Casual players are very likely to play in pre-mades because they don't like PvP and only play with friends. Your solution would force casual players or new players being introduced into PvP by a friend to get stomped repeatedly by these pre-mades that you say are a problem, causing them to quit PvP, losing us new players.

    So it's fine as long as you don't have to see the pre-mades, right?
    I'm far too lazy to write this out again so...

    I play with friends. We queue together to be on the same team, but aside from that we play separately. My support/coordination with my friends is no different to that of random players on the team. Our competition remains between each other, comparing scores at the end. These premade teams are totally different, taking heavy advantage of the fact that they have a pre-arranged team which many players may not have (PvP isn't exactly a highly popular part of the game and matters like this contribute to that) and using voice chat to reach a level of coordination which cannot be replicated within a random team.

    Yes, and you don't see the problem with putting the casual 'play for fun' pre-mades permanently in the same queue as the 'meta comp and voice comms' pre-mades?
