Pre-Stacked / SBMM / 3rd Partying

Hello, first of all I play the game from beginning. After a break of months, I played a lot the last weeks and it just makes no sense. In about 90% of the public games there is a least one very go...

@scir0 In BR's, third partying is a major occurrence while battling, and it would be difficult to balance it.

I do feel your struggle though ☹️

This is a game where there are 20 teams, not 2. Expecting the game to play out like a bracket style tournament where everyone matches up vs their opponent then the 10 winners loot and heal up before going to round 2 and then 1 team gets a free pass for round 3 and round 4 and then round 5 is the final two teams for the win.

As for stacks, obviously they're going to have an advantages. They're going to be familiar with each others play style, good communication, probably relatively similar skill levels, etc. These things all make a huge difference, especially in high level play where you can't just expect to 1v30 a bunch of people who miss most of their shots or can't keep up with your movement.

What's the proposed solution? Predators get restricted to a playing pool of only other predators and so they have to sit around until 60/500 of them are all queueing up at the same time? 3stacks of diamond+ only get matched vs other 3stacks of diamond+ and so they also have to wait until 20 squads of 3stack diamond+ manage to queue at the same time? Should a 1pred 2 master stack be matched vs a team of 3 diamonds or should 3stacks of diamond only be matched with other 3stacks of diamond?

@Wizardhawk thanks for your reply! I agree with you 100% on the stacks.
My post is actually focusing on pubs games but it is definitely a problem in ranked mode as well. I dont know the solution but the situation currently is not acceptable!
In the last days/weeks I got in at least 8 of 10 games pre stacks in my lobby!!! It is totally unfair if you queue up solo!!
I guess there are too less players currently to match preferably pre stacks with pre stacks and solo queuers with solo queuers.
Most times I get a level under 100 and a level under 300 matched with me lvl 500. I dont say under level 100 is automatical bad but it often lacks in experience and it is still unfair against 3x very good players.
The prestacks are 3x level 500, 3k and/or 4k damage and 20kills badges, thousands of kills eachI

Also I never have seen so many smurfs like nowadays.
