Riot's engineers suck at balancing MMR. Give us the option of opting out of premades.

I've played a lot of games. A lot of those games have been against premade teams. A lot of those premade teams have been either 1) more toxic than the average solo queue player or 2) a significantly lopsided victory/defeat.

Since your engineers can't figure out how to balance MMR why don't you actually give us "SOLO QUEUE" instead of pubstomping-queue?

I've played 3 games tonight and all three were either with or against the same 4 man premade. All three times the premade destroyed lanes. I've had other games where premades just flat up suck. While the mean score differential of all games with a premade might be the same as an all soloqueue game, I'm fairly certain any single premade game will be more erratic than the average soloqueue game.

I really don't like premades. Even just duos seem to increase the toxicity in any game. If they're doing well they BM in all chat, if they're doing poorly they fuck around and act like it's no big deal that they're losing the game for their team.

Honestly I feel like when I'm solo queue'd with a premade (even just a duo) that it's much harder to win.

If an equivalent premade isn't found, it's purposely mismatched against solo queuers to compensate for the advantage of teamwork. It makes zero fucking sense.

Bump.
