Solo Queuing is Complete HELL right now...
Not sure if it's cause of the new system or if MMR is wonky or what. But I haven't had a "real game" in ages.

This is why i am taking an extended break from league. Game feels broken, generally see the same 10-15 cbampions in all of my games, and tired of getting grouped with premades who never follow up on anything i do because they have a different game plan in mind that they never thought to share with me.
9/10 will get put in a 4-1 group and get trolled by the 4 man group.
I think a lot of things came together recently to really change the visceral feel of the game for the lower brackets.
Different ascpects of the Dynamic que and the for-profit ban system that's been in place for a few months have contributed to this.
An army of trolls is trying to climb the ladder with new accounts. (oh you thought u thought banned players left forever? Riot knows better)
A different army of trolls is finding enjoyment in making players rage. (encouraged by the new ban system, whether they're better at trolling than playing or just smurfs who want to take a break and troll lower elos)
If you're a solo player, you're much more likely to get the trolls, feeders, and afkers. (what's the data riot? do solo players lose 30% more games?)
These are two data points I'd be interested in:
-
how many of the banned players make new accounts
-
how many more games does a solo player lose compared to a player who is part of a team
Would it be worth getting rid of the 4-man que (It takes the longest anyway) so that 2, 3's, and 5's can que together and solo's can que together?
Seems fine to me.
It strikes me that your case is a classic PPP; Post patch paranoia
