Ranked games

I look at this ranked system and I get really angry.Why is there a possibility to queue with 2 or more players when you get an individual assigned league and division?!!This makes 0 sense.For a good ranked system if some queues as 2 or more persons it should have a party mmr cause the player level wont be reflected well.For example:2 gold players got stucked at g2 for more than 200 games which means that their level is probably this one since they coulndt climb anymore by their own forces.What can they do to get plat till the end of the season without getting some elo boost?Simple:one of the 2 gold players will make a new account and with exp boost he willl easily get it to lvl 30.Lose all the 10 placement games on purpose or most of them.Obtain a really bad mmr then climb to s5(limit to play with gold).Now imagine a party of 2 people of the same level -g2 that will play at a significant lower level because of the s5 account.As a result the g2 guy will climb to plat.Same thing applies for the other person.So what happens in the end??Two gold players get plat when their level is not in reality that one...I have seen this method applied to party of 3 people and it was very effective.You can climb a fair number of divisons in comparison to your real skill bracket. I got nothing against party of players but different mmr should be assigned for solo and for party.Separating these 2 is the most logical thing to do.If you want to prove how good you are as team play ranked game party or for individual skill play solo queue ranked.Match parties with parties and solo players with solo players only.This is how it should be in theory but practical there will be higher queues times as result of separating the system. As a conclusion the party ranked games should be totally removed.I dont deny that some people find it easier to play with friends with which they communicate on skype or whatever but solo queue gives the best aproximation of player skill of level since in solo queue you are always put in the situation to adapt to new players and cooperate with them.It makes you better player.A player that does good in solo queue is bond to do good in party queue but the other way around is not true in most cases. I hope I make some sense..I wrote this kind of late and I am a little bit tired.I am waiting for your answers :)

It doesn't make sense to award people a solo rating when they're playing as a premade. It's a fundamental flaw in the Dynamic Queue system. Even matchmaking is terrible because you're literally pitting premade teams against solo players. They don't even belong in the same queue together since they're playing entirely different formats.

Sadly, we're stuck with this for this season. I can only think of the different ways of how Riot is going to screw this up even more.
