Taric suddenly removes his shirt, charming all enemies in front of him for 1 second and dealing 100(+0.69 Armor) magic damage. Any male enemies hit by Dazzle will also have Uncontrollable Raging Boner applied, reducing move speed by 75% for 3 seconds.
Passive: Taric's auto attacks against enemies affected by Uncontrollable Raging Boner deal an additional 25 true damage and grant Taric and his allies vision of the target for 4 seconds.

Can someone explain what solo Q actually is? Fairly new player here.


K8.0 posted:

People still call it solo queue even though you can 5 man it now. They just mean the level 30 + 16 champions ranked mode where you are bronze/silver/gold/platinum/diamond/master/challenger. Alternatively they may be talking about the actual solo queue ranked mode which riot promised to bring back but won't actually happen.


Zerilan posted:

Before dynamic queue you could only queue by yourself or with one other person in ranked.

Both those answers are right but don't really give the whole picture.

Before if you wanted to play a Ranked game of league, you queued up in "solo queue" as they call it. This queue allows groups of 1-2 people only. You would be matched up only with other players who also solo queued( or duo queued with a friend).

When Riot implemented the new Dynamic queue for ranked it replaced the old system. Now players can be in groups of 1-5 players and you will get matched against any other combination of players whether it be 5 people on their own, or 2 pairs of people and a loner, or 4 friends and one random guy etc. People don't like this because they want to be rated based solely on their play and not have it influence by groups of people/friends, so Riot said they would implement a true "Solo Queue" where people would only be matched against other players queueing by themselves, with no premade groups allowed. Now Riot is saying, ehhh its not worth the effort. Because it isn't and its a dumb idea and people are babies.

Don't bother jungling with Yorick. His gimmick is that you make the opposing top laner have such a miserable game that they're even more irrelevant than you are. Picking Yorick is basically saying "I think my team can win 4.5 vs 4 if one member on my team got to live 10 seconds longer"

If the other top laner is bad and feeds you instead of just getting forced out over and over and losing 90% of the CS, you get to do frightening damage while slowing everyone to a crawl. But mostly you just invalidate enemy toplaner and give your ADC ten extra seconds of DPS in a teamfight.

And you are almost doubling their DPS during a fight with the ghost up

Unless I am doing the math wrong there's a not insignificant chance for you to get the exact same dragon 3 times in a 30 minute game. This seems bad, to me.

They said the buffs will stack with themselves though. So if you get 3 of the same your whole team is either:
Hitting people with a burn that hurts really bad
Healing/Regening a good amount of health/mana
Hitting towers really hard
Moving around the map really fast

I like all of those things

Needs heart dragon. Also, instead of just picking one at random and spawning it until it's dead, the dragons should come in a fixed order, and leave if not engaged for like 1 or 2 minutes, to be replaced by the next one in sequence. That way, your team can wait for or skirmish until the one it wants is up, and then has a limited window to fight for it.

I mean, this is a good idea but I can see why they did what they did. If you are just waiting for your team comp's "optimal" dragon buff, it will result in both teams trying to pick comps that work with whatever dragon comes up first. At least in competitive that's what it will boil down to.

Edit: And the whole point of re-doing dragon like this is so that games dont become stale and same-y. you will have to adjust the way you play depending on what dragon comes up, and every game will be different. I like the dragon changes.

That's a good point. Maybe roll the dice on the first spawn, and then cycle them. I just foresee my team comp really wanting red dragon, and theirs really wanting blue, and all that spawns is blue, blue, blue. We have to fight it or they get a huge advantage, but winning gives us next to nothing. I'd much prefer if we had the choice to let them get blue, and plan to fight for red, or maybe try and drag out a lane skirmish long enough that they miss the blue.

Acting like blue(or whatever color really) is worthless to your team is the wrong idea.

Star Warrior X posted:

Please forgive my hyperbole. I didn't really mean worthless, but rather worth less. It looks like the dragon buffs are geared toward flavors of comps (poke, siege, rotation/splitpush, fight), and if I have comp type A and the dragons that spawn are B, C, and D only, my team is at a disadvantage that I have no ability to predict or offset, either during champ select or during the game. Your contention is that that disadvantage is small, but Riot's stated goal is to make dragons more important than they are now, which suggests that the benefits of getting a dragon buff synergistic with your team comp will be significant.

If one team has the opportunity to get a strong buff that the other team does not, because of RNG, that is a less good mechanic than one which allows strategic play to counteract.

I think the point is you are supposed to recognize if its a strong buff for the other team and then prioritize denying the dragon from them.Or you know that they will put a big priority on getting the dragon and you can play around that.
The enemy team has the same chance of getting sub-optimal spawns as yours. There is nothing about this mechanic that doesn't allow strategic play to counteract.
