The Quickplay mode in League of Legends replaced Blind Pick. However, some players see no point in the mode and believe that Quickplay leads to the worst games.
What is the goal of Quickplay? League of Legends introduced the Quickplay mode on the live servers at the end of 2023. Quickplay is therefore a new queue that has replaced the Blind Pick
and allows players to start the game faster.
In Quickplay, there is no Champion selection (Picking phase), you choose the two desired roles and champions already in the lobby before going into the queue. This way, you always get one of the two selected roles/champions – so no Autofill risk
.
This should solve some problems that existed with Blind Pick
, such as toxic behavior and conflicts during the Champ Select. The mode often led to frustration due to the limited time in Champion selection and the coordination over team composition and lanes. For example, due to insta-locks, which forced the remaining players to adapt – making it even more difficult for beginners.
Overall, the mode is supposed to be suitable if you just want to play quickly and easily – without the competitive aspect. Yet some players see no point in Quickplay and believe that the mode leads to the lowest quality games.
Players criticize the quality of matches when playing Quickplay
What is the problem? The post on Reddit from February 23 by the user “DwyaneDerozan” sparks a discussion among the players. In the title he writes: Quickplay has produced some of the worst quality games I have ever played.
In the post, DwyaneDerozan expresses his dissatisfaction with the quality of games he has experienced in the Quickplay mode of League of Legends. He describes them as some of the worst games he has ever played. Among many problems, he highlights that about half of the games are remakes, while a significant portion of players did not consciously set their Summoner Spells
beforehand.
Furthermore, he criticizes the Elo difference in the games, which often leads to unfair matches that end after only 10 minutes because everyone would give up. For example: A Diamond midlaner against a Bronze support main in the mid lane. I have tried to give this mode a chance because I want to play games quickly and hate ARAM, but this is simply unplayable
, he writes.
What do other players say? He is probably not alone in this. Under the post, numerous comments from players can be found who also seem dissatisfied. Many would simply pick the same champion, especially when they are new.
We have summarized a few comments for you:

I played it a few times and I’m sure I will never do that again. I had the same experiences as you. It’s literally like someone tried to make the experience deliberately terrible.
- TechnalityPulse sees it more soberly:
Yes, I know, Quickplay is exactly that – fast. It is not designed to be the most balanced game mode at any level. […]
- Domestic_Kraken believes:
I agree that Quickplay is about practicing and not winning, but the Quickplay matches are often so terrible that you can’t even effectively practice. […]
What do you think of Quickplay? Do you wish for changes or are you satisfied? Or would you even like Blind Pick back? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
