Why I hate dynamic queue

A lot of people have said they hated dynamic queue. Most of which just because they think that 4 man queues ruin their game of solo queue, or that 5 man queues should not be in the same ladder, which I agree with both. However I have one main reason that I think makes dynamic queue SUCH a bad idea.

Boosting. Yes, Boosting. Now I don't mean someone paying another person to get on their account, etc. I mean a friend duo queueing with 4 other lower ranked friends to help himself out. I have a friend that I wont name, but last season he asked me if I could help him get to silver. Since I felt bad for him, I duo'd with him on a smurf from bronze 3 to silver 5. What rank is he this season? Gold 5. How? Another friend queued with him, and 3 other bronze 5's in attempt to get himself to gold. During the process, the other 4 ACTUAL bronze 5's were boosted up to silver, and now are nearing gold thanks to the good friend.

So Snow, you are play, and you are complaining about people getting boosted to gold 5, why do you care? I really don't care about that instance, however there are more cases where friends I know where boosted doing the EXACT SAME THING to diamond+ Diamond is no joke. If you don't know, you have to be close to perfecting the game to reach a tier like that. And if these gold players are getting diamond because of their friends boosting them, there's a problem.

Again Snow, you are plat, why are you complaining about them? And Again I have to say, I don't really care about them either. I am though concerned about who I may be playing against. For all I know some silver/gold was boosted to plat using the exact same method. If that's the case than it is going to make me have a much harder time climbing.

Finally, I want to add some proof of this. Last season I had 3 smurfs which I got all to gold by the end of the season. This season however I have been playing on them consistently, and I have found it is SO MUCH HARDER to carry. Why? Well because people have a 40-30% winrate. How do you expect me to believe you were bronze last season, and got to gold on your own, and are now dropping down with your 30% winrate? Most of them get mad at me because I get mad at them for feeding. However a lot of them just say "lol you're silver 2 stfu" Its pretty annoying to get these kinds of people because I know they were obviously boosted.

In conclusion, dynamic queue is such a big problem right now because of the ability to queue with more than one person. I understand that the solo queue we had last season had the same problem, but if there is one thing you should take away from the post it is this:

TL;DR - Solo Queue had some major problems, however in my opinion, none of them were fixed, if anything, they became worse.
