The biggest problem right now is that if they go into season with the way it is, we will have these problems. Solo only matches based on the average rating of the two teams, and it will adjust your ratings objectively based on whether or not it was a win or a loss.

Matched 4v4 does not take your rating into consideration with matching, so you could be paired with teams far out of your ratings. There's also the part where the ratings are still for each individual rather than collectively as a team. As far as i'm concerned, this is incredibly backwards if their intent was make it so ranks matter for rewards.

If they want ranks to matter, it be based on the ranks of a team, not the average of the four individuals. You get four people ,you always queue together. That should be the only standard for a rated game where seasonal rewards are involved. Make them match with other teams close to their rank, and they gain/lose ratings depending on their win/loss.
