Idea for Dynamic Queue
So I was watching the Dynamic Roundtable video from a little more than a month ago and noticed the various standpoints between Scarra, the Riot employees, and Gbay on preferences. Gbay really wanted his roles, Scarra wanted better queue times/game quality, and Riot is stuck in the dilemma of finding the right solution. What about exploring an option where you can further customize your ranked queues by putting lobby settings on your dynamic queue where the person/group can decide what he likes more? I can think of anof settings for dynamic queue:
Have the lobby leader set their preferences in terms of importance. Using the points from the video, you would rank role selection, queue time, and skill variance from most to least important. The system would then factor this in to balance your queue time/quality so that players like Gbay can wait 15 minutes for their guaranteed mid while somebody who are indifferent or have multiple preferences will enjoy a shorter queue time. This way, people feel more in control about the experience they want in their dynamic queue.
What are your thoughts on this?
