With tonnage limits, the 4 victor group won't exist anymore. That's the whole point.

Ahh.. I misinterpreted your statement.

When you said "Far better than 4 victors" you meant better for the game, rather than a more efficient lance. In that case, I agree.

Tonnage limits only apply to the group. If you have 4 people solo queuing in your drop, they can all run Atlases and the matchmaker would be fine with it.

eewwwwwwwww

That's just lazy implementation. Since we're getting lobbies, I'd think you'd let the groups figure out fixed tonnage and give the rest of the solos bids.

Though if you can just sit in a lobby game after game, you become a 12 man after the first game? Is that how it will work?

Not everyone wants to drop in a 12 man, even one generated in a lobby. If you're doing 12 man drops, you can set up any number of rules (if the drop leader has premium time), such as weight limits, match times, match mode, map, etc.

If you're just in a 6 man group, you just drop into the public queue with everyone else, except your group has a weight limit.

Plus, if you want to run an Atlas, then you'll be able to do so without any issues. Otherwise you're stuck based on what the rest of the drop wants to do.

Ah, options make me feel better.
