I don't play ranked, but aren't there teams which you can invite and play in invited teams? Therefore you won't get bad teams.

Also it depends on the champions that are being played on both teams as there are champions who are technically a counter to other champions, like how Xin Zhao can simply disrupt Fiddlesticks airborne while he is chanelling Drain or Crowstorm.
