You don't deserve to have league installed if you are intentionally playing in conditions where a black out is even considered.
You shouldn't even be playing ANY game if you are living in those conditions. You know what you should be doing instead? TRYING TO BETTER YOUR CONDITIONS.

5% IS a substantial difference.
In League terms, 5% is the difference between a champion getting gutted or left to keep wrecking solo q.
Glass cannon Yasuo mid works because you are fighting other glass cannon mids. Being tanky against that Syndra isn't going to matter. She's still going to kill you in two combo rotations + an ult. You just have to kill her before she kills you.
Being a glass cannon top against a Garen/Gnar/Darius. GLHF!
Basically, your argument of "glass cannon" doesn't really matter. Two different lanes with two completely different requirements.
Also, all the champions that you mentioned literally CAN'T build tanky because they don't have items that help them scale WHILE BEING TANKY. Yasuo can. It's cancer.

Really wish people would stop posting this after every single champion.
It's not necessary. Some of the best practice you will get is in Ranked, where you are playing against equally matched opponents. If I play Kled in norms, I might completely destroy the silver and gold people I'm matched with. When I play Ranked in Diamond, I might get absolutely shit on playing Kled, since it's practically a different game at that point.
YOU also need experience playing WITH Kled. Banning him for two weeks doesn't help anyone. Not playing with him for two weeks doesn't help you.
Everyone just needs to shut up, let people play him if they want, and not care so much about the 20 LP you might lose or the 17 you might gain. It's really not a big fucking deal. The big deal is getting EXPERIENCE playing with and against a Kled.

Dynamic Queue /=/ Champion Select.
Sure a Rioter is going around spouting that HE believes they are the same system, but at the same time he probably thinks all Adobe software is the same since they can all come bundled together as well.
Champion select ruined higher tiers of play. No one wants to support. No one was supporting at that level resulting in long ass queue times. That level of play is mostly filled with pro players queueing with 2-5 people.
REMOVE the new champion select from Diamond+ and just leave the actual Dynamic nature and I'd say the queue times would be a lot better.

No one was talking about graphics, you are grasping at straws to try and make Blizz look bad but I guess I can educate you anyways.
Heroes of the Storm runs on a modified SC2 engine. You know the map editor for SC2? That, but better.
SC2 is terribly optimized and will never get better. That means Heroes of the Storm will as well, unless Blizzard makes a new engine for it which has been unheard of until Overwatch which runs on it's own engine.

No one cares about the systems other games use. Overwatch isn't "other games."
It's a Blizzard game, and they use Dynamic Queue. They have been since Heroes of the Storm beta. Sure, they made strides to cut back on the "dynamic" nature of it, but it's still not solo queue. So your point isn't valid.
CS:GO, the most popular game right now in the world (I say that since Riot has stopped boasting about their numbers so I assume they dropped hard) uses a Dynamic Queue. I can play with as many friends as I want.
Maybe it's YOU that hasn't looked at other game systems, or maybe you are too thick to actually understand them.
I can tell you right now, that you probably played the first 2 days of Overwathch's ranked system. No shit there were leavers. People at that point were used to the drop in and drop out nature of Quick Play, and I believe it was also in Competitive during beta. I have been playing Overwatch the last two days for 8+ hours and have only seen MAYBE 10 leavers (most because groups drop out).
Really nothing to worry about. Unless of course you want to make a shitty thread to get fake internet points and feel good about yourself.

Except it is a perfectly fine excuse.
We had competitive mode in Overwatch's beta. Players said it wasn't rewarding enough. So Blizzard pulled it and worked on it.
Imagine that. A multi-billion dollar company admitted that the messed up, pulled something from the game, implemented it later and its 90 times better than it was in beta.
Sure, leavers are a problem. But if someone leaves I can leave too within a minute with 0 penalties.
Yet we are going to sit here and ignore everything blizzard did right?
From the very first day competitive launched, if someone left BEFORE the spawn gates opened the match just ended. It never existed. Yet it took Riot 6 years to think that /remake was something fair for the players to have.
I can see EXACTLY who is in a party. Riot will never give us that. It's "too toxic" to know who is playing together.
I have built-in voice comms and I can communicate with my team in real time. Riot will never give us that. Again, they "think" it's too toxic for us.
This isn't an issue of Dynamic Queue working, it can work in any game and Overwatch does it damn well. The issue is the companies making the system and their willingness to listen to player feedback. I feel Blizzard will make bigger strides in the Dynamic Queue scene, they have been working on it since the Heroes of the Storm beta. But they listen to player feedback. Riot tends not to.

I'd disagree with you saying it's not good.
It's good in Overwatch, terrible in League.
In Overwatch's case, you can use your argument. It's a new game designed from the ground up as a TEAM game. People know that when they play their first quick play match. BUT that is how a dynamic queue should be implemented. From the beginning.
League, on the other hand, started off as "I'M the carry. Listen to ME cause I have the best calls." Not to mention players in China and Korea were picked up for teams based off of their SOLO play division. Why do you think Korea is having such a backlash against DynamicQ? They can't tell who is ACTUALLY a great player. This has been engraved into the player base SINCE ALPHA and Riot is trying to change the mindset of the players.
Also just going to point out that Blizzard doesn't try to actively hide who is a premade. I get to see, before the match even starts, who is in a party together. Of course, this will never happen with League since "It's too toxic to show who is in a party", or "The technology isn't there yet."

No. I'm not. Art team can keep making skins, lore can keep making lore.
Right now they have the "live team", a team that works on PBE patches, a team working on the DQ system, and a team working on the new client.
All at the same time.
If they REALLY wanted to get DQ fixed, they would reduce the live team size, reduce the PBE team size (patches can take longer, people won't complain) and merge the extra resources into the DQ team. This includes merging the new client team into the DQ team. I don't want a new client before my ranked experience is fixed.

This is an example of Riot doing what we call in system design a "Direct Conversion". This means that the brand new system immediately replaces the old when it is ready.
What they should have done, and I'll get into it later, is called a "Parallel Conversion", but like I said, later.
Direct conversions have one major upside: They are fast to implement and relatively cheap. On the down side, there is no way for you (or the users for that matter) to catch any bugs or errors until we are using it, like we are now. This can have MAJOR disruptions in the company when shit doesn't work (sound familiar?).
Now, what they SHOULD have done is a parallel conversion. With a parallel conversion, you KEEP the old system and the NEW system running together for a few months. This allows users and creators to dabble in the new system and report any bugs. This, of course, takes more time to implement the new system AND costs more (we are running two systems that achieve the same goal AND having to maintain both until the new replaces the old. Not very efficient business wise), BUT you catch a lot more bugs. The upside as well with a parallel conversion is that if you find the new system not fit for release, you can easily pull it to keep working on it and then bring it back up later for more user testing along side the old system.
Now I know what people are going to say "We tested it on the PBE". Yes, because PBE testing 100% matches the amount of people on the live servers. Get outta here.
It could have been really easy to make this work too. They could have given users incentives to play on the NEW system to test it so they could collect data. "Play X amount of hours in the new system this month and you get Y% discount in the store/merch store." "You get X% bonus IP for playing in the new system for this month as a thank you for helping us collect data."
But they didn't. They took the fast and cheap way out, and now they are suffering the consequences.

It actually can though.
It baffles me how people assume "You CAN'T just do x" when time and time again other developers (even in different fields) show that you CAN. Companies with smaller teams have done it so please just stop spoon feeding excuses to Riot.
You know what Valve did with Dota in a year? MADE THE GAME RUN ON AN ENTIRELY NEW ENGINE. Gee, I wonder where they pulled the resources for that out of. Maybe, I don't know just spit balling, smaller team for patches and a larger team for what actually mattered?
Riot on the other hand: "Let's have 5 small teams working on 5 separate projects at the same time! Cause that's totally efficient!"

It's really not though. You just don't seem to know how the PBE patches actually work.
We get a new patch what.... every 3 weeks? 4? Around there. This equates to about a patch a month. Since you claim to be "part of the PBE crew" then you'd notice how things cycle around there.
For example, since skins are brought up:
1. Skin gets released, it's playable but has no splashes.
2. Lots of balance changes happen at the same time. This can include items and champs.
3. Week 2. Skins have splashes. Some reverts. Some bug fixes. This is the LAST week that they have to patch bugs. This is generally the last week that changes and major bug fixes are pushed out.
Everything after week two is very small TINY buffs, nerfs, skin changes. This is literally how ANY piece of software development cycle works.
Research into how things work instead of saying people aren't doing their jobs helps arguments.

Literally grab any camera tool and view a replay. You can zoom as far out as you want. You'll notice (if you don't play on a potatoe) that your FPS won't dip below 60.
You will notice:
1. Minions and other characters do not animate when in the fog of war. This is intentional.
2. You might see off the map (such bug much wow)
3. Everything is smaller which is why you only zoom out to a certain point.
Gypsy, while I love the man.. very intelligent and I'd bang if he was willing, makes frankly AWFUL points. It's yet another "We don't want to do it so here is a simple to come up with excuse that people will eat up."
The point of the other thread asked to zoom out just AS FAR as Jhin's does. I believe Jhin's only goes out 3500 units. that is more than enough to get those close range snipes, and close enough to not impact FPS or show bugs.
