In ranked solo, why the hell am I being put on a team with 4 people who played together last game

and lost, and already hate each other and rage from the very start of the game?

This is solo queue. They can't be a 4-man premade. Yet, and I verified, the 4 legitimately were on the same team the game before and got stomped. And right from level 1 all 4 of them are blaming each other and saying they suck and someone should have dodged, etc...

I have had this happen before as well. It's rare we are just lucky.

The chance of this happening is nearly zero usually because you can't queue as 4 (neither in flex or solo), but if everyone queues up again immediately after a match together then they A) have similar enough mmr to be matched together and B) are the same priority in matchmaking, so the chances some of them see each other again is much higher.

Getting the same ppl as the previous game happens pretty often. Have you never noticed?

Some. Not 4 players on the same team.

The odds of getting some is high enough that getting all of them isn't totally unheard of. Look at it this way. The matchmaker already put you with people near your MMR. Then after a win or loss all of you get the same MMR increase or decrease. If all 5 players queue up instantly it'll probably put them all in the same game because out of the pool of players in the queue, those 4 other players are the closest in MMR to you.

We're saying the exact same thing.

Because you queued up immediately after the game ended

I didn't - they may have.

It was my first game of the day. I didn't play with those 4 players the previous game, but the 4 of them played together.

Never que up twice in a short period of time

I wait atleast 10 mins between matches just to dodge unfavorable players

My 4 allies were in the same previous game.

It was my first game of the day. I happened to be added as the 5th person.
