Premades should be matched up with premades

Subject 5·Jul 2, 2017·2 votes·343 views

My last 4 normal games (skip over the ranked games) have been my team being a bunch of normies vs like a 4 or 5 man premade team. It's either one of these two:

We got curbstomped SO fucking bad that we are basically being killed in fountain.
We stomp the enemy team SO fucking bad because they don't even care about the game, are straight enting or are queued up with people who don't even understand basic principles of the game.

Both of these outcomes aren't satisfying. Why pair pre-mades with non-premades?

That's League in general though. I agree with your post OP, but most games are a stomp one way or the other now. I would say that maybe 20% of my games are actually competitive, close, or even matches.

Yeah, I agree with you. It's been this way since season 5 but just a little bit better. In season 5 - teamfights ended at an instant and games lasted like 20 minutes long. Now though - they last around 25-30 minutes long, if you're REAL lucky. I feel like it is the state of the game - but it would be nice if I didn't get paired with a full team of 'gods' or 'drunk night fun lovers'

I rather doubt that. However making parties actually VISIBLE in champ select -for both sides - would be helpful. Just a 1/2 beside someones name to show theyre in a party... since there can only be two parties per game,

cuz if we waited around for that kind of match making (those premades ) they would have 30 min queue times on average (just a guess ) but extremely long queue times.

In a normal? Currently there are more people that play normals than ranked I am pretty sure - this would have a lesser queue time than a ranked game. People bitched and moaned about this in flex queue because it was retarded, an opposing team blatantly has the advantage. So yeah - queue times wouldn't be that much longer and you're saving people the time of not playing a full game that was just lousy and poor quality.

As for the guy that is using the word doubt . . .

You doubt what? What are you doubting??? That it really happened? Or that my experience was poor? Or are you saying that 1 of the 2 or 2 of the 2 experiences are false? You aren't using that word correctly for me to interact with you . . . as for the other part that you said: all of the premades usually have the same tag with one another. One premade has 4 man tag of: "DICKL" and after I commented on it - they explained it was a 5 man - not a 4 man.

if premades were matched with only premades those queue times would increase

and most of premades are people who start a game and invite random people on their "friend list" just to go play a game and have fun

Indeed, queue times will increase - one of the problematic features of the game at this very moment is that the game is split up in between populations that:

Play Flex queue (Lol nobody takes this seriously) Play Ranked Play Normals Play ARAM

(I've excluded twisted treeline, because let's be honest here.)

Flex queue is a failed project that should be disabled and the population that wants to play with those big teams - can do so in normals. Thus - everybody gets the best of both worlds.

@Badmojojuju - I would endure a 5-10 minute long wait to just not get paired with an entire team that is skyped.

well there use to be Ranked 5 man teams prior to season 6

I agree with they should be only premade vs premade. If the players are practiced together they can stomp an equal MMR team that's not premade. I would happily endure longer que times to stop premades in solo/duo ques
