    You know, I would agree that if a pre-made ( a competent one) in not in your alliance, it is more difficult to win, however some people seem to basically throw in the towel as soon as they encounter one.

    The term "avoid", seems inaccurate to me, since some of them remain in the match but basically give up - "avoiding" would meaning leaving or avoiding FL, which they don't seem to do - but, they don't seem to want to improve, either. So I wonder why they queue, since how much fun can that be for them- and that definitely doesn't make things fun for some other people in their alliance.

    Perhaps they have concluded that, even if they improved, they'd never reach the point where they could overcome the baked-in advantage enjoyed by premades?

    Do you think when you find one of 'em tucked behind a rock or camped at the spawn point that repeated use of "/slap" on them would violate ToS?

    They could join up with some friend themselves, or other people. By the way pre-mades don't necessarily have some enormous "bake-in" advantage, it depends upon a number of factors. However if they are so discouraged, it goes to the "are you going fun?" question- if someone isn't, then why are they there, and even worse why would you potentially make other people's experience worse? I don't understand that.

    Personally, I don't "/slap" I have been known however to resort to "/facepalm", though not repeatedly.
