I've frequently done this as a solo caller. You literally don't need a premade to "stomp", but just enough people following up pulls. Sure that doesn't happen every time if you don't have a premade, but enough times to make me think that the whole "ban premades" is funny. It literally wouldn't impact me, but will not resolve the issue that people are talking about.

Hypothetical question. At what point should a premade be banned?
2 people? 3 people? 4 people? Removing premades entirely will actually piss off a lot of casual players, who frankly don't care about frontline at all, and just doing roulette with friends. What roulette is there where you can't queue as a group?
I get it that it's to help balancing, but balancing in a casual mode with bad rewards doesn't matter. Because any participation is rewarded equally, the majority of players don't actually care about performance.

If you want a hardcore mode, with only solo performance, it needs additional rewards, and actual matchmaking - because I don't think people would queue for it as much otherwise. "Premade only" mode will be dead on arrival.
