ranked with a premade is 100x better.

could never get over the 60% mark even in bronze 5 (solo que) The afks, lack of teamwork, and over all gameplay makes me straight up hate life. I did a lot to get better to like watching pro vids, asking diamond players for advice and questioning myself after every game. Although i agree that all this ^ made me a better overall player, i still felt stuck. Half the games i lost were from afks or feeders and i wasn't able to carry. I didnt think i was bad.. but i must be if i cant win in bronze right?? This is what i thought. I just qued with a premade of 5 for 7 games and i won all 7. All pantheon wins, and i feel like i did pretty good every game. I won lane in all games, ulted mid/bot multiple times and got them fed, and was there for team fights late game. I was playing with and against silver-gold players. Im learning more and more every match, and its a lot lesss stressfull then solo que.

SO IS SOLO QUE JUST A DIFFERANT OR IS IT HARDER ?

When i land a ult with pantheon i expect my team to follow up. In solo que this results in me dying. In premade it results in an ace..

You could do the same shit in old 5v5 ranked queue, oh no, it's not the same as your team had to play against another coordinated 5 stack so it wasn't easy mode like dynamic queue.

It's soloQ...Never rely on help of your teammates. Your deaths are always your bads and you should learn from them. Btw choosing to play pantheon on low elo is a great choice. Win your lane, then win other lanes. Very easy with pantheon. If you really don't suck, then you should be able to carry yourself to at least platinum. Good luck.

I've had the opposite experience. Soloing produced far better results for me than going with a premade. Don't ask me why though but there are very few premades that I can rack up wins with and it's usually premades where everyone is playing their mains.

ya lol we all used the same champ for the 7 games. Maby switched around a few times here or there but pretty much same lineup/roles

Yea that's pretty much the only way. You gain no advantage by playing in a premade when everyone is playing whatever they feel like.

There are different reasons why people are in the rank that they're in, because league has so many different skillsets.

It's possible that your mechanics are better than your game knowledge (as in, knowing where to be&when) and by playing in a premade, they're able to direct you properly which can overcome this deficiency.

The problem with lower elo, is that it's a grab bag of who is good at what skills and bad at others.

Yes actually i believe this to be true. I hold my own for sure but they do ping me to help them with objectives when normally i might have just stayed top. I also noticed the jungler always ganked my lane when im doing well. I would get f blood and then my jungler would just camp for 2 more kills. In solo que i would not have pinged the jungler to come top 3 times, i would just do my thing in hopes he gets the other lanes fed.

Yes. Your skills alone now determines your ACTUAL rank, not getting to Platinum by doing 5% of the work while your premades always does the 95% work.

lol my team definately did not do 95% of the work. If they did im pretty sure id be kicked from the group. Look at my match history/stats (This is if you were reffering to me)

It's not better, it's just different. You don't play the same way with strangers that may react unpredictably and with people you learned to trust. When you climb Solo, if you actually deserve to climb, you're better than the enemies (on average), but you are ALSO better than your team-mates. So you MUST expect they will do stupid mistakes and play around it.
