Can someone explain to me how solo queueing and groups work in ranked

[AAAkaneAAA]

Can someone explain to me how the matchmake organises groups and solo players in ranked mode? Does it try to equal groups (e.g. stack of 5 on each side) or not?

[AAAkaneAAA]

can anyone help me on this?

many people are complaing but the matchmaker will match solo queue players against premades it does not try to make it fair

That would make the matchmaker unbalanced, though. Why are they doing this if it gives lower quality matches?

Because its competitive in name only... we should have solo/duo queue but even with premades... they should suffer MMR penalty... meaning that solo players should get better teammates than average of premade team.

They've got to be careful, because overwatch did this (though i think in overwatch's case it was due to lack of players, which this game obv doesnt have as an issue) and it generated a lot of hate and disillusioned players who left. As a solo player, I resent a game that doesn't aim to put me in a fair fight as it feels like a waste of time. People will start to get tired of it because it will control the experience and make it erratic.

Reviving an older thread, but this is disappointing to hear. This explains a lot, once I hit Platinum I started playing with and facing a lot of premades... hence why I'm here searching the topic in forums. I could tell because of their microphone banter, they were obviously in Discord and were all friends.

They really need to fix this. I don't like potentially losing matches because one side has more of a congruent team in discord with a perfectly tailored hero composition. I do my best, I heal, I change healers, watch videos on strats, positioning, etc. I do everything I can but it is a team based game. If I get hard stuck on plat/diamond over this, I won't keep playing as it feels like my time and effort is being respected.

Then you need to get a TEAM for this TEAM-BASED shooter.

Or, you can be stubborn and stop playing altogether. I respect either choice.
