Why does RIOT make duo Q so horrible?

Honestly when i first started duoing with my buddy about a year ago we noticed that quality of games are a lot worse then solo Q and i just always thought it was just bad luck. But after a full year of getting trolled after every other game in duo Q i kinda just want a answer. Do you guys make it less fun intentionally? is that the cost for duo Q with a friend who shares the same goal for climbing? if you could change it that would be nice because the logic just doesn't make much sense.

Trust me, solo queing is 10000x worse than duo queing.

You should know by now that when you are duo queuing riots system is adjusting the game to be harder for you because riot is going to assume that since you are with a friend they expect you to have some form of communication with them other than the chat box i.e. voice comms and general understanding of how each other play therefor having an advantage over the enemy team because you can work well with your partner. So it raises the mmr of the other team and lowers the mmr of your current team because you are automatically expected to have a bigger advantage. Which would explain the trolling as well. They stick you with a team that players in past games have notably not tried, trolled, afk'd and expect you to carry them because of those communication privileges you are sharing with your partner. I have always felt duo should have never been an option, that solo queue is SOLO for a reason. With this new champ select and the option to even queue up with 4 other friends now going to be an option you can expect the same results as a 5v5 team ranked match the only people who are going to suffer are the ones that play by themselves.

Maybe because you and you're duo are bad at the game thus making all the games far worst?

Season 6 and Dynamic Queue is coming in 5 days. They will no longer be artificially raising your MMR for partying in ranked.
