Riot has allowed and almost encouraged smurfing and boosting

How many of you have seen a duo or trio that were obviously diamond+ players sitting at gold or silver? I know I have. Some of them even come right out and say it. Although let's be honest, a lot of the time that is bullshi*. This is now a regularity for me in plat. There so many duos and trios and the skill level is all over the place. While people can enjoy playing with friends and work as a team, the downside of DQ is that it is extremely vulnerable and easy to take advantage of which can ruin experiences for other players. In the past system there were smurfs, yes, and there were some duos that took advantage, but not to the extent that DQ has allowed players to do.

One way to fix this - that has been mentioned in many posts - is to assess individual and team players differently. They can still play with and against each other in the entirety of Dynamic Queue, but they would be contained in different leagues that have different ranks in order to better match solo and premade players.

Frankly this is the biggest issue right now for me. Yes the idea of DQ lessens competitive integrity, and yes solo players can be boosted, but frankly at this point those things are far behind me. They matter to me, but I am so tired of playing with premades. I don't want to do it anymore in this current system. I don't even care if I'm playing with a boosted player, as long as they're playing solo. I don't care that premades exist in the same ranking system as solos. I JUST DON'T WANT TO PLAY WITH FUCKING PREMADES ANYMORE!!!!! I JUST WANT TO PLAY WITH OTHER SOLO PLAYERS OF SIMILAR MMR!!! Please Riot, give me back what I enjoyed about this game.

A true testament of the toll that DQ takes on a solo player.
