The Frontlines Premade issue has not been fixed.

[Noitems]

I love how instead of the community actually trying to improve themselves they cry about the evil premades ruining their games and request action to it. SE listens and puts a restriction yet more and more people complain, these premades are in some cases the reasons why games are even able to be formed, especially with the new frontlines changes.

I'm sure this issue was given a lot of backing by the casuals due to Garo being a main focus and people expecting to be carried. Now that these people are out of the picture we now have to live with their actions restricting play for others and being forced to queue into only prime time to play.

If you're fighting a premade, point it out and focus on the aces on their team, and push them into pinch situations so they're caught in the chaos. The best you can do in Frontlines especially is get them off guard, kill their healer and watch them fall like dominoes. Premades don't win games by default, bad play from the other teams causes that whether it's due to something understandable like lack of skill or just incompetence.

EDIT: I have been told these premades on Aether were made with intent to completely screw over the other players and that's not something I would advocate for. Would much rather have a healthier PVP style where it's people having fun and i's skill that takes the win, no bullying and the like.
