Multi-queues are anti-fun

It seems just about every game I get a duo or god forbid, a trio queue. My position is that queueing with multiple people kills fun for everyone else in the game. Typically these players only play around eachother, refusing to communicate with their other teammates. In addition, its not very fun for the enemy team who might not be similarly coordinated. In many games one of the duo queue is the jungler, in which case, the jungler will focus all of their ganking energy and time sitting around the other persons lane even if a gank might opportunity might not even be present; often sacrificing farm and ganking opportunities in other lanes. The flawed logic is that they know generally how "skilled" their friend is at the game so its better to hedge your bets on the devil you know. However, in most cases, it can simply be an "all your eggs in one basket" situation. Other players on the team who would have benefited from some jungle attention get left to starve and their chances to the affect the game dwindle because of biases in the duo. Queuing together is also bad for the duo. They will never develop their own skills in the game because they are constantly using eachother as a crutch. Why learn to 1v1 duel when you will always always have someone there to hold your hand through the game and give you an undue advantage? To this end, people who routinely duo queue will end up worse off than if they learned how to play solo queue. If these people are never going to not play together, then sure, no problem. However, if they go and play solo queue and suddenly find that the jungler is actually ganking other lanes; these are the people who rage and blame the jungler for losing their lane for them. They are simply too used to having the jungler win their lane for them. Lastly, league is a social game. Disagreements happen. Unfortunately with duo queues, they are inclined to take eachothers side regardless of the facts of a situation and often exacerbate the quarrel on behalf of their friend. This can turn a disagreement between two people on a team into a disagreement involving the ENTIRE team. Or at the very least, half of the team. This, in turn, leads to tilting and more losses. In summation, duo queues are bad for the game and enjoyment of the game in general and lead to needless losses in most cases.

TLDR: I have no friends and duo queues piss me off because they butt buddy it up all game. If one talks trash, the other parrots exactly the same sentiment and its disgusting. They dont play with the rest of the team. The game basically becomes 5v2v3
