Suggestion for Flex next season.

So, after some experience as a solo queue'r playing flex 5v5.

I have been put with a 4 man premade that all surrendered while i was taking enemy nexus (seconds from winning). I have been put with a 4 man premade that all quit right when /remake timer was gone. Many other premade related issues like bullying, or taking a role when they didnt get selected for it, or they didnt get their role so they have to mess with your CS, jungle camps, etc.

Can we maybe penalize premade toxic groups for doing things like this?

If the 4 man premade all surrenders and the solo hits no, maybe they should absorb some/all of the solo's LP loss? or if they all quit the solo gets 0 LP loss and they absorb it all split evenly.

Well... If a premade is troll surrendering like that, they can and will be punished:

Hey <name removed in quote>,

Your account was a bit of an odd case that came to us after some manual review. What we found is that you and a group of friends would queue up for ranked matches and then intentionally surrender them despite actually being clearly in the lead.

We've seen this before a few times and we generally don't have a problem with a full pre-made doing this as it's their own LP and MMR at stake. However, the two instances that brought it to our attention were times where you were a pre-made of 4 with a solo player on your team.

These players were not bought into the novelty of surrendering a guaranteed win and didn't appreciate being forced into the joke against their will at the sacrifice of their own MMR and in one case leading to a player's demotion

Please keep in mind for the future that as a group of 5 on the same team you're free to troll each other as you see fit (assuming you're good friends and everyone is fine with it). But when you play with strangers you'll be held at a higher standard then that of just playing with people you know.

I'm not sure about any cases where entire premades leaving were punished, as that falls under LeaverBuster not under behavioral punishments.

Lies it's 1 2 3 5 man games. 4 man premades are not a thing
