You really can tell Riot cares...
When a game is just stomped by a premade smurf team. But no, you won't get put up against premades if you queue solo! Trust me! Rito said so! And we just, you know, can't tell when a player is a smurf! It's not like 99% of the community can recognize one! We just don't want to lose mone--er, we just can't be certain.
Gotta love companies run by assholes who could not care less about anything that doesn't involve money going into his wallet. Kudos, Rito. Proud of you for exemplifying the human species.
