Ganged up on by 4man premades in normals daily, Dynamic Queue is going to be a Nightmare

Right now 4man premades are already a horrible experience to be a part of in normals. I cannot imagine just how bad it will be when LP is on the line.

For example today in a normal low level match, it was clear I was grouped with people who were all friends, some even had the same name theme. They spammed chat together and I didn't read most of it or pay attention until the end when I noticed our mid lane went afk after just 24 minutes. I read chat and he said his mom yelled at him to go eat dinner with the family so he had to go. The match was easily winnable and we had barely just started. After he went afk I agreed to the surrender vote even though it sucked because I worked hard to get my team a lot of ganks (I was jungling) and we could have won. What a waste of time that turned out to be and the IP boost I was running to get more runes faster.

After the match I warned "Zed shouldn't play a match if he doesn't even have barely 20 minutes to play, it ruins the experience for others. Sorry but going to report your friend for intentional AFK, he even admitted it in game chat" It's a fundamental rule after all. If he said his house was on fire I woulda let it slide. But it was clear he intentionally started up a match with no time to play.

Anyway, so after I said that chat exploded with all his friends cussing up the biggest 12 year old swear word storm I've ever seen. And ironically they all reported me for "offensive language" after that and I even got the little window "warning me" I was. Which is hilarious because I never once talked and only pinged all match so I'm not worried about it. But still it seems unfair that I was ganged up on by a group of people that simply didn't like me for reporting his friend for breaking one of the biggest the rules.

Now I'm thinking "Wow, this was an unranked low level game with nothing on the line... imagine how out of control 4man premades will act to people when its Ranked?"

I would say I enjoy the game far less when I am paired with premade groups... My bad experiences always seem to stem from them. I'm surprised Riot wants these types of groups to enter ranked. On my other account I play mostly solo queue only and I never have much of a problem with anyone these days, save for the occasional duo queue who troll our team or bully people. Which brings me back to my original point, more premades in Ranked will not bode well I fear.

Thanks Riot for reading my little rant if you got a chance to. -Penn

(PS- Yes I realize the report system will be stronger for the solo guy in the new Dynamic queue, but at the point it will be too late and the experience will already be ruined.)

As soon as I saw that line my eyes unfocused and I couldn't take anything else you said seriously.
