These are a good first step so thank you very much, and no doubt anything in-game would take time. I think you know by now I am very passionate about grouping up and which to encourage an in-game system such as a clan system.

Also remember while grouping up is great, right now the Competitive matchmaking system still has a priority to pair group stacks together, while this seems like a fair way of doing it in that single match, over the course of how competitive operates, this protocol actually de-incentivizes teamwork at all ranks. In other words its harder to climb as a 6-stack than solo queue, because in solo queue it comes to individual plays and performance (even if Diamond and higher has no individual stat adjustments anymore), while 6-stacks must be extremely coordinated and working together (which they should be but it is not rewarding).

So if anything, if the devs have any new food for thought about how Competitive is doing as far as this goes, the community would love to hear some feedback on it. Cheers! (^^)v
