I am a SOLO player, I want to be matched against SOLO players. This whole IP team reward benefit is just... so... I cant fucking stand the bullshit and toxic I need to put up with.
Let me opt out of being paired vs teams. This game is getting less and less fun.
What if I told you that you play with and against premades all the time, but you only notice the premades that are assholes?
Riot has implemented this already in a basic form: it's called Ranked solo queue. If you want more than that, well, tough luck. Get some friends (or, failing that, randoms to group up with you) and go win.
riot pls, have mercy on us forever aloners People with q'ing up with their friends is just cancer 2 man.. 3 man.. FUCKING 4 MAN?
Idk what you people have issues with. But for me a bigger group of players is in general less toxic. When I play with my friends I don't get as frustrated and the game is more fun.
Now when you have smaller groups that purposely troll their team I could see being frustrated, but in the majority of cases having multiple people on your side or even the enemy team is a good thing. I mean at least when I am in a 5 man pre-made we will joke around in all chat and try to not sound like braggarts. I mean even when we are losing, sure we can get frustrated but we never take it out on anybody else.
I don't have any friends either.
The one thing I hate about going with premades is that reporting seems like a waste of time. Of course they aren't going to report their one toxic player. I've even been on the other side of that and it's awkward -- I'm part of a 4-man group, and our support (in the premade) starts antagonizing the ADC by taking farm and never warding, so insults and toxic behavior begins...
And unless the insults are in /all chat, the other team has no way to know that there was any toxic behavior and so they can't report the one premade player either.
I have more of a problem with getting random friend invites/game invites from people I don't know (recently played, probably) just because they want an IP boost. But I do like the IP boost concept.
It's not just being team with them, but more so being teamed against them. Coordination, communication is just a huge unfair/unseen advantage.
