Things about 4 man premades that irritate me when i'm the solo member

Everything!

Being that lone solo player sucks. While not always, a large amount of the time:

  • You have no say in votes.
  • You are at the mercy of the 4 man to decide if they will help you in lane or just focus on themselves.
  • You more often than not are forced into an uphill battle since they have a high ranking member while you are their counter balance.
  • You may become the scapegoat for losing the game if you dont perform well.
  • If they have a team name, the enemy team knows exactly who to focus with ganks.
  • Can't argue or suggest anything with them, because they have agreed that you are wrong.

In my opinion, the solo player paired with a 4 man should have some special benefits to postgame IP/LP amounts. Maybe an increase in IP gain and a decrease in LP loss if they lose. Nothing changed for winning though, because issues like the ones mentioned above most likely did not happen. Then at least they get compensated for loss of their vote and having to face more challenging opponents.

You're forgetting the witch hunt. Every small mistake you make is in chat. If they make a mistake and die its "why didn't you do this?" and if you contest, the others tell you that you're wrong. Should have a que, for normals too, to opt out of pre-mades.

Yesterday I played a game Lux vs Malz mid and I got put in with a 4 man pre-made. Level 1 my computer actually froze....and he obviously killed me when I was DC'ed. When I restarted and got back in, he was level 6. I got back to lane and he immediately flashed, ulted and ignited to kill me when I was under turret.....dead. I immediately got "FEEDER GONNA REPORT!!!"

So yea, all 4 reported me and I reported them, as all game they were blaming ME for feeding Malz......2 freaking kills. Meanwhile their AD Jung Twisted Fate was something like 0-6. I reported them all at the end and queued up for another game, and you guessed it; I got them again. This time I intentionally fed as they deserved it.....screw them, and screw Riot for even introducing this.
