ok, so can we get some context on randoms in solo que getting matched against 5's?

there were already pleads to remove duo ques from solo que and make teamgames and solo que 2 entirely separate things due to all the abuse cases of people carrying their scrub buddies into higher divisions for those loading screen borders.

i mean who thought it would be a good idea to pit a group of 5 disorganized randoms against full teams with already prepared strategies and voice communication?

over the years this game has been running, weve learned that commuication is one of the largest deciding factors in this game. on top of that we also have increased snowballing with season 6, which makes miscommunication and mistakes a lot more punishing.

what was the actual goal here? and how in the world did nobody see this going sideways?

yea, no. making the game shit for a large portion of the player base (this is just an educated guess, but the solo que population is probably massivley larger than the people who are playing team games), makes them no money.

i guess they really did just want to promote teams and get the que times down for people who are playing in 5's.

but this is just not gonna work out. they need to go about it another way and give people better tools and incentives to form teams instead. and then there is the peoblem that most people dont want to invest serious time and efford into this game and just match up for a quick game.

They don't let 4-5 man premades battle solo players, the system takes into account premades and causes them to fight other premades, not solo players.
