Premade in SoloQ

We all love premades in ranked SoloQ, don't we?

Well I know I do - especially when they are in enemy team.

Cause most of the time those are random guys who just met in one match which went good for them and they choose to play togheter few more.

Or friends that can't use skype.

Or friends that are drunk.

Or even better - two drunk random dudes.

It's rather uncommon to meet normal premades in ranked that play with voice chat and don't tilt.

And now what's the biggest problem over here? This part:

> If you are in a pre-made team, your rating is the average of you and your team members, along with an increase based on the type of pre-made you are to make sure that you get tougher opponents, because being a pre-made is an advantage. This bonus is calculated from a bunch of research we did on hundreds of thousands of game results to figure out how much of an advantage being in a team is. We do some behind the scenes adjustments as well for stuff like beginners paired with pros, etc.

So I end up with some random summoners that have lower rating and I am forced to hope they have voice chat and are not going to troll. Ok. Thanks a lot. Ranked much.

At least don't pair me with them in my promos. PLEASE.

i do premades with my brother a lot. we usually end up dominating because we have an apartment, set up our computers in the living room and then play. but yeah for the most part i hate premades in soloq because they always call duo bot, and don't realize they're in a higher MMR, and would be best suited having one of them go jungle.
