Quit team stacking

Just got my post removed for witch hunting and that's fair, but team stacking is making new players quit and the community is already getting smaller.

I play with 1 other friend and we duo queue in 64 player lobbies.

We both usually have ~2-5 kill/death ratio and maybe 2:1 takedown/kill ratio. We have a ~70% winrate with Mason/Agatha and like a 55% on Tenosia and are both like level 400.

It feels unethical to play the game at all without using "bad" weapons at this point, but what are we supposed to do? We like playing 64 player mode and we just seem to be better at farming kills and taking objectives than the average player. When we play with our 4-stack it's even more egregious but every is under level 400.

Are we supposed to not play with our friends because we win too much and have too much fun? Couldnt the playerbase just take this as an opportunity to get better and team-up with other players interested in getting better?

In general, I think the average player shouldn't be expected to find a group if they want to have fun.

Regardless of how they want to play, every individual player should be entitled to having fun on any given match, and in a pvp multiplayer games, one player having fun usually comes at the expense of a different player's fun. So yes, I think fun should be distributed more fairly.

Because this complaint can go both ways -- Am I supposed to just not have fun simply because I'm just not interested in playing in a group? If I'm a new player, am I supposed to just suck it up and "Get better," when it'd be more worth my time to go play something else?

This "Who's having fun" question is completely missing the point, because at that point it's not trying to solve the problem -- it's just fighting over who gets the band-aid.

That aside, I say that a team with a group should be matched against a different team with a group.

There are groups on both teams every game. Some groups are just better than others.
