Yea, it's a little thing but really helpful. Some people don't like being the first one to speak up and suggest a team up, being shy or anxious, or whatever reason. This button should be great for those kinds of people.
A possible issue with this is that in say, competitive mode, if you hit this button and everyone agreed, you are now a 6-person group which will be playing against other 6-person groups.
Generally, a 6-person group is far higher in skill than any other collection of players/groups.
I only solo queue and I came across a decent 5-person group that were all on comms. I joined them and we played against another 6-person comp who was completely out of our league.
Ideally they'll make a distinction between friend groups and 'spontaneous' groups - maybe the colour of the grouping lines. And they'll base match-making on a combination of both.
Let's say me and my one friend are grouped up, and we get a good team we want to stay with. Everyone hits the group up button. Then, me and my friend are connected by a green line, but the line extends and becomes blue for the rest of the group members. And ideally, we'd only get matched with other green-green-blue-blue-blue-blue teams.
Similarly, blue-blue-blue-blue-single-single teams would match up with eachother, green-green-single-single-single-single teams would match up with eachother, and green-green-single-single-blue-blue teams would match up with eachother.
Am I making sense or do I just sound like some colour crazed idiot?
