    Are you saying that a premade of 4 vs. a pug of 4 is weaker than a premade of 2/3 vs. a pug of 4?

    I'm saying that a premade will most likely be more dominant than a pug of 4 even if the premade is just 2 or 3.

    If you queue in Wolf's Den as a premade of 3, you will be put into the first grouping which has a high chance of pitting you against a pug of 4 because there are more solo players using duty finder for pvp than there are premades of 3. So your group would consist of 2 others you know and coordinate with on voice communication and 1 pug on your team. While the other group has 4 complete strangers to each other that's partying for the first time ever. If you don't see the imbalance in that, then there's nothing else for me to say.

    But you can end up in a premade of 4 vs. a pug of 4. I did that the other day. My LS friends (premade 4) ended up creaming my pug team and mocking me in LS chat. So your solution doesn't appear to be a solution as a premade of any size can vs. a pug of any size.

    Additionally, let's say they made all premades of any size vs. premades of any other size. How do you account for the 1-2 solo players who get stuck in a vs. premade that makes the comp any fairer than what you state is the current issue?

    I am really lost on your proposal. Your solution is improbable and not currently in place in any form that I've seen.
