My mouse has a blue LED in it that is pretty and makes me get 3 more cs per minute.

The cheaper your peripherals the better you are. Plus if you rage break one you can replace it for the price of a League skin.

According to a riot Korea rep solo queue is on hold. There it will die alongside all of the other on hold features, such as replays, magma chamber, and the new client

What kind of mouse do you use, maybe that's my problem,..... I feel like I just can't get the hang of cs at all even tho I've been doing this forever; it's with a wireless mouse on a pretty crappy laptop. Maybe that's it. Or maybe I'm just going senile in my twenties DX

Also I usually support or jg anyway. Meme man out

I use a naga hex [razer]...I used to use a razer abyssus before and I like Both a lot.

they're going to begrudgingly add solo queue as an option for master+ players to shut them up by the end of the year

edit: option is the wrong word, they just make the master+ players queue like the old ranked and only let people duo at most and people that want to play 5s can go make a challenger team

because lately there's been a massive loving circle jerk by the more vocal members of the thread that Riot is Good and can do no bad and so everything they do must be great for the game even when whatever it is they are doing is provably making the game worse

I honestly don't mind that solo queue isn't coming back. I just wish that Riot would stop doing this thing where they say something will happen, they have no roadmap to making it actually happen, and then it never happens. Just say it up front "dunno guys."

ok I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't a reason actually grounded in reality for people hating on soloqueue because any argument against it seems very stupid.

I just tried to come back to the game after not really playing it for around a year, and last time I played they had just implemented the team builder for a few months prior. I thought it was the greatest change for the game - being able to finally select who I want to play before I actually queue and not having to deal with premades. I started playing much more frequently after it was implemented, but had to quit for a while due to RL issues. I just tried to play a game today and was shocked and cofused to see team builder gone, and the only way I can queue is by being forced to choose at least two roles now?

This seems strictly regressive to me, and made me immediately uninstall the game after doing some research and seeing that its not coming back.

No company ever says no before they're sure it is no and sometimes no even then. It makes no sense to.

I like how the responses to my complaints about solo queue not coming back has gone from actual discussion to 3 people telling me im autistic to this low effort poo poo. if you're gonna be contrarian can you at least put some effort into it rather than putting out some low effort bait post that looks like it comes from Door Frame v1.0?

Getting rid of solo queue is bad for the long term health of the game and I think it's only a matter of time before Riot realises that.

if riot had a great deal of concern for the 'long term health' of the game I'm pretty sure the client would be able to pause by now. or have replays. or both. you know, pretty standard features for a competitive videogame in tyool 2016. instead it seems like riot just treats the entire community like drooling retards and tells them they don't actually want these features even though they think they do. theyve spent so long hiring a bunch of yes-men and people who drink their kool-aid that they're starting to lose touch with the actual people that play the game.

christ, how long have replays been in the pipeline now supposedly? 3 years? ive been playing this game on and off since beta, and the only thing sadder than seeing riot repeat the same bullshit rhetoric over and over again is the fact that people keep falling for it.

Playing solo isn't a good idea in dynamic queue now because chances are high you'll be thrown against 3-4 man premades and you're at a disadvantage, either because there won't be one on your team at all, or there will and they'll refuse to coordinate with/help you and blame you for everything.

Dynamic ranked is pretty fun though if you always play with friends.

Trust me, I am very aware of who Lyte is and I'm pretty sure he triggers me more than any other person on the planet. From his eternal moral high-ground to his pseudo-psychological reasonings for game mechanics/features that amount to "we know you think you would like this, but we've done ~studies~ that say otherwise".

Its not hard to play solo queue. Just don't be a toxic poo poo and communicate with pings and people will generally help. If you can't handle that then I'm ashamed of you. I will tell you that I solo queue in cs:go a lot too, though, but there, unlike league, at the top mm levels people stop being the level of toxic i've seen in moba communities.

I am sorry that my criticisms of your precious game seem to have triggered you, but I did actually make pretty thoughtful points on this very page that you just decided to ignore apparently. I'm glad a lot of people around here like Dynamic queue and I have no problem with it existing, but I think Riot is smart enough to piece together a game where both Dynamic and Solo queues can exist together. There is really no reason why people who like one can use one and people who like the other can use the other.

I actually would really like to be playing League right now because it can be very fun, but if Riot makes it not fun for me I'm not going to play it. I don't have time like I used to, and when I log in I want to play the champion I want to play without having to battle with people over it before I even get into the game. I really don't think this is unreasonable.

Also, I only noticed the Phreak tweet since I follow Overwatch and that got posted in an Overwatch thread.
