This is a ridiculous conversation that really doesn't require 20 pages. Of course premades are oppressive. Imagine queing solo, as good as you think you are, facing 8 people greater or equal to your skill level. Ffs your playing against people that have literally spent 2+ years of their life of game time in that game mode. Imagine betting your money, what kind of odds would you want. The real question is if we should care, its just a casual format to begin with. I mean if your singular goal is to make the game mode fair then a forced solo freelancer q would be required. Doing so would ruin the experience for some, again ultimately its a game and people should be having fun and that means playing with friends.
