@Riot what is the thinking behind this?

This upcoming season we're replacing the solo/duo queue with a dynamic group queue, where you'll be able to climb the ladder with any number of teammates, going from single participation all the way to a full team comp. There's no longer a penalty for players ranking together, so the benefits of grouping up will always prevail. You'll still need to be of similar rank to your queue-buddies, and the system is designed so that groups will almost always play against similarly grouped opponents (so if you're in a premade five, there's a 95% chance you'll run into another premade five), but now you'll be able to compete the way you want to.
Probably hands down the worst change for season 6 so far. ELO boosting is going to become ten times more rampant than it is now. Have fun being the odd man out of a 3 or 4 premade group that only cares about themselves and ignores the people that have the misfortune of getting matched with them, because thats exactly how it already works in norms already. I mean seriously what is the thinking behind this? How could this possibly be a good way to determine a players skill? Getting put at a massive disadvantage against premades with voice communication? And whats with this 95% chance of not getting matched against a 5 premade crap? it should be 100% with absolutely NO exceptions. NONE. ZERO. EVER.
Ranked teams and SoloQ have been kept separately all this time for a reason Riot.
