In the first weeks, when Zeox implemented the 3s solo queue he setted the ilvl requirement to 530+ if I am not mistaken because we had many complaints that players were in the same team with noobs. Although, the truth was that both teams that there were playing had inexperienced players in their group since the ilvl requirement was the same for everyone so their argument wasn't valid in the first place. At least, this was a fact in most of the games.
Weeks later, players continued to complain but this time for a different reason. They stated that no one was queuing for 3s solo since we increased the ilvl requirement and then we were forced to set minimum ilvl requirement back to 520+.
Conclusion, community have to decide what they prefer more. They prefer to have decent mates in their team but get queue after 10-15 mins or probably be in a group with inexperienced and low geared players but get queue within few minutes.
Both sides have their points but only one can be real.
