Would triple my queue time to guarantee I don't play with groups.

Basically title. Not all groups are bad, I'd venture to guess 50% of them are okay and good, per my experiences, but when I solo queue (about 50% of the time these days), I only want solos on my team. I don't mind playing against groups, just playing with is not a positive experience (usually chat spam, or such terrible attitudes that I end up reporting the entire group), and I end up having to mute everyone about 30 seconds in. Will there ever be a return to actual solo queue? Could this be an opt in action?

no making a q thats actually only soloq would require too many ressources that this company doesnt have. /s

Why is this being downvoted? It's a legit request... add a checkbox to play "singlets only". It avoids the large elo variance that many groups have, and also avoids the toxicity that comes with getting scapegoated by a group of friends (which is not rare by any means).

  1. Its not just queue time that is increased. MMR difference is increased too, which may result in even less quality in matchmaking
  2. You may agree to increase your time for this. Others would prefer finding a game faster. You can't please both

chat spam, or such terrible attitudes that I end up reporting the entire group

Easier to solve with mute

"Return" means that it was a solo queue once. It wasn't

Could this be an opt in action?

No, because it will basically split the queue in 2: those that use the option, and those that don't. This will decrease game quality and increase queue time for both groups

Riot for some reason are in love with duos. I don't get it. WE GOT FLEX NOW. It's not like season 1-2 when it was solo/duo 5-man premade.

Let people play soloque. Pure soloque.
