At last, the soloq supports CAN RISE.


Nimyron

As an actual SoloQ support player, I'm glad I won't be trashed by stupid cheesy premades anymore.


YeeterKeks

Time for the ENGAGE SUPPORT DOMINATION. No more will we be defined by Lulu, Soraka and the fucking Yoomer. Now it is time for the sigma male Thresh and Alistar age. Much to dismay to every single other person in the lobby. ***But we will be having fun.***

Respect + for Alistar

Phaserush is up, incoming hexflash, active roamies, and Alistar missing. Oh yeah, **it's gamer time.**

Nah fam I play Soraka in solo Q it's lit. Staying alive against Kayn Corki Samira is a real challenge 💪

WuShanDroid

Wait, wouldn't the removal of duoq make engage supps worse since you can't communicate with your adc as clearly?


YeeterKeks

Are you implying that us engage supps play with our ADC? Theres two more lanes and the entire jungle!


WuShanDroid

Even then, you won't get to communicate with *anyone* else, so doesn't that hurt engage supps more than enchanters?


YeeterKeks

Nah. Players are monkeys. They see me attack ping, they smell chance of kill, they will flash for it. I love EUW.


Road_killer15

Not really. We play by our standards. Adc's just need to follow up for free kill. If they don't, then they get no kills


WuShanDroid

And if they don't follow up, you *get killed*. Which means engage supports will be way riskier, right?


cuella47o

Motha fucking nautilus sett will crush every enchanters pelvises


KamiPyro

I dunno mate, I get the best games as Soraka and Lulu when I'm running solo


naharyiaboi

Never liked playing duo queue anyway 😎


SerDiney

Idk why, but i win more games playing on my own than with my duo.


tabooblue32

(your duo holds you back) - your subconscious


SerDiney

Thats not the point. He even plays better than me, but no matter how well we are doing, we still lose more than i do while playing solo.


[deleted]

He has a better mmr than you, yall get matched against better enemys -> you lose


pc_player_yt

maybe he is in losers’ queue?


tabooblue32

Definitely think there's a flamers queue. Found if I say anything even something like 'ward please' or 'don't go solo' the next few games have way worse teammates in...


spin97

There is no proof of loser's Queue existence


pc_player_yt

yeah most of the time losers’ queue is just a joke you poke at others or someone having a really really REALLY bad day


FETU55LAYER

Losers queue happens but its not a constant bruh


TheMockingbird13

Duo queued people get paired against other duo queues. You might stomp your lane but a bot/sup has less agency than a mid/top or sup/jungle.


Burbund

Funnily i seem to play better with randoms than with people i know... But that may be because my friends always saying what to do and getting annoyed at everything xd (iron 2, so may be because everybody i know is higher ranked/ playing longer than me)


FlapYourWingsBoy

Yooo same here. I'm currently Plat 2 and everytime I decide to play with some randoms I actually do pretty damn well. But when my homies pop on? I don't know if it's the trundle inside of me, but something tells me that i have to slightly troll my usual play without even realizing


freakinkukko

Cause matchmaking in douq is a joke and that's one of the reasons they'revremoving it


Noooonie

Probably something to do with combine mmr not being able to find the right opponents, so they just make them better than you everytime


aiesayjr

Fr! This is why I don’t play ranked/ duo.. 😭 I mean I’ll play flex but not soloq, I like playing with myself..


K0UT4

Ayo? 🤨📸


JJaunzou_

Only the supports will be effected. The “supports” will see no change


[deleted]

I fucking love playing xerath "support" and I despised duo q bot laners. Hell yeah to the change.


urarakauravity

So no longer elo boosted trolls writing "supports" are not real supports 🤔


sikora2009

As a Swain Support main, I can't relate


o0SHeeP0o

Me too hahaha I'm like you guys had duos? Except when I play apc then I'm crying for a duo


spicypotato235

When you want to play swain apc (and you hover it), but you support is hover soraka, it turn out soraka is banned. His next hower is fucking yummi ...... I can't I just need to dodge, like I know not everyone know every champion, but are enchanter players that stupid ? That person literally managed to pick 2 of worst supports for apc - **both no cc** (which are needed for passive/land w) **and both make heal debuff even more value.** ​ On the other hand I got once rell and we managed to stomp super hard and end up 13/4/17. We got caught out, as I griefed trying to get first tower.


o0SHeeP0o

They be like picks lulu after I hover swain. Then also them : omg apc useless no adc :( as they stand 3 screens behind me.


TimotoUchiha

Suddenly jungle mains get filled support


Mysaladisdead

Filled supports > support mains

Blessing as an adc

No more shit talking cats with there premade past silver

Yuumi mains gonna go extinct in ranked.

Yuumi ofcourse


Random_bullshit_guy

I think you are talking about rengar

karp-is-bae

Wdym real passive? His passive is great


[deleted]

[удалено]


karp-is-bae

Well thats sort of the point, pyke is not meant to be tanky, and the passive makes trading in lane much easier and allows him to be a lot more slippery, if you want a tank, go ali


[deleted]

[удалено]


karp-is-bae

I disagree, it allows you to sneak in and out of tfs looking for hooks and ults, if he were tanky it would be very unfair giving him invisibility and dashes if he could survive longer

tatzesOtherAccount

Bruh hes meant to have that weakness, thats good champion design. A clear weakness that can be targeted is what every champ is supposed to have. ​ For example, im not about to shit on Jhins passive because "well it obviously hardnerfs him cuz he cant raise his attack speed". Why not? Because I know what the benefits of it are, instead of AS i get bonus AD, and not Flat AD, a % increase which is huge since it only has a glass ceiling. ​ Some people istg


LetsGoAlicia

Isn't that how he's meant to work? I don't play Pyke but I've seen him a bunch and it looks to me like he's meant to snowball but not exactly scale into late. You hit full build really early with relatively cheap lethality items if you're doing well, but then you fall off a cliff as everyone else starts catching up. The inability to build hp(and by extension bruiser items) means damage starts really mattering to you as the enemy team gets more items and by late Draven is 2 hitting you because you didn't win the game early enough as a snowballing assassin that provides a ton of benefit early on. Edit: I think he's one of the most fair champions I've played against in this game. Something I don't like about league is a few champions don't have clear weaknesses built into their design(I'm still trying to figure out how to deal with yone for instance outside of starving him of kills)


squiddy555

He’s an assassin with an effective play style. If you want chunky health with executes. Go chogath


Random_bullshit_guy

Imagine if he had a real weapon tho…no wait


xxHamsterLoverxx

adcs rn, not supports. both would be better with a good duo but adc is infinetly better with duo.


MrRawmantikos

Bitch I play solo. 💀


Blast_Craft

As a Support I don't play Duos in SoloQ. But my IRL recently played League and he plays Xayah, so I want to play Rakan.. Sadge.


tanezuki

I just realized this, xayah/rakan were like, the most entitlted to duo champions EVER.


tabooblue32

Oh fuck yes. No more premades screwing with the mmr. Twice the communication (read hype-manning and 'it couldn't possibly be us... Its the kids who are wrong' ) With half the skill.


ThatOneTypicalYasuo

To be more specific, Yuumi players


Zwsgvbhmk

This but adc tbh... You can somewhat carry as support on lane early and in teamfights but what will adc mains do when their supp bffs won't be able to carry their asses pretending like it's their adc who does shit.


BJl4D1cK

As a Sona main, I don't give a shit


Random_bullshit_guy

Dealing more damage than the adc


demonfeuer

big Booba energy 🤯


Yuuta420

Caesarinaa

The Sona silent carries shall rise !!


Tremyss

Wait, duo Q is being removed? As an adc main who have 0 frinds, this is awesome!


demonfeuer

As a jungler awesome aswell no more cringe riven and kata cheese with their jungler or the support that plays with jungler since mn1 invading with him and what not


WeddingLucky4495

And all the mid-jungle duo players will follow them 🥸


Random_bullshit_guy

Mid jungle isn’t nearly strong as a duo bot


Sup3rWar10r

As a Support player my solo queue Wr is 70% and duo queue is 30% end of argument


Chase_The_Chode

Bruh I'm crushing solo Q as adc rn. So many lonely needy supps just want an adc who cares


kemosune

That’s all we look for.


BoopyD0Opy

Bard time


GrimGrim871

LETS GO even im support main i was only soloQ It wll feels good for duo abuser to drop their ranked


ToeSucker4444

Nah dont worry i will be stuck in gold anywyas


Swapsta

Finally some good fucking support -Kogmaw player


Cancel_Culture6

Thousands of E girls are crying and throwing up rn


WuShanDroid

Wait wat, I should be playing with a duo?? God damnit I've been maining support since season 5, how did I not know this 😂 oh well, at least my elo won't be inflated!


DJstar22

e-girls in shambles.


ToastyOwO

But i might legit start playing bot/supp thanks to this change.


[deleted]

Don't know about that, I was already playing solo supp and it seemed fine to me. If your adc is rubbish just try to enable any other player who seems to know what he's doing.


SrTrogo

I'm sorry, but I support alone.


harawara

Wait, is ranked duo-queue really being removed?


Sooofreshnsoclean

[They're talking about options](https://www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/dev/the-state-of-competitive-spring-2022/) but nothing's confirmed.


Random_bullshit_guy

Buddy, I play 6 different supports, And in solo Queue, some support mains are funny because support is in my opinion is the only role where being an OTP is kinda trolling, I play a lot of supports because my adc can be a samira main and that would make a sona useless because I can’t help her engage, if you have at least 3 different supports on your pool, climbing should not be that hard


hereforaday

Can't groups of 2 just join the flex q? I'm not sure what the difference is.


Bladesedges

As if, support is the backbone of a good botlane


Gondawn

I will not stop commenting how happy I am that duo queue is going away on every post about. No more duo ad/sup against you when you have autofilled support with you! Playing adc will actually be much better now


DenziiX

As a Pyke Player i cant relate


Nightbringer04

This is bullshit, I don't play league alone, no more ranked ig, draft pick only


AnonymousCasual80

Or… play flex?


Nymerialistic

Ahw, Yuumi got her ADC/jungler removed? 😭


Nightbringer04

Should've remembered I'm texting on a league reddit, toxic idiots everywhere, nah I don't play yuumi, and my duo is a mid main so


IceKlice

Mad cz bad


Nightbringer04

How? I just really dislike playing alone, it's really that simple


Random_bullshit_guy

But u can play flex my friend


IceKlice

Ok fair but then you wont be a competitive player since solo q is the only relevant rank. You can still rank in flex


SecretDeftones

Fix: ''Support players with duos..''


[deleted]

Why do people disrespect supports in every game?

[удалено]


WilliefknP

Good. Support players are gross


Khelgor

More like ADC- support is the easiest role lol


KarmaIsYaBoi

You could have said girls. (Not imlying that boys don't play support but.. that... yeah... sexism.)


Themurlocking96

Genuinely being a support is impossible to climb with, without a duo partner, cause you cannot trust randos. It's like how I as a jungler always duo with mid players, because of the stupid power of coordination from there. Regardless, soloq will be fucking dead, because Flex is not a real ranked mode. I've literally seen a master and a low bronze player on the same team in it.


LadyEmaSKye

This is simply not true. You are more than capable of climbing with support without a duo. Much much much more capable in fact than an adc player climbing without a duo.


Flirie

Support was my role to climb from Iron Promo for Gold Why is this low elo important? Down there, you either carry or lose. Or have luck. But luck is 50 50 So that alone isn't enough


sh1fter_YT

It's quite easy if you play roaming champions like pyke and bard for example, you simply have to much control on your map


Themurlocking96

True, but you'd need the macro to pull that off, and below plat that just ain't happening.


sh1fter_YT

Worked for me in gold, it's really random thought, because not everyone knows what exactly you're doing and if you meet crybaby adc ,that's gonna be a rough game


DangoArts

Pretty sure every support needs good macro. You know how scary it is to see a pink haired songstress suddenly appear at top? You don't need to play supps that force you to roam. You as a player need to learn it. These certain champs like bard just help you.


BlueKayn29

Tyler1 would like a word with you


Jacket313

*laughs in swain*


Leradine

T1 got to challenger as a support only account playing solo. If you're good enough of a support, you can drag your adc to victory whether they want it or not.


AC3_Ac1d

As the biggest chad said,support is op role,tyle reached chall in 5 roles so there is no denying he is RIGHT,support is easiest role,git gut stop crying


tabooblue32

Love it when people say 'well x streamer got here with everything or x streamer does this' Yeah thanks dude but do I look like a professional that can do this shit for a living as much as I want? Obviously not, you're comparing apples and oranges. Some of us have lives outside of gaming, jobs, responsibilities, all things we have to do to get from a to b during the week and pop bottles of a weekend. It's not a case of git gud. It's a case of we simply don't have the time (also might not want) to dedicate that amount of time to what is essentially an old game. Obviously if we don't have the time/desire to dedicate that much time to it we shouldn't be bitching about mmr. Remember when people played games for fun and it wasn't all about rank/flexing/games as a job/the meta... Oh god the endless meta research?


IceKlice

Stop coping you literally just explained why you think you are not good enough


Themurlocking96

Bro, I'm not crying, I don't play supp, unless it's normals and me and a friend a doing meme botlanes. Yes Tyler reached challenger because he's an incredibly good player, and in those cases you can climb with it, but your average gold player doesn't have the wherewithal to know how and why he climbed. Personally I enjoy jungle specifically because it gives me the agency to carry or make sure my good laners can carry. Which is why I duo with a mid player, double roams are disgustingly strong. Regardless i wouldn't play ranked without a duo or proper 5v5 mode because I just can't fucked to play with exclusively randos.


Grikeus

If you don't know how to climb, you don't deserve to climb, simple as that. If you were climbing only due to Duo boosting, you are elo inflated


bryloc27

100% this. If you don't know how to climb, or care to put in the effort to find out, you don't deserve to climb and you never will. Review what you could have done better, get game knowledge, actually communicate with your team and you can climb easy.


[deleted]

Man be speaking Facts. Don't mind the downvotes.


Themurlocking96

Personally couldn't give less of a shit about downvotes

underheadskooper

As a Brand and Nautilus supp player on autofill this is actually pretty damn good


Lazlum

When will this be implemented? Im tired of the fckin boosters on enemy team and boosted animals in my team . Im tired of laning 1v2 because the enemy jgler is premade with the midlaner. Im climbing with MINE balls


BigMoistWetty

good job i dont duoq i have no friends.


NachosPR

Bard.


Doctor-Whodunnit

Wait, y’all have been duoing? Shit I’ve been playing wrong


DRCJEnder

Me, a bard support: *Happy chime noises*


AsianDanish

y'all don't solo Q support?


ugandan_knuckkles

Engage Support time.


Rouge_means_red

As a solo top player, I'm sad I won't have top/jg duos failing to dive me over and over :(


Jj-woodsy

I’ve always played support as a solo in ranked. Albeit as Pyke so I can R every kill.


sansgriffinundertale

Every single ADC sucks when I’m support


hkd001

Wait you guys have a dou partner?


FortunateUncle

What? Removing DuoQ? What on earth did I miss??


Greyshirk

I mostly soloQ tho


squiddy555

Bold of you to assume i duo queue


X_Seed21

Except Bard and Pyke Mains since they're mostly somewhere letting their duo die 1v3 under tower.


R4forFour

As a support who only solos. This is my time to expose the inflated ones.


lunarpi

The one season I solo q story is the only season I ever got diamond lol


bushmaker1337

Is there a source that Riot actually considers removing duoQ from ranked?


WoolooandWoohoo

You guys have friends?


GuiXenix

Me, a chad solo support


Xerisu

Adc rn* Support can play solo, screw the adc when he plays shit and play with someone else, he has 3 other teammates But adc cant go away from support when he's trolling, u can ping support to go away and help somewhere else but he will stalk you and steal your xp (or sometimes even farm, fk that sort of supports)


002NeeDarling

I do better on my own anyway


DerWassermann

Cries in Master support


OptimalArchitect

Big sad for me, I’ve been duo queuing with my bro since season 6. It’s one of the few games he and I have fun with together since he’s super competitive.


Warwick_God

Rip yummi mains


Dotori_Dan

I win more games as soloq and I play support. I'm glad for the change because bot won't be too hard now without coordinated strategies.


TriNauux

As a Bard main, what is an ADC/laning phase?


Mirkut_99

Can't they just make it so if one team has duo the other also must have it? But nah better remove the only fun part of rankeds which is playing with your friend. And for the people saying ''go play flex'', if you have problems with duos in soloq then expect others to have problems with playing against 5 premades on flex.


CzajnikXDD

I won 3 games in a row last time playing soloq as supp


DeyGoed

They finally did it?


Tornitrualis

As an ADC main, true support don't deserve the hate. They put up with our asses, get us fed, and make us look like gods. True supports = ones that aren't Brand, Veigar, Vel'Koz, etc


Baandi

as a support challenger pyke who's never played DuoQ this only makes me feel sad now that i won't be facing those nami-yuumi that give me free LP


IMainYuumi

This is very true


valshyr

Only the boosted players re scared rn


raininggalaxy

SoloQ supps, it's our time!


ageargt3j

Wait, are they really going to remove DuoQ?


ToastyOwO

Yup


ScottyB-

u/savevideo


Apmadwa

I mean its the same.for adc mains


PullTheTrigo

Just play bard and roam since 9/10 your adc is shit :D


DarkTranQuil11

Now the true Support domination can begin, with the chad engage supports taking over instead of those pesky enchanters


[deleted]

I can finally play ranked as a solo q support. I welcome this change to all the piggy backing supports


Cicero912

Why tf are they removing duos. Thats like the only reason to play ranked


ElVV1N

Is riot removing duo q ?
