Getting Really Tilted with the Que System
So I understand I'm one of the only people in the world with almost no friends. I know a lot of people play games with friends, and find it more enjoyable. But the way you're handling queing people up is absolutely ruining my experience. As you aware there's a multitude of programs that give you some basic details about your opponents. Every few games I have been AGAINST a team with a gold player, who is also generally qued up with 1 or more people.

Not making this shit up. That shows a streak of 5 out of 8 games involving a gold player.
This gives them a skill advantage, and a teamwork advantage. I don't understand why you are not requiring players who want to que up with their higher elo friends to move up to better competition instead of bringing higher skill players, with team work advantages, to play against someone like me who only snuck out of bronze because for a couple patches the meta was really friendly to my favorite champions.
I don't want to be one of the assholes who plays new champs in ranked, I genuinely dislike that practice. For the first time, though, I can almost understand why you would consider doing it. Your set up makes ranked the ONLY place I can actually go against people of my own skill level, which is the only real way for me to be able to get in beneficial practice, or to get a half way realistic idea where my mastery of that champion is before taking them into ranked.
Please, for the love of all that's holy, review your queing practices.
