Phase 1:
Reduce the maximum # of players in a group to 4. This means when players form a group, they will only be able to add 3 people. When that group launches, they will be put in a bucket. The match maker will then fill the rest of the 8 player team with 4 PUGs or any partial groups that are looking for a match at that moment. The same will happen for the other team. Matches will still be 8v8 but instead of playing against 8 people in an organized premade, you will see a max of 4.

As the wording is ambiguous, I offer a multiple choice for clarification please...
Given the scenario of a 4-man Premade group dropping...
#1: The opposing team is ENSURED to have a 4-man Premade as well. Garunteeing partial pre vs partial pre games.
OR....
#2: Random chance determines the composition of both sides, premades or not... ala the "bucket" analogy mentioned.
I believe the correct answer is #2, but there are quite a few people who believe the answer is #1. Clarification is needed for proper QQing on both sides
