Every competitive esport allows duo q and group play. These are social games. Nobody thinks LoL, DotA, Fortnite, Apex Legends, etc. etc. are not competitive because this whole 'premade instawin' argument is pure garbage.

If a match has a duo pair in, there must be a duo pair in the other team. It is literally that simple! Suddenly, no more balance issues. No need to split queues, the community can't handle it in ranked, just ensure any duo pairs have an equal number on the opposing team. Job done.

It is a 100% player-driven mode that hilariously is the most solo and lonely experience in the game, is that not just maddeningly stupid?

And as a final point regarding competitive integrity. There is already rampant wintrading, hacking, and people jumping into discord to coordinate when matches start anyway. SE don't seem to care about that hurting the competitive environment. They just care about letting you play with your mates.
Yep, exactly this. and it's not like teams don't coordinate already without needing to even talk... It doesn't take a genius to figure out if you're a DRG with LB and the DNC on your team has his up to wait for them to pop it so you can kill a group of people. People are here pretending talking is going to make that much of difference.

We already have people focus firing others in PVP by simply marking them a "1". Coordination already exists.
