HELP! I've been held hostage by a hostile 4 man premade....

So I have found the 4 man premade I get assigned to in dynamic que is always worse than the 5 man premade I have to play against... somehow every bad play or fed lane is my fault and I leave the match with 4 reports.

The worst part is when they feed their lane blame the jungle and then refuse to surrender after the toxicity sets in. 50 minutes of not being able to do anything but suffer through the worst form of bad mouthing.

Is this common?

Yes it is very common. Every solo player in dynamic queue dreads the day they get held hostage by a 4man premade. Not only do you have no effect on the game, they verbal you, and they ignore your pings. To make it worse, the enemy team is almost always a 4 man as well, so they have the potential to be more coordinated than your 4 man. And yes, they wont FF. Even when they are considerably less skilled their counterparts AND essentially int feeding. But it gets better, because it is low ELO, the enemy team doesn't know how to end the game immediately despite their 20k gold lead. So you are forced to suffer through the next 30 minutes as they slowly grind your team into the ground. This becomes a 50 minute game where you make almost no mistakes but only have about a 1% chance to win. That sum it up?

Not very. Ive had very few problems with premades although these boards feel differently.

Do these reports stick? How do you deal with that scenario? I can understand if its once in a blue moon but I've found this to be like 1 in every 10 games.

I got one of these toxic groups tonight on my promo matches. On the first match they were talking all kinds of trash to other players, spewing constant verbal abuse while talking about their own recreational drug use. When we lost (cuz the 5th guy took Jhin top into a Darius and ended up going 1/6) they decided to blame me (the JG MasterYi ) too for it. So first match of promos was lost.

I queued again, and get the exact same trio queue. Just my luck. Can't dodge cuz it's promos, so this time I'm first pick jungle. First thing they do is ban my MasterYi . Then when it's my pick and I finally realize what happened as the clock is ticking down I panic picked Ashe . They spent the whole match spamming chat with 'PLEASE REPORT ASHE' and several other unmentionables. Our Irelia top this time actually bought into their nonsense and started also spamming /all chat with 'report ashe'. So after a 43 minute match which had the enemy jungle disconnect probably halfway through making a 5v4 we still lost. On the postgame screen my score was 4/5/2 and it graded me S-, for the only S grade on the team.

The funny part is this has happened so often to me that I've honestly stopped caring anymore. I just chalk it up to bad luck.

HOWEVER,

I got downright ANGRY when I read that Rito post admitting that group queues are having a negative effect for solo/duo players and so they'll remove them at the HIGH END ONLY. This problem is WORSE if anything at low ELO. Well this kind of stuff is why I have spent money on this game since season 3. Once upon a time this game was pretty good, but Rito's mismanagement is rapidly destroying it, and the really sad part is that it's NOT the gameplay that's the problem, it's the goofball rules.
