I definitely think it's fair that a more experienced player will have far less trouble with premades. But that highlights the issue I'm worried about. Mogtome events are an ideal time to introduce new players to FL. Such players are pretty easy to spot: they move less and react slower. During the last event, my experience on Aether was many battles being incredibly one-sided. A look at the K/D/A tended to reveal why. So sure, if you like, "it's a skill issue." Many things are. But in order to grow the game, the last thing we need is rookies getting placed on an uneven playing field, particularly when the current balance makes certain 4-person compositions execution squads for learning players.
