Why are we punishing people with friends so harshly now?

I'm getting so many pred and master trails in public matches with friends it is getting a bit crazy. Yesterday there were still 30 left in the ship and I counted 10+ trails. And you know people they ...

@BaldWraithSimp When I solo queue my lobbies are much lower level so it isnt my win rate by itself. And my normal teammates arent significantly better than me and certainly arent masters or pred level. The only difference is we have a team.

@hayhor I get it why they implemented it, as pre-mades have way better co-ordination, reflected by your win rate. That's double of what I can achieve as a solo-queue!

I can't attest to the severity of whatever shape or form of SBMM they have as at least 80% of my 14k games is solo-queued.

    @BaldWraithSimp It shouldn't matter. It is a choice we make. I played yesterday solo and won 3 times. My win rate actually went up solo queuing. I 🤣

      @hayhor That’s the thing... when we play together for that 1.5-2 hours we usually get between 0-3 wins. Alone I get just as much usually or more xD.

      Just now I did 3 games letting my food cool off, first one JM is afk and comes back in final few secs but by that time I had already solo jumped and other guy followed me and JM after bit of looting I’m assuming D/C’d.

      2nd game 5-10 min game but unfortunately wiped out due to no blame of any of us.

      3rd game win, nothing really special.

      What was weird tho... each of these lobbies the champion was either a diamond or pred with 20 bomb... one of them had a Bang with 80K+ kills... I screamed it out “EIGHTYTHOUSAND KILLZ?! WTPEEP!!!”

      I expect such things when premade, not when I’m solo with my useless bum xD

        @Koochi-Q It has been even worse since we last played. It used to be one or two super squads with premade. Now its 5 to 10. 1 to 2 I can live with. That team on the champion screen typically hot drops and dies.

        The other thing tho- when I solo the average competition is much lower skilled (as are my teammates). I literally coached my team to wins and killed a lot of people. One dropped us on the red roof place. I killed 5 people with an alternator. A pillow shooting gun made me kill leader! That's how bad the other teams were. I hate being the lead in the game. I just want to have fun and let others plot everything out.
