That really isn't going to happen though, is it? There are only maybe 2-3 meta premades that see themselves as that at any given time, so it's just something that wouldn't pop outside qsync, which i suppose would be fine.

I think it's worth admitting this is a casual game mode.
How many "premades" are just friends, and how many are meta stacks that figured out that pressing buttons together is just way more efficient? I would imagine they are a minority, no?
It would seem to be an overcorrection to remove ability to queue into a casual mode with friends for majority of players. Especially as the problem is "stomping" and not the innate grouping up.

Surely, the best thing to do for a more competitive game mode that you guys so want is to have solo only ranked queue with it's own rewards, but keep the casual experience casual with grouping up.

p.s.
I would thrive in solo ranked queue environment, so personally I would be all for it. I just think it's disingenuous to say that premades are "the problem", when it's actually just current iteration of skills being so insanely burst focussed.
