I think one issue is that there many different types of premade.

1. The 70% win-rate brigade [shining example: Olivia]. As the DRK meta seems to be reestablishing itself, it will be increasingly dull to play with or against these folks. That said, their prime directive is consistent with the objective of the mode, even if their win-rates are presumably not what the devs intended.

2. "Just playing with friends." Fine if they are contributing to the team winning to the best of their ability.

3. Padders. This growing group is becoming an increasing problem. One of the "mentors" at a large PvP Discord actively promotes and teaches this style. Naturally, being efficient and building personal stats sometimes coincides with group goals, but frequently it doesn't. It's even worse when multiple such premades Q-synch and are more interested in personal vendettas than the outcome of the match. A special case of this group are the single-job unfiltered Q-synchs that put 30 or so people on the field. The chat makes it very clear these people regard FL as their personal playground, and anyone caught up in the mess is just a stupid normy and SOL.

4. Trolls. Somewhat rare, but incredibly annoying. They seem to be there for the XP, but so hate the mode they choose to be disruptive by spamming chat with nonsense and either not engaging in combat or actively feeding to get the match over quicker.

I think all we can do is actively report those violating ToS.
