remove the teambuilder queue requiring a friend.

my issue is that there are no lobbys almost because everyone needs a friend now. i think that when the demand is high it should do that but once the demand goes down turn the requirement off.

You can still solo queue teambuilder, you just cant host a teambuilder lobby by yourself. This is a good feature because the solo queue players who host a lobby slow down the matchmaking.

Unless that solo queue player wants to, I don't know, run teleport as an ADC. Then they get kicked from 5 groups in a row in between leaving queues that go duo-marksman as opposed to a support.

Well then find some friends that are willing to play with a teleport adc and make a teambuilder lobby with them. Otherwise just conform to the social norms.

Yes they do, and everyone else has the right to kick the player using spells they don't like from their lobby. The asocial who do unorthodox playstyles either need to accept that or play blind/draft pick.

Why should we accept that when it's much easier to just let us be team captains?

Because I don't want to have to suffer through extensively longer matchmaking time just so that a couple of people can be unique little snowflakes.

Teambuilder is meant for quick and efficient matching of players who all agree to each others playstyle. If your playstyle is not desired then there are other queues designed for that.

So basically because your needs are more important than mine. True in your own head, not so much in the real world. Riot should respect us.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Guess what? You are the few and I am the many in this scenario.

Yes, but there's also this concept called "tyranny of the majority".

If you for even a moment think the word tyranny could possibly apply to this situation, you must have led a spoiled life.

really? if you read the post it says "there are no lobbies" because no one has a friend online at that moment.in other words if no one online has a friend online at the same time it kills the sum total number of lobbies. and if there are no lobbies, there are no games.
