Whats a Queue?
I've been playing league for awhile but I don't know exactly what Dynamic Queue is or what Solo Queue is, and I keep hearing about how bad Dynamic is and how Solo should come back. Plz someone tell what I'm missing?!

Probably the wrong board to post on, but I'll answer anyway!
A "queue" is the time you wait to find a game.
Solo/duo queue was the old ranked system they used, where you could only play ranked games by yourself or with a friend.
Dynamic queue is the current one we're using right now. Where you can play with as many people as you like.
Solo/Duo Queue was the Ranked mode where you could join just by yourself or with one friend. Most people just refer to it as Solo Queue.
There was also at the same time a Team Ranked queue, which you had to join with a full party of 5 players to play, and you had to create a Team to play with them. It was too restrictive in the sense that you could only play with members of your team, and you didn't have unlimited chances to swap members. It was didn't have enough restrictions because you could team with anyone of any rank.
These were both removed, and replaced with the new Ranked Dynamic Queue (DQ). You can queue by yourself or with up to 4 friends as long as you are of similar rank, and there's no need to manage a team.
I'd say the biggest complaint about DQ is that people feel matches are unfair when they face a premade group larger than ones on their team, or that (for some reason) premade groups are toxic and gang up on the solo in their group to bully them.
