Crystaline Conflict is the worst

[Arzalis]

Just accept that premades won't be joining CC for the forseeable future. It benefits nobody except the selfish players who want to curb stomp solo queue players so they can get their series XP grind done efficiently.

Or like, you know, people who want to play with their friends in an MMO. Basically the entire point of the genre.

I think it's very obvious most of the people here have legitimately never done any other competitive game in their life. if it were functioning correctly (and it's not, so it's another SE problem because they designed the ranking system poorly) the matchmaking system would very quickly throw people who are stomping randoms into games with really good players and it wouldn't be one sided anymore. That's supposed to be the actual function of a ranking/matchmaking system: To determine your personal/group skill level and match you in a way you'll win about 50% of your games.

But yeah, if you want your game mode to be dead, keep it so people can't play with others. SE is just wasting dev time doing basically anything else until they change it, barring the first few weeks or so when people just play for rewards and then never touch it for 4-5 months.

Riddle me this: if the way you're supposed to play CC is truly with completely random people, why is SE hosting official tournaments with full premades? They could've totally drawn random people to play in groups of 5.
