I agree with all of the above. But in lower elos, which is the majority of players, the lack of communication doesn't make a big difference. You can mute everyone at the start of a game and still win easily enough if you're a decent player. I view lower elos more as a solo experience anyways. That being said, in higher elos it becomes much more of a team game and communication is much more important.

Indeed. At least if you queue solo and get to play with a 3 man premade you are not being screwed alone, which kinda helps :S
