From my experience it took me 2 weeks to reach gold back during season 1. I can buy if it's a day (though I'll still be suspicious).
This is half true, you can trick the system into queueing you with friends if you all queue at the same time. I've done it several times with my partner. So it's not a stretch of the imagination to see 5 people who all know each other on the same team. Even if you end up on separate teams, your friends on the opposing side can just throw the game and help you rank faster that way.
