Ranked is broken.

There is absolutely no reason for being able to queue up with 3-4 people in a standard ranked match. It is incredibly unfair to both the teammate left out, and the enemy team. I don't know why it was changed, but quite honestly, its absolutely broken. If you want people to play ranked together, allow only duo queue, or just 5's! This 4 man team thing in ranked is not okay. Ranked is to test your individual ability, and see how you match up against other players at your level. Ranked is not a place to see, "who has the best friends to carry them."

There is a simple solution. Allow players to solo/duo queue, or simply play 5's. I'll say it over and over, 4 man teams do not belong on a 5v5 map in ranked. It is totally fine in normals because, that is what they are for. Ranked is a place to climb based on your own ability. I'm sad to say it, but if this does not change, Riot will lose a ton of players because of this. It is not fair one bit. Look at the responses from veteran and LCS players. They do not like it, and neither do I. There is a reason that so many people are complaining about solo/duo being replaced with this garbage new system. I love dynamic queue, where you select your two best roles to play, and I feel like that should stay. Again, what should not stay, is teams of 3 or 4 getting thrown into a RANKED game with one or two solo players. That will never end well. It is just straight up not fair and not okay. Leave dynamic queue the way it is for normals, but something needs to be done about this ranked system. It is unfair and ENCOURAGES boosting. Think about it. Just queue up with your best ranked friend, and climb on their behalf. That is not what ranked was designed for many years ago. It can't be. It just can't.

Bullshit.

Its not that common, and 99% of premades are randoms who just had a good match last game, are NOT on voice chat, and have the same chance your team has to win.

Stop with these stupid threads just cause you lost and "oh it must be premade"

Still doesnt changed that Ranked is broken for a ton of reasons.

One quick example: Losing 22LP when its 4v5 and you get an S.... Your LP should be linked to your grade immediately.
