Does it happen? Sure it does. Is it a problem everywhere? Not at all.

Calling pre-mades a poison upon the entire mode is an exaggeration. And before you deflect and call me one of the pre-mades, I only queue solo, been doing it since FL began, will continue to queue solo.
I couldn't agree with you more, I don't know whether this stems from people who detest the actual mode (3 alliance) , who haven't had a lot of experience with larger scale random alliances, or find it really different from their prior experience and don't like it.

For example, one prior comment said that it was "daft" to mix a pre-made into solo queues. Now, this isn't the first game where I've seen this in a non-competitive mode, it was used in a PvP/PvE game and players here would have found it even worse because a whole pre-made team (6 people) could be matched against a full pug OR a pre-made. Were pre-mades hard to form there? Not at all, yet some people solo-queued anyways - and yes, the premades would usually win.
