I'd rather wait 1 minute longer, to make sure my teammate won't go afk, than having a potential teammate with unstable internet.

so my friend is learning the game and is bronze 2. im gold 1 and cant queue with him. i get demoted to silver 3 and yay we can queue together. but we get into games with ex plat players who are gold 3. how on earth does that make sense?!...
