Basically it's all summed up in the picture.

I wish there was a way to show people how many games they've played with groups of 4 that went completely normal or were positive experiences. I know my last time with a group of 4 they were all perfectly pleasant to play with, willing to adapt around me - the odd man out.

It's not all 4 man groups, it's that 4 man group you've got a problem with.

I aggree, the biggest problem I have is there is no warning for players in loading screen or draft or anything like that, there's too much speculation going on without that. It's frustrating to even attempt to have discussions about it without proper indicators in game from Riot.

Many don't keep playing with the same players from game to game. They don't get to know the people on their friend list, they just invite people and don't keep track of who they are. I got a game invitation from a guy that played I think it was Teemo, and I played a mage as support, we won...and I'm thinking, there's no way this guy is good enough that I'd appreciate playing multiple games with him in particular, but why not give it a try and see if he's able to learn much or not. Thing was the guy couldn't even remember who I was playing from his previous game.

Some people simply do not track who their friends are on this game and just invite random people to join their games. That's not even playing with friends if you don't know who they are. They are just trying to increase their win rate by adding skillful allies from previous games, skillful at least in the immediate context of the game they won.

I get why they haven't done it, because there are people who would use it as an excuse to leave. "A 4-man? I'm not playing with/against that! <Dodge/AFK ensues>"

That said, it might be time to get people over that mentality. Warning people they're up against a 4 man allows them to prepare for more extreme ganks than they would in a normal game, which can save them from being first blood. It could also help with situations like we've got here, where the community can realize how rare the bad premades actually are.

Yeah, people don't like 'snow ball' meta but they don't realize that accidental feeding partially comes from not giving the opponents the appropriate amount of respect.

TLDR: "If you have 3 friends, you're not allowed to play league together" [zombie-brand-facepalm]

So wait why again can't i play with 3 friends in a video game, i don't see what the issue is, he afked it happens maybe they didn't know he was going to and it just popped out of nowhere. Your lucky they did ff, most of the time even if someone afk's i would keep playing to try and get them leaver buster.
