Is Solo Queue Really Solo Queue?

Solo queue in and of itself insinuates queuing solo... Can there be an option to solo queue with other solo queue people and avoid duo's or premade teams in general? It seems any time I'm in a game with other players who are apart of the same queue or club or whatever, they tend to gravitate toward each other, ignore the rest of the team or start arguing/ganging up on any other singular player and try to turn the rest of us against him/her. It's counter productive for us solo queue people. I, and from what I understand many others, would prefer an option to join with 4 other solo individuals to avoid this bias mentality of us vs. them from the multi-queue players or even the solo queuers. I understand that community and camaraderie are built by playing together and working together as a team while building long lasting in game relationships. I also understand that Riot has just instated the Club system. That system, which is all well and good, tends to put a bad taste in one's mouth when 75% of the club multi-queues (that I have run in to) out there tend to run Skype or Curse or some other voice chat and leave in game chat and "team" communication bare. Any light on this subject or arguments for/against are welcome.

dude, there is no solo.

Is only dynamic, you are supposed to premade or quit this game.

A pure solo queue would remove any incentive of solo players to queue up for dynamic queue to fill out teams. It basically destroys the option of playing with your friends unless you have exactly 2 or 4 friends. Any other make up will either have to wait ages for a trio to free up or even longer for a solo.

Giving an imperfect experience to solo players is kindof a bummer, but almost completely eliminating the possibility of playing with a team of people you want to play with when it's already a huge pain to synchronize the schedules of multiple people in a team based game is definitely much worse.
