@Asperon Oh God I hope not. I'm level 14 right now. Lol, I get so many retard teams it's just ridiculous. I win and lose about 50% of my games. It feels like my wins and losses are entirely up to chance (Like, I feel like I have barely any control over the outcome). Every game everyone's yelling at teammates and enemies, calling everyone noobs, and just raging in general. I've had a number of 4 v 5 (and some 3 v 5) games (me on the smaller team) that I've managed to win, and I always feel like I've played well even when I lose, so I don't feel like I'm the weak link. I've just been screwed over by so many lousy teams that I really hope I don't have to start off fighting my way out of some crummy ELO hellhole later. I don't really care if I make it to some super high ELO later, but I'm hoping I can eventually get to play with people who at least try some minimal teamwork and don't rage everywhere.

Also a question if anyone has an answer: I was playing a game about a week or so ago when I was still level 13... there were some level 30 people in that game. They weren't invited by any lower level people. Does that mean they're really crummy level 30 people or something? The one on my team was a real jerk. He had a good looking score at the end, but it was mostly because I was running around knocking tough enemies off of him when he's low, squishy enemies towards him when he's fine, taking damage for him, and healing him as Alistar (Alistar's not really my specialty, but I was trying to fill out the team composition). He would probably have as many deaths as kills (maybe more) if I hadn't been there. He called the rest of us noobs and claimed he soloed the enemy team. Anyway, I was just wondering how level 30 people could end up in a game with level 13 and 10 people. Just seemed weird.
