Party in ranked TFT is completely unfair

I've just had a wonderful game of ranked TFT with 4 players with the same club tag that constantly talked to each other. Obviously, they created the game as a party. And 4 other players, including myself, were unlucky enough to get filled in.

Those 4 players went for 4 comps that had no champs in common: Glacial/Berserkers, Inferno/Summoners, 6 Mages, 6 Lights. And they started hyperrolling immediately. Without any serious competition, they all got 3-star champions quickly and blew all other players off the board. I didn't stay to watch how it ended up between those 4, but THIS IS BULLSHIT.

Why is party allowed in ranked TFT? It is completely unfair to those not in the party. What happened in the game above is just one of the advantages of party play in a FFA game. Those 4 players could also bring their alts on a phone and have them throw the game and take the bottom spots. This is a widespread practice in TFT these days. Tons of lv 1 River Sprites in ranked games that either AFK or hyperroll to grab champs that their owners want to take away from their opponents.

DISABLE RANKED PARTY IN TFT!!! Those who want to have fun with friends should play Normal games, not ranked. Ranked TFT is a FFA game, the client says it clearly in the game creation screen: "TEAMFIGHT TACTICS (RANKED) * FREE-FOR-ALL" Teaming up should never be allowed in FFA!

Absolutely disagree. They won because they are good not cause they are party. You shouldn't worry about it because if they are higher division than you then you will gain much more LP for a win or lose fewer LP for a lose.

The game is much more fun in party. Relax.

The other guy is right, you weren't unlucky, you are just bad. Hyper rolling does not change what they might get, the only information they might gain from being on comms is what is in their shop, outside of that you always have access to other players' boards. If you choose not to look at other boards, that is on you. Now if they were sacrificing themselves to boost another, that would be a different story.
