Finding a team is a bit overrated. If you start up a jsp team you will have zero experience playing with each other. Match making will try its best to match you up with a team of 5. Most likely this team of 5 will have been playing together much longer than you have. So that means they have more experience in running their tri lane. They probably have a good idea of what hero picks to make and more practice playing those heroes in a tri lane environment. You'll probably get outpicked your first several games, and you'll have people playing with heroes they aren't good with or just don't want to play. Losing to a coordinated team is much more infuriating than losing to the pro solo mid, or the farmed carry in the short lane. You can't really blame the loss on a single person since your whole team got raped, and you can't look back in hindsight to see what you could have done to win the game, since you just got outplayed from the picking screen till you conceded. This will cause lots of frustration and you'll make another post here crying about how bad JSPers are at playing this game.
Playing with 3-5 people means that you'll probably get matched against 3-5 people. These games have many more tryhards than your typical solo queue 1650 game. The pressure is much higher in these games, do you really want that? If you want to win these games you have to play super seriously, and do you really want to do that every time?
Losing because we get outpick/outplay is all fine to me, but losing because we get some idiots randoms who ruin the games= uberly gay.
