Are duos really a problem in Dynamic Queue?

I'm a Ranked player, and I consistently play solo, and sometimes I play with one other person. Truthfully, I do not see all the toxicity that people complain about. I do not get and problems from premade, and I actually don't even realize when I'm playing with premades because they do not act differently from solo players. Is this just a Boards thing, or does Dynamic Queue actually treat players well?

Duo's aren't an issue so much as 4/5 man premades, particularly premades that are very much gaming the system. (E.g. 3/4 mains and a smurf that is ~1 tier below the mains, so they get matched against a premade somewhere in the middle of the mains and the smurf, who are in theory all worse skillwise).

I mostly play support as a solo player, and usually not an initiating support (that is to say, I play Janna), so I haven't had any issues with premades* since I can basically follow their lead and it's fine without any need for direct communication. I can see how it'd be somewhat more frustrating for other roles though who really need to coordinate their engages/dives/etc.

*= I (and my team) did get completely wrecked by a panth/noct/tf/vayne/raka comp that was absolutely a premade. Tf would ult (providing vision for everyone) leading to noct ult followed closely by panth ult, with raka ult on standby as insurance. We were essentially getting 4 manned under our inner turret while our outter turret was still standing and it was rough beats. That was 1 in ~100 games though.

Im smurfing and get flamed constantly then I do good and they still dont listen. Have yet to win with a 4 man since they feed super hard. Usually the more players that are grouped in your team the higher chance you have of losing because if the enemys 4 man group is better it doesnt matter how good the one player is. Everyone who backed dynamic que hates it and they see why its bad first had.

Honestly i hate when im grouped with premades cus usually they are the ones who cost my team the game 75% of the time.. last 5 or so games i had duod teammates they both fed hard and went like 4-12 or something lol..
