If you could somehow arrange matches such that each team had a premade trying to win, and featuring a shot-caller (which I think is your intent), my instinct is it would improve matches.
In my experience, the premades who are noteworthy enough to be a problem are either frustrating to play against or boring to play with. I don't want to be saddled with a premade by default, in lieu of simply matching them against one another exclusively which is the much simpler and more effective solution.
