I don’t want premades with me, or against me, at least not more than 2.
This isn’t fun.
Solo players should at least not lose PIP when they are put in those games,,,,,,,
You’re within the 15 pip range, both teams have a group of 4, the point difference is less than 50, and overall it looks like a close match.
This is really a poor example of wanting to have Solo Q, and sort of proves that the new system is providing better match-ups regardless of partied match-ups. There is more to how the system works than selfishly wanting solo Q, and it seems Evan is making an honest effort to find a middle grounds.
In terms of the matching system, this is honestly the only part of what Anet is currently doing that I’ll defend. Most everything else, not so much…

Its not a poor example if its unfun for that one poor soul on each side trying not to get kittened by the enemy team, OBVIOUSLY its balanced matchup, but FUN is the point, and that FUN is being ruined by 4 man premade.

I wouldn’t go telling yourself that FUN is the object of ranked queue. Generally people are in the mindset to win above everything else, so players may yell at others in chat. Some players may refuse to listen and do what they think is best. Some players may refuse to switch off a class they find FUN, and because you can’t counter the enemy comp effectively now you aren’t having FUN.
Does any of that sound FUN?
Ranked is about winning first and foremost. And losing doesn’t make PvP not fun, you yourself just admitted it was a fair match-up. On the flip side I’ve had obnoxiously hard matches, won, and absolutely hated it. FUN is more a side effect, and winning the object.
Entirely subjective I guess. I’ve had fun as a solo Q’er against full premades. Even as duo Q match against an ESL team we played the other night. It was easily the most fun I’ve ever had.
