What if premades lost more LP playing vs solo queuers?

Seems fair if say a 3 man premade was vs a team of solo queuers and lose they should lose 3 times the LP or solo queuers should gain 3 times the LP because that would be fair wouldn't it? A 3 man premade with their voice comms , synergy etc should never lose vs random solo queuers who have never played together before.

Even matching 2 teams up like this seems stupid in a competitive ranked match but riot wants to reward teamwork, so if 5 people who have never played together have better teamwork then a premade they deserve an increased reward or the premade needs to lose alot more LP because that seems fair and riot want a fair game...

Ideally, since the more important end goal is fair games, I think it would be better to see a system where dynamic groups face higher quality soloqueue players rather than cause giant LP swings. Giant LP swings just make ranked more volatile (which is a negative).

Basically, at least theoretically, solo players at a high enough level should be able to function more or less as well as a 5 man group. Of course, this logic falls apart at high elo (hence riot implementing different systems at high elo) but for the vast majority of players (and I'm assuming the OP as well) simply pitting premades against higher quality champions should be a much better solution.
