Premades are not the problem, MATCHING is

I posted this thread in suggestions for devs, but would like more player responses and ideas. Please take a look and support if you like.

Dear Devs,

There have been multiple threads surrounding this issue so I will get straight to it. Some suggestions that I have not seen:

1) Premades should be matched against premades. Groups of over 5 people (for WSG) and groups of over 7 people (for AB) - ie. if more than half of a BG is premade, they should be thrown in a separate queue, where they are queued against players with the same group size.

OR

2) Average ranking. Take the average rank of players that queue and match it with a similar average in the opposing faction.

OR

3) Keep all current mechanics, but introduce PvP Rank Brackets. ie. Rank 1-4 players in 1 queue. Rank 5-10. Rank 11+. This way casuals play with casuals, the hardcore PvPers duke it out with others of similar motivation and skill.

Friggin love this idea.

Who the hell cares if it isn't blizz-like. They fixed the mob respawn timer so why not the OBVIOUS pvp imbalance?

Do this and actually make the damn game better!

You get chills of nostalgia when you get farmed by premades?

You would still rather play in an imperfect system that has flaws just to know that you play the game with the way blizzard made it? Look at blizzard now.

Fix the flaws.

meanwhile we're technically on patch 1.4 have WSG which was 1.5, not to mention various things from 1.8 and we have 1.12 abilities

blizzlike is a crutch term now used by shitters trying to justify a shitty system that's essentially a "pick and choose" model of implimentation

I support this. Atleast the premade vs premade thing, the rest of it seems unneccesary. Having a minimum group size is really nice since then you can still queue with a friend or two if you want.
