Rank should have it's own separate queue for solos and 3 man premade

Why is it even possible for solo players to end up in a 3 man premade lobby? Rank is a place where you can test out your skills against players of similar skills but that point is completely thrown ...

@Daze623 Because the lobbies are already more difficult with friends due to them already trying to do what you ask. It's ridiculous.

@hayhor and that's how it should be? Atleast it'll still be fair for premades while making it an even playing field for solo/duo players. There's a reason why high rank players are often playing in a squad and super rarely you'll see someone playing solo in high rank.

    @Daze623 No it shouldn't be that way at all. Every person that plays has the ability to communicate and ask others to play more games. You likely have 10s of thousands of games right? Majority solo? In all that time you never met someone you could play more with?

    I'm all for buy ins being different for solos but separating lobbies like they do is a bit silly. If you choose to play alone that's on you.

      @hayhor Because I like the randomness a random teammate gives? It makes the game feel more new with every game than just playing with the same old squad over and over again? Plus you shouldn't be forced to play on a team if you're not doing anything harmful to other players.

        @Daze623 I actually play solo a lot now just for this too but I don't feel entitled to an easier lobby just because I made a choice to play on my own.

    @Daze623 I have to agree with @hayhor here. I have a group of two friends I play with, and whenever we play together we get matched against 3 stacks masters or preds, but usually as soon as we play as a duo because someone left or as solos our matchmaking is much better. As hayhor said, you shouldn't be punished for having friends, this game should be skilled based matchmaking not "how many people are on your party matchmaking"

      @MrCarri-X Just because you lost your advantage over solo/duo squads doesn't mean you're being punished. It just means you're put in a more fair lobby. Messy matchmaking is an entirely different conversation.

        @Daze623 I don't mind playing against other three stacks, as long as they are my own skill level. I am nowhere near the level of someone who ever got to master o predator rank
