PSA to Gold/Plats+ :PLEASE stop duoing with your friends that were Bronze last season.
There's a reason they were in Bronze. They cannot compete at even a Silver level, so what do you think is going to happen when the average ranking in your game is gold? Especially if you decide you THINK you can carry them hard enough to put them as a bot lane ADC. No. Just no. You're dragging your entire team and MMR down. Stop it.
