I think it's pretty obvious that you aren't going to maintain the 95% win ratio with 8v8 that you can easily have with 4 man premades atm. So thanks for stating the obvious OP.

Btw moon isn't made of cheese.

Yes Timmy. 8v8 premades will result in lower W/L percentages and K/Dr.

Now if I actually cared about either, I suppose this may be a problem. I like good challenging fights, and parity, so for me, this won't be a problem. Losing to a better team is OK, but losing due to PUG insanity is not. (Though dropping with competent, teamworking PUGs is very gratifying)

This is exactly right. Win or lose, should be by our hands only. It shouldn't be because of a factor/decision which is forced on us, or takes the choice away from us.

For myself I took the third choice, not playing until 8v8 is implemented.

I decided to revive this thread based on the recent poll and complaints I'm seeing about 8 v 8 matchups. Told ya so. :P

I wonder if there's any familiar faces in the two threads...
