I DID have queue problems (TT OR SR) a week ago, but mine have all resolved by now. Riot thinks they are as well - everytime you have a really long queue if you could submit your logs to Riot after it resolves, and note that that is the reason why, that'd be great.
@Vaultboy: If you were each level 4/5, at least one of you was detected as smurfs by the matchmaker and kicked out of newb island permanently. You were given a (small to large) Elo bump matching your presumed skill, and basically you're going to be in a (very slightly) lesser Elo bracket than your main, with a massively less powerful account.
For pleasant smurfing I recommend creating a new account each time you are kicked out of newb island, so only a handful of games per account. Do note that you're screwing over the games of 9 (or 8) other people when you do this, as you get kicked back to the first time players on each reset, so proceed with as much caution as your honor allows xD.
I'm sorry your ISP has been so shitty, I've missed playing games with ya. I really don't blame you at 500ms though.
When you're playing on a smurf, earlygame is the MOST painful part as Lasereth mentioned. The level difference often makes the most hard difference here and often compensates for less skill. Also, a newer account has MUCH more variance in its win ratio. A level 5 account has what....a dozen games on it? Having a lot of losses is just a factor of chance really at that point. MM is still out to give you a 50% ratio, but keep in mind it doesn't have you accurately pegged at that time yet, and possibly your allies or opponents either.
It does the best it can :P
