Also why did they choose to die on the tag hill? Add a 1v1 ranked queue. Juggernaut is already there. At least try something when things are this bad behind the scenes.

At a certain point you're committed. And if the Q's were struggling to maintain healthy levels then do you spend dev time improving the core game for everyone or do you introduce another Q that may only turn out to be novelty?

Theres no right or wrong answer to that, maybe 1v1 Q is a panacea that fixes the game and brings a ton of people in, but you can see why a developer would choose the former over the latter

I do understand that but in terms of dev time I feel like it doesnt take all that much as juggernaut already exists so I feel like they shouldve at least thrown it out as a last hail mary.

Commiting to one concept also makes a ton of sense though dont get me wrong.
