I can't be the only one who's sick of being put with a group of toxic players who flame anyone who isn't part of them and then blame the odd man out for losing the game. And god forbid that you speak up for yourself because then they go in on you harder and at the end of the match you're hit with four reports saying you where the toxic one. come on riot fix this, it can't be that hard to have a check box in settings saying "don't put me with premade teams"

Yeah and when you're sitting in queue for a lot longer you'll wonder why. I never really have a problem when I get teamed with premades. If you focus on your own game and stop worrying about who you're playing with it will be a lot better for you. If people are going to gang up on you theyre going to do it regardless of being in a premade or not.

And if you don't do anything worth reporting, then it won't matter how many times they report you and their reports will be worth less.

It's actually really simple.

if (reports > 0) { review(); }

Doesn't matter how many people report you. The only thing that matters is whether or not the report is valid.

It's seriously so tilting. They ALWAYS blame you or someone who isn't part of their premade. I've always hated being matched with premades cause they usually don't take the game serious either.

idc about being with or against premade... But come on would be great to show it to us before/during the game.

Not to mention that solo q is at a disadvantage already in playing against premades who have better communication and experience playing with each other. Playing solo is just at too much of a disadvantage in either case. Should just be either teaming or solo not combined.

Premades are toxic but so are solo players. It's just more noticeable and unbearable when it's multiple people, because if one premade player is toxic chances are the rest are as well. I don't think 4 mans should exist in any game mode. That gives them too much agency over the entire game and it's very frustrating. I think they should have to get the 5th or drop one, because no solo player deserves that treatment of having his lane ignored and being blamed for every mistake.

Asking for no premades is unreasonable. Queue times would suffer. You might be okay with that, but obviously many others would not be. That cuts into Riot's money making. Riot is a business. This isn't happening. A far more reasonable request would be to limit 4 mans. I think we might be able to get that, and from there, see if game health increases at all and go from there

Though I do understand this was more of a rant and not really an actual request, and I do sympathize with your viewpoint

I can see why this would be a nice feature for those who play on their own. The Only downside I can foresee is that everyone will most likely use this feature & people who play will experience increased queue wait times. While to some this isn't a big issue, there are some people that don't want to wait 5+ minutes to find matches.

Personally, I don't care about waiting since I usually spend time tuning my Rune pages or web browse till the queue pops up.

Alright as a person who plays in a premade, we are not toxic towards the person that's not with us. In fact th reason why our group/discord has grown is because even the most shy and quiet people have found a bond with us.

They made this really cool feature called "reporting"

Here's the problem here I play in a premade of 3-4 players normally never received a chat restriction or ban because I'm not toxic in fact no one in my premade has received a chat restriction/ban now moving on to the problem. If this was an option then almost every person not in a premade would use this option and then every premade would not be able to play a game. For example I have my premade of 4 now I would need someone not in a premade and doesn't have this option selected and 5 enemies who don't have this option selected which makes the time I would have to wait easily going to 5-10 min which won't effect you as a solo player but it would effect anyone who wants to play with friends.
