Time to play only with stacks unless you have good friends, you might be better off playing alone. on my main account (about 800 games played) it dropped from like 55% -> 51.50% since I started playing with friends over the last few months. My friends aren't so good. ~:D
My friends actually bring me down from VH to High.
We still lose a lot.
They aren't very good.
Edit: Still 50.5% winrate :D!

Regardless, stacks are always more fun - especially if you have voice comms!

I solo q in Very high ( just barely)
I have friends that always play in normal when we party up. We lose unless I go mid/carry, no fun

Queuing with people who have MMRs that far apart is always going to be awkward. Even if it's a "balanced" game, only one of two things is going to happen: either you get a game close to your friends' MMR, and it's super one-sided, or you get a game closer to your MMR, and your friends are just feeding left and right while you struggle to carry them.

Hehe, random'd slark in a game last night. They put up an agressive trylane bot, which fed me mercilessly until I had a DR at 23 minutes.
So, naturally, I die in the first teamfight and give up the rapier. The game lasted 80 minutes with the rapier switching sides every single teamfight. We eventually won during a base race. No racks were down at the 60 minute mark.
One of my friends decided to go back to LoL after that

Was the game too good for his poor heart? That seems the opposite of a terrible game.

I'm a very desperate man for 5-man CM queues.

Yeah I went into very high by myself and then I started to play with some friends that are in a wide range of normal and high and it all went to shit in the end. It's just not possible to play stacks like that :<
Gonna make me a new account just for solo and more serious play I think. ㅡ.ㅡ

Fnatic vs Baguette
Meepo pick by Fnatic :O

Honestly I find 5 stack AP to be more high level than 5 stack CM. Mainly because in CM you can win by outdrafting since it seems most people that play CM lack some subtle drafting techniques that you find teams that use scrimming channels have.

play cm with dead9 and see his patented 4 protects 1 with sniper going 0-20 transitioning into winning the game build copyright 2013

Nothing feels quite like starting 6-0 and ending 25-37. Exquisite is what it is

Anyone know roughly when the patch will drop on the main client? Its been a while since we've had a hero patch I can't remember

Between midnight and 2 AM GMT

probably never to annoy kipsate

Still, if you really have a queue buddy for some time your mmr will start to sync, like mine and Tetons were for a while.
Now we just take turns at carrying eachother 
(and tell each other that it wasnt our fault we lost, we are experts at that)

Even if your MMR syncs, if your actual ability at the game is vastly different, it will still cause problems (particularly if one player's MMR starts to overstate his actual skill because he's getting carried by the better player).
It's less likely to be a big deal when its only 2 people. It's most apparent if you're playing 5 stacks where one or two players are vastly better than the others.

Yes well, as previously mentioned, we don't play that well. Especially since the two of the players tend to be very different people from day to day (can usually depend on the same 3 people being on every night, though).
Edit: Random question - what is your skill build for a 5th slot (maybe 4th) Shadow shaman?
