this thread should be down voted.
