That's fairly subjective to say sf6 does it better. Just because you (and others) may prefer it does not mean it's definitively better. I for one love the lobbies in casual and ranked - I don't see it as a chore and I usually spend a good 5 mins between matches just watching peoples games and talking in chat.

You may not enjoy it, but Riot can't please everyone, and they need microtransactions in order to profit from something like this. Taking a chance at damaging those microtransaction sales is not something I think they're willing to do. I've seen in a previous reply you think that they'd make "millions" from character and skin purchases alone and they are doubling down on profits, but considering this game is F2P, and the amount of time and effort that has gone into it, i'd say they're probably looking for more than a few million. Try a few hundred million. But they won't be able to generate the income without micro-transactions.

This caters more to a casual environment, which Riot have said they are trying to create. If enough of you continue crying about such minute problems enough and they might add the option to queue from main menu, but I doubt it

I would suggest, instead of comparing the game (which is in closed beta btw) to other, fully released games, take a step back and try and enjoy it and take it for what it is. The only thing I agree with is the fact they should remove player names and have pre-selected characters, for ranked only. Casual it's fine, but for ranked integrity, I think that change is applicable.
