There is one flaw in your carpool analogy. For carpools, everyone benefits from carpooling, even those who don't carpool. However, only premade players get anything out of the being in a premade. Solo players get nothing from premades and in some cases have a worse experience. Thoughts?

Analogies are rarely perfect if you poke at them hard enough. I still think the basic idea stands that sometimes people want to do something that is inconvenient for them, so a slight nudge in the form of an incentive, can make it easier for them to commit.
TBH we haven't been focused a lot on whether solo players feel disenfranchized because premades get rewards (the rewards I believe are CP, chests, key frags and sometimes IP). I have heard a lot more about it from players in the last few days and we're looking into it.

The way you tag answers with so many different categories on tumblr is so cute.

I know they are wildly inconsistent and that sometimes it's #leagueoflegends and sometimes it's #league of legends. Maybe I should just give up. Clearly I don't know what I'm doing. But I have this dream that at some point the site has 10,000 answers and people might only want to read the ones about squids, or high-level D&D or maya pyramids.

You going to be on radio silence until Jan? Xmas and all that

I have been answering more questions on http://askghostcrawler.tumblr.com/
I move some of these questions over to there. For this particular answer, I'll probably post some over the break since I'll have plenty of free time for once. It won't be as easy to ask other Rioters when I don't know an answer, which will reduce my ability to address those topics.

Just because someone is "playing to win" when they want to duo mid or roaming Singed counterjungle support shouldn't put *any* burden of proof/flexibility on the rest of the team. If the rest of the team doesn't think it is acceptable most games, the community has spoken.
