Here, I've found that matches have improved a little recently, but still depends on how fortunate you are with your queues. At one point, premades were in practically in every game, with a couple of premades in particular becoming widely recognised for their obvious use of voice chat, use of DRK-RPR-DRG-DRG combo, and for being highly arrogant in games (responding to conflicting calls/team unrest in ways such as "Do you have a 90% win rate? No? Well I do, so shut up and do as I say"). Over time, this approach hasn't won them favour amongst many random players and, as a result, I see more and more negative responses aimed at them, both from their allies and opponents. More recently, I see those particular teams less often. Premades are still a common sight, but it doesn't compare to how the problem used to be (I hope I haven't jinxed it with that sentence!)
I have a feeling I know who you're talking about. This is an old screenshot, but I have a feeling you're talking about the players from Adders Team B.



I played with a EU alt against them, they're definitely skilled and very experienced players. Had a lot of fun matches against them when I'm cooking a new strategy with different jobs and notice their shenanigans (mind you I'm also solo). I won against them twice in a row and then they stopped queueing (probably due to timezone difference at the time). A shame, really. I had a lot of fun adapting to whatever type of strategy they came up with. Fighting against good players helped me improve on jobs I don't play much to develop a playstyle for them.
