@Gabrielmojo26 The response has more to do with premades. We've all known for awhile a premade team went by the highest sbmm rated player and were put in premade lobbies. Anyone thats spent time playing with friends knew this.

I'm curious what the fix is going to be. If they try to group premades correctly but keep them in premade lobbies, the queue time will go up. So I think you as a solo queue player may suffer more because you'll be seeing more premade teams.

@hayhor I don't care about premade teams. They're not the issue. As long as their combined skill lvl match or is lower than my soloQ team's combined skill lvl. It's only a problem when I get Mr. and Mrs. Fragment or teammates enrolled in the 200 dmg club, while these Diamond+ 3-stacking ******* are all in my lobby. Lobbies should just be fair, that's all that interest me. If I get two noobs, I should play a lobby full of "1 me and 2 noobs" teams, or at least within a certain parametre of my team's lvl. Just stop giving me two *** **** squishy guns in a Diamond+ 3-stack lobby!

    @CCbathwater Yes that would be fine but let's say you're a 1 kd player solo queueing. A premade of those same skill players may kill your team of randoms just due to better communication. Right now most of the time those premades are dumped into higher skill lobbies.

    @hayhor 

    Comms cannot be measured so I agree with @CCbathwater the measurables should be what is used. 

    Just because a team is three stacked does not mean they have better coms they could be using the game comms. 

    I have used the game comms many times with Randoms and that is great but all in all comms does not help all that much if you are a great player and are teamed with two low skilled players whether 3 stacked or random. 

    The measurable skills should be what SBMM is about.

    @Asmodeus566 I agree with you. But what I'm saying is if you pit 3 randoms of equal skill against a team using coms of equal skill the team using coms will win more often.

    @hayhor I am glad to hear you agree with my statement. I also agree with yours about comma as I see good comma as probably one of the must crucial elements of the game neede in order to win. Yes 8-9 times out of 10 the team with better comma will come out on top in a fight or for the win in a match.
