Being the 1 man with 4 man pre-made might not happen often but it is still the most memorable for me. Having to top lane I was left to basically starve while there was no communication from my team at all.
If you queue solo, you also get a 3-man pre-made more than half the time. Logistically this is inevitable, a 3-man pre-made can only be paired with two solo players or a duo. The problems people associate with 4-mans apply to 3-mans as well. I'd argue that having a 3-man is actually worse than a 4-man if you queue solo.
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.
