^Yes and no. With a buddy you have better communication and less chance of having a leaver. However it also depends on the skill of your buddy. If there is a vast difference in elo between the two of you, and there deserves to be, then it will impact performance of one of you. For example someone less skilled will be pulled in vs players they probably shouldn't be playing with.
