I do however question the team shuffle in qualify. While it is absolutely necessary in ranked to prevent pubstomping and team stacking, I think shuffling the teams in qualify is counterproductive. First since the qualify shuffle is just random, it's just as likely to create a stacked team anyway. I see no reason why friends shouldn't be allowed on the same team in qualify since the games aren't ranked anyway.
but beta is not always available and there are no players who join betagames. And in qualify are too bad players who cant handle greater teams if they arent shuffled.
Imo the elo system doesnt work so good. I dont play many rankedgames jet but i won the most 1on1 games (sidelane) versus dami or paxi
DI think, the btanks community is nice enought to not abuse the !group command and if someone make a group, the hostbot give the enemyteam the higher elo player.
Its the same if you play a shooter like MW and you come in a public lobby versus a clan. They win because they are the better teamplayers, but if your team is good enough you can beat them without clan or groups.
Groups dont mean they will win!
