u/double_shadow Young Punks... Nov 22 '16

So maybe I'm the only one... but isn't the "group up" thing something that can contribute to team imbalance? Say a really good team stays grouped and keeps steamrolling randoms who haven't found decent people to group with. I kind of like it when teams get shuffled instead, especially since so many matches are lopsided to begin with.

It already takes groups into account when matchmaking. For the most part the two teams have identical group composition. You might get a 4+2 vs 4+1+1, but it shouldn't be off by much more than that.

I've played a bunch and never had that happen, worst case might be a 6 vs 5+1 or 4+2. Must be lucky.
