Let's talk about premades and draft

Well. Posting complaints as an ADC main leads to crucifixion I would imagine. So, here I am with the problem that I'm playing one of the best PVP games in the world but with the worst players to back it up. Being ridiculously passionate about a game you've watched evolve year after year and become abused by a premade system that riot can't seem to fix leaves me so angry that I almost don't want to play the game just because I'm aware that I have to play by rules outside your control. Which I mean, how can you deem what players will actually say or do I get it, you can't. I get two immediate options that sort are rules of engagement, tell the premades to go **** themselves and get future banned or say nothing and hate the entire time I'm playing. There's no board post that's going to solve it, but maybe some soloq will understand. The final option is to play with a rowdy premade in which then I'm apart of the problem that ruins the game. Then there's going to be that one soloq who feels like they aren't even really playing the game they're just existing so at that point I completely sympathize. Honestly the only real fix for this is setup your soloq players with a solo/duoq only draft like you used to have. That only leaves draft for fun but how can I have fun when I can run into massive premades who know they can poop on soloq players and get away with it? And even here, me taking all this to a board, premade players are probably looking to shoot me down.... but riot seems to think that the community doesn't favor premades.

I'm not sure what your complaint is.

Premades are not allowed to be toxic towards the solo players.

It may seem like premades are allowed to bully the odd person out, but that isn't the case. Every ones reports are equal. One report is all it takes to trigger a review. Premades can't gang up to get someone punished.

Literally just us here.

I don't usually play in a premade at all.

That's rude, you ignored all of their points and chose instead to label them something in an effort to dismiss them.

C'mon dude, don't be a scumbag. You're better than that.

They can and do. Premades are the only time I ever got in trouble. Took me a while to spot the baiting. They harrass you enough without cussing and then one slip up, 4 reports, confirmed and punished. Don't even believe that lie that 1 report is same as 4.

And usually they ALL chat to the enemy team to also report you and lie about what is going on.

That is the key sentence. They are baiting. Don't take the bait and you will be fine.

Solo players can bait as well. Perhaps, the premade bait is stronger. I will admit that.

I like this idea. Lately I have been running into about 20% 5 man premades vs randoms. It usually spells an insta loss. It is not fun at all and just makes one angry that Riot would waste their time.

edit If Riot would give me more experience win or lose for playing 5 man premafes in draft I wouldnt mind. Paying me for my once wasted time so to say. But it would have to equal that of a win at a loss and more at a win. That is only fair.
