Solo Q is returning for 2017. LINK

TL;DR: For players near the top of the ladder, we’re bringing back solo queue and making a number of other changes focused on competitive integrity. For 2017, we’re developing a new ranked experience that offers legitimate competitive standings for all types of players. We’ll have details on the 2017 features in late September—you can read on for the short-term changes planned.
We’re focused on the top first because that’s where the 2016 ranked season changes have caused the most pain, and where we believe we can take immediate action to address player feedback. Accurate standings are critical when determining the top of the ladder, and we’re committed to addressing that with the following changes:

Challenger tier will shift to pure solo, and Diamond and Master tiers to solo/duo. We’re making this change first at Diamond / Master / Challenger because even minor levels of premade coordination have disproportionate effects on match quality at the highest tiers of ranked, given the limitations of the player pool and the sometimes massive skill disparities between single divisions.

We’re tightening the decay rules in Challenger and Master tier to encourage healthier competition at the highest level of play.

We want to raise the bar on how we recognize players who hit the top of the ladder at the end of the competitive season, so we’re working on new physical rewards for Challenger (more details coming soon).

We’re adding an autofill ‘grace period’ for all players and a guarantee that you’ll never be autofilled during a promotion series. Autofill is essential for ensuring shorter queue times during off-peak hours, but it can be pretty obnoxious if it happens back-to-back (this generally only happened at Master+).

Bye bye qt/Dom/Annie bot/Dyrus quadro :(

Can't click the link at work.

Is it eventually going to make it's way to Plat and below?

I kind of like being able to queue with multiple friends.

I wouldn't be opposed to having an alternate version of ranked, being solo only.

First ranked game of the night, our luc leaves the game at 1:30 and tells us to remake...rejoins game at 10 minutes.

Enemy team has lee sin mid and he wrecks the rest of the team. (this lee had nearly 500 ranked games as lee)

This games community, I swear

ETA: FYI, you can only remake if someone doesnt connect

ETA2: I don't think I've seen a group of shittier players than LeBron and I played with tonight.

Of the 7 games we played, we lost 5 and they werent even close.

Our bot lane in the 5 games we lost went a combined 19/79. In each of those games one or both of the bot laners died withint the first 3-5 minutes, and all 5 games the enemy carries had at least 5 kills at 10-12 minutes.

I've never seen so many God awful players this consistently in my life

Casual reminder that TSM is 11-1 combined against these two teams.

Shows how poor NA is right now.

God these teams suck so bad.

Lol. I've watched tons of LPL and LCK. You clearly haven't.

NA is absolutely awful and their meta will get destroyed.

Fanboy on though Drew, all you every do. So old. Probably think TSM has a shot at Worlds too.

TSM GONNA WIN IT ALL!!!

Reality: be lucky to make it out of groups

CLG/C9/IMT won't make it out of groups either. Deal with it.

How is EDG doing again?

LOLOLOL OOPS

Epic fail for Drew.

Because I said EDG?

And they just went 18-0 and are a Top 3 team in the World.

Also, just because you quit playing League doesn't mean you get off on the ban bet for higher ranking placement this season.

I'm currently Gold 4 so you have about 2 months to pass me before you have to ban yourself.
