I could make an educated guess to why they defend it.

The whole position is just nonsense though. Getting curb stomped by premades doesn't encourage me to get better, it just dissuades me from wanting to bother with the game mode. Even if I somehow became the best Front Lines player in existence, it's still largely inconsequential unless I'm paired up with other competent players capable of countering one of the meta comps. The only way to consistently attempt to address the issue is, ironically, to run with a premade group of my own to counter other premades. Which if that's the intent of all of this, then SE should just split the FL queues between group and non-group queues.
