>>1677422I agree, though admittedly if half the lobby is premade then im not sure how much we can fault a squad of solos or duo + solo for losing to them in a BR in particular (the difference between getting a call "WHOLE TEAM ON ME RUN" and a "enemy here" ping is turning away and living , or getting closer to investigate and instadying. You lose tons of kills when you dont know your teammate cracked someone or need to watch the pings to know what your own team is doing during a fight rather than "PUSHING" "RUNNING AWAY" etc. )
Even more tho i agree with the second part, doing it solo is a world of difference to doing it premade. It's not even about "skill" in itself, but the mental aspect to it. People playing premades can shrug off losses, laugh them off and have fun even when losing, and a ton of it when winning and getting hyped with their buddies. Solo players have to struggle to keep playing when they have no way to blow that stress away, they have to deal with it alone. Milions of players get ladder anxiety and just stop playing, must take breaks once they lose a few games, go full tilt etc. It's hard when it's all on you to win, and you still get bad luck sometimes.
A lot of premade players are premade-only, even if they like the game, because they just cannot handle the stress of playing alone for any extended time, let alone fucking spamming the games like aqua does for whole days. Whatever rank she gets is hard earned and undeniable. It goes beyond the imaginary points and ladders, its about pushing your own mental limits to the very brink and coming out on top. Premade players will not understand
