Unless you have more friends to play with than me, then eff me for not having a dynamic que to com stomp with :p

Equal footing to me means no preplanned, premade, strategies/teamcomps/synergys/communication for some while others fight solo, this just seemed a bit inconsistent to me

Equal footing? Every player in the game started with the exact same amount of friends (0), so that would be equal footing, seeing as their actions after they started the game gave them an advantage over you, just like in the rift. And having strategies/teamcomps/synergys/communication isn't restricted to premades. When someone on my team picks Yasuo , I lean towards champs with knockups( Alistar Zyra Blitzcrank Braum Chogath Diana Janna , to name a few), or if the enemy team picks, say Soraka , then I(since I am usually support) go for a poke based champ( Zyra Zilean Sona Karma are my choices). And every heard of chat? It helps. It is sometimes hard to use, but you still have communication. The game is so much better when you can be workable, rather than charging in with the attitude of "my way or the highway".

Now compared to using bots to rack up ip and mastery points, this complaint is rather... let's go with unbecoming.

In my opinion, it would be stupid if you sold a game as a team game, but then made sure that players could not play with their friends. Now that would be inconsistent.
