4 man troll teams.

This is getting ridiculous. About 1/5 games is a 3-4 man premade. Of those 1/3 are "Wacky New Strategies" that have about a 30% chance of panning out; 1/3 are dedicated troll teams, there to make the non-teamates life a living hell; and the last 3rd is teams that are trying, but don't seem any better than normal solos.

That's bad enough, but here's the next tier of the issue. What are the odds that 3-4 people are the same skill level as the 5th person? 3 Bronze 5s can bring a Diamond into silver. So yeah, both sides have a 4 man, but if that Diamond is your lane opponent you're going to have a terrible game. I get it, I should "Get Gud" and just fight the diamond guy, but I'm not so stupid to think that there's no difference between myself and this diamond. That issue of course compounds when you as the odd man out end up feeding the diamond player who steamrolls your 4 man of all bronze/silver/gold turning the game into a 4v1 flame war.

The last game I had was the final straw for me. Enough that I'm not sure I'll play ranked again until something is done to stop this nonsense. I had a 4 man that literally only said profanity to me. From lobby. I asked about a lane swap and was told to f**k off. I was silent the rest of the game and muted them, but all they did all game was dive into the team for their wacky strategy of blitz+Tahm+riven wombo, which never worked once. Riven ended up feeding super hard, and they as a 4 man demanded I be reported for throwing the game and being toxic. I'm fairly sure the other team believed them, when literally the only thing I said all game was "Don't BM." I'm using Literally properly there. It was literally the only thing I typed.

If this was a unique experience I could just shrug it off, but it's starting to feel like ranked teams are now exclusively trolling booster teams, with 3 toxic bronze getting dragged along by a gold/plat/diamond. And since I basically have no intention of making my own premade, I feel like this game isn't meant for me anymore. That I exist as a solo-que player to be the punching bag for rito's favored children. The legendary premades that bring a sense of community to the world.

It's really depressing to be honest.
