TL,DR: when queueing as 2 person party for 4v4/3v3, please make the original Party play on the same side (pkt+flank)
Advantage:
Small parties will more often want to play 3v3/4v4 too, so more players in Matchmaking.
People have more fun playing on same side with friends.
Disadvantage:
Takes time to implement.
No more terrible but hilarious fails of your unknown teammate right in front of your eyes
Solution:
Make a 80% successful system, f.e loading the parties into the lobby with 1-2sec delay and just hope they get teamed.
Wouldn’t that put solo-Qers in way more disadvantage?
why would it?
pls make a point if youre gonna suggest there is a disadvantage…
As solo queueer everything will stay the same.
Furthermore it would even improve the rating accuracy, because f.e. 80% of my games are premade 4v4 so my rating is adjusted to having teammates on voice with me. If i suddenly have no communication you can easily take away 100 elo points from my rating and hence making the game unbalanced.
I agree that it would be very nice to be assigned positions on the same side when playing a 3v3/4v4 as a party of two. Since especially 4v4 games usually turn into two 2v2 (one on each side) at my elo, it otherwise often feels like not playing with my pre-made teammate at all.
I don’t see what you mean by “Make an 80% successful system” though.
