Champions Queue was a hot topic roughly a month ago when Riot Games prevented ex-pro players like Marc Robert “Caedrel” Lamont and Tim “Nemesis” Lipovšek from playing during Worlds 2022. In the meantime, Riot shipped loads of changes in October with the hopes of it becoming popular again. Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng, an ex-pro player who might be returning to pro play soon, shared his honest opinion about Champions Queue with his fanbase during a recent stream.
Doublelift tackled the topic of the Champions Queue on his latest stream, saying it can never replace solo queue because the games don’t have a middle ground and are either really good or really bad. “I don’t think Champions Queue is a good replacement to solo queue. It’s definitely interesting; at times Champions Queue is really good and then when it’s not good, it’s really bad,” Doublelift said.
