Trying to play League of Legends alone is unbalanced.

Dear Riot, Please attempt to balance the frequency in which I match with a duo or other premade teams while searching for a match as a solo player. I admit that I am being dramatic to add a message to the boards essentially complaining about it, but it has gone on too long. I am not a child, and do not expect to always interact with adults in a game that is probably most popular with teenagers, but still the odds of having a bad game when I match with a premade of any size at any age are much higher (quantifiably so, though I haven't done the math (conveniently)).

I really hope that you can see that I am trying to fix a problem for others as well as myself. If I were to play ranked more, and this problem occurred in a ranked match my entire day could be ruined by games like those I endure in "normals". It is just too big of a burden for players who queue up as "solo", to be forced to play with groups of others of whom will obviously favor the people in their party, which fundamentally messes with the balance of the game before it has even began.

In the current featured game mode, "One for All", I was forced to "dodge" a queue, because the same premade I was tormented by with a long and uncomfortable game with a champion I dislike playing strongly, was then right after matched with me again. I find it strange that after reporting a player, it makes sense to match me back with that same player and his "goon squad". Perhaps I am being presumptuous in saying that it would be prudent to work on the feature that may or may not exist which could limit one's exposure to players of whom he or she had a bad game with. Even if the fault is on the other party, no one, or whatever, just to allow each player to be around people they like. Isn't that what the term "matchmaking" really means anyway?

Thank you for your time, and I sincerely hope that someone reads this at least once. Notably riot.

P.S. I've seen people utilize the "hash tag", so here is my try. #LoL #Leagueofbullies #soloqueue #RiotPlease (Who knows, maybe that will help, lol).

D.S.

It is somewhat more balanced in lower elo, what they do is count teams as a higher mmr. But the system isn't quite perfect. They are working on it, though, and they recognize it is a problem.
