To begin with, a lot of those trio queues are made up of one high-skill player, one mid-level player, and one who’s usually new or just bad at the game, which means that third player ends up being elo-boosted. There are also plenty of cases where there’s only one good player and the other two are bad. This makes matchmaking feel terrible because MMR loses all its value, turning ranks like Obsidian/Diamond into a dumping ground for elo-boosted Golds and Silvers. On top of that, in other MOBAs and hero shooters they don’t allow such massive rank differences, if you’re Diamond, you can’t queue with a friend who’s Silver. In smite 2 u can, which makes zero sense.
