PSA: 5 man premades are fucking powerful.

The enemy team won even when they had used random champion generator and all fill. All because they were in a call and were coordinated. I'm not salty because I am still on loss prevention because I had just ranked up (0 LP yay), but I just wanted to put it out there that sometimes it's better not to spend all your time looking at OP.GG and Challenger guides. Just get friends.

I don't know how to feel about the game changing like this. I don't hate it, but it's one of those situations of "if you can't beat them, join them" but then you're like "fuck but I have no irl friends who are my rank in league". I really don't want to resort to the team recruitment section of these boards because that's a shitstorm most of the time.

Also matchmaking of ranks B5 op ^

Not my point, no. That thread has -35 votes for a reason.

The downvotes come from people thinking I am promoting boosting. Which was the satire of the thread.

My point of that thread remains in the last sentence:

"Don't play solo" Because being solo queuer its awful now, I've been solo for the first month and premade for the second month and being in a premade it has less stress.

I hate Dynamic Queue and I hate being in a premade, but sadly that's the current state of affairs of ranked.

If I'm being honest, I disagree because I've experienced the complete opposite. I went from B2 to G4 only as a solo player. Whenever I queued with friends or large premades, even the ones that had a call between all of us, we lost 75% of the time. It's most likely because I have not the best players on my friends list (the person I usually duo with is bronze, and I can't duo with him anymore in ranked).

Bottom line for my personal experience, premades have sucked for me, on both sides. My point is coordinated 5 mans are hella good, not that premades are stupid or abusable.

That's why I stated on the thread: premade with smurfs. Which is what most premades do, either one is a smurf or everyone is super coordinated.

People are misunderstanding you everywhere.

Some things never change.

Humm, this was a Normal game, LP have nothing to do in this thread. And matchmaking in Normals is bonker, because a lot of people from higher ELO have a lower MMR in the Normal queue and use it to relax/train/learn new champs, etc. And on top of that, it was always possible to queue as 5 in Normals.

So yeah, you didn't say that, but in the current situation with so many people complaining about DQ, I can't help but feel this thread is some kind of badly put together propaganda. No offense, I hope I'm wrong, but that's how it looks from the outside.

Also, how do you know they were all premades and picked random champions? Their team doesn't look so bad to me, as long as it's Annie sup and Vlad mid.
