Ranked Premades

At first I was really excited about this because I thought it would give me a better chance to climb playing with my friends in what could be a more controlled, communication friendly solo que. (in contrast to the current chaotic style of play in solo que) However, after seeing the crazy amount of backlash this idea has received I do believe that have 4 or 5 premades is a bad idea. I think that having 4 or 5 premades should stay in RANKED TEAMS (why have this que if you can just go with your team into solo que) and that instead a fair change would be limiting the amount of premades to 3. Hear me out. This would make it so that there is no premade group of 4 with one solo player (which we now would create even more toxicity problems). Also my idea is that if you go for solo que you will ONLY be matched with other solo players or duo players (as is the current ranked system) and you will only face other solo/duo que teams. If you trio(?) que you will ONLY be matched with other duo ques and you will only face other teams made of one 3 man premade and one duo. Duo ques would be placed into either or, however, it would still be more likely that they would get placed in a solo/duo que game since there are a lot more solo que players. This would mean that no one premade would have full control over surrender votes and still Riot will still create a game that ranks players not only on their individual skill but also their teamwork. This is just an idea I had to work as a compromise. Let me know what you guys think. I am open to having reasonable discussion

Just make it an actual solo que

dude, even 3 is bad enough. regardless of the side of the match you end up on as a solo player. this has killed the game for me. and I know I'm not the only one.

There is a difference between premades and ranked teams.

A soloQ premade 5 must be all from the same elo range.

Ranked 5's can't do roster swaps very often. This means those players are used working together as a team. This inherently makes games more competitive, an extra level up over just having voice chat.

I think that this will make Ranked Dynamic Queue significantly different from Ranked 5's queue.

god i'd hate being the odd one out in a 4 man queue in ranked. That being said i'd also like having more friends to queue up with at a time.
