Why no 5v5 CC?

I was wondering, what's the reasoning behind not allowing 5 players CC queue?

Is this about win trade? Pretty sure things could be done about that like preventing the same two teams from fighting each other more than once every 10 fight or something.

At the fan fest we also saw team fighting so how come they managed to make teams? Just using the pf customs matches?

It is a bit disheartening because it's like the only content you can't play with friends.

There aren't enough people and teams to keep the queue going around the clock, which also means not enough skill diversity to keep all ranks going, which also means off hours can be used for wintrading.

Communities have formed around PvP, including ranked Crystalline Conflict. People get to know each other from ranked, form teams, and scrim each other in custom games. While there IS a world where one can jump right into custom games through these communities, finding a team is usually centered around your ability and whether you mesh socially with a group.

Win trading. There used to be five versus five with organized teams but it was removed because of win trading.
It takes a bit of effort to get five people together to play team vs team games. If there are not enough players to fill the matchmaking queue then some people can rig it to win.

Wintrading aside there's just not enough people to keep splitting the queues more and more, from the DCs I've played on ranked just dies on some of them, unranked remains populated. If they added a third option either it would start dead or kill one of the other queues.
