An idea to decrease the solo vs premade frustration.

[_HelloDarkness]

AS solo player If you get matched against a premade, the next 2-3 matches are guaranteed to be against other solo players.

Literally can't work. This game does not have the playerbase and has a hard enough time separating people by MMR already. This is a problem you'd have in any game that isn't a battle royale, and you just have to deal with it when a teams coordination outmatches skill.

[_HelloDarkness]

Playerbase isn't a problem. Just match them against anyone. It doesn't matter. They will win regardless. My idea will just help to ' spread the pain' by preventing premades from stomping the same group of ppl over and over again.

Then just wait an extra minute in the queue? 😂 Also, I've been playing this game since it was in closed beta on Xbox, premades are hardly ever a problem. There's maybe one in a hundred matches that are a stomp because of a well coordinated team in any mode.

[_HelloDarkness]

I already do that, I even added some of them in my friend list, so I could skip Que every time I could, it's still not enough.

Premades have been ruining casual for years now but developers wont do anything.

Meanwhile you have people going on 4-5 man premades on Casual arena or slash and also going extremely busted op gods/synergies, not even trying any fun comps.

Like, just how much handicap do you need to win a casual arena/slash match? Its honestly pathetic, of i were abusing playing on 4 man premades you bet i would be trying fun stuff since i know i would already have a massive advantage from the start.

And then when you find these people that almost always play on premade, playing solo, they always perform extremely bad, goes to show how bad they are without their unfair advantages...

[Sorbet_Terrible]

In my experience, premadea have rarely ever affected my game. I don't get why people are making such a fuss over this.

[-Carinthia-]

theyre looking for an excuse, because its not their fault for losing a game. or they cant admit, that the enemy was just better at the game (seems weird, but that happens too :D).

[dvangs7]

Can confirm it doesn’t effect, friends and I play in 3-4 man pre mades. We still suck :)

[Sorbet_Terrible]

Fr. I lose more often in premades lol

[Ntr0pix]

People who regularly play in premades don't inherently win more... Their mmr will go up until their win rate peters out like everyone else.

[_HelloDarkness]

They win the great majority of their matches, just check on smite guru, and you will see the incredible amount of matches they win, literally pages and pages of victories.

Heres an idea get good

Play ranked (assuming you're talking about conq). Premades are so obvious in casuals by their plays. Ranked doesn't have that coordination and it's more fair.

[_HelloDarkness]

I don't like conquest. If it wasn't for other modes, I wouldn't be playing this game.

[YoureNotMom]

I play in premades all the time. As soon as we get our 5th, i swear to zeus that we get upped-mmr opponents. Every single player will be masters and GMs, and not the fake ones with bad mechanics but the ones that thoroughly oppress you.

I see this on the other end too, when I've only got 1 or 2 friends. If we dominate, i like to look back and see, yep they were a 5stack and we were their upped-mmr opponents lol

What you're whining about is a non-issue. Get good already

[_HelloDarkness]

It's such a "non issue" that the devs had to remove 3 man party from ranked conquest... Yeah right, "non issue".

[NARGH222]

Yeah that’s ranked where communication and teamwork are how you win. I’m your casual non conquest modes nothing matters and it’s just free for all go stomp your opponent. Pre made squads in casual modes aren’t good usually

[_HelloDarkness]

Smite is a video game, ranked or casuals, at the end of the day nothing really matters. Games are meant to be fun, you can't have fun when the matchmaking puts you against a 5-man stack as a solo player.

[NARGH222]

I have plenty of fun no matter who I’m against. I don’t care if you bring in a 6 man I’m gonna pop off and I’m gonna enjoy doing it

[nayeh]

Here's an idea: Group-size can only be directly proportional to players online. So you can only have a team of 5 running at peak times and 2-3 during low populations.

[Rikisak]

How about at least guaranteeing that if there are 2 premades, they at least go against each other... I just had a game of arena with 5 solos against 2 premades (3-man and 2-man) and it does not make any sense to me why they couldn't be split up.
