As it currently is we are able to queue with 2 other people in ranked match
I figure the idea might be to be able to compete with friends but as we will eventually have money on the line this is literally asking for win trading chaos

I think even if this feature is removed, the possibility of joining the queue at the same time and ending up in the same lobby remains high. So, this is just a good way to turn this "exploit" into a "feature", as the exploit is not fixable I think.
I'd be definitely in favor of reducing it to allow only one friend to be invited, similar to how it works in TFT.
Removing this feature doesn’t eliminate win-trading. Win-trading is a common issue in all competitive games, and it’s not difficult for the developers to detect. If someone engages in it excessively, I assume they’ll be banned quickly. The risk-to-reward ratio is very poor, in my opinion.

Should be removed.

I have no friends so i don't use it
But yeah, it is heavily exploitable
One could just hold onto units the other one wants to build

Of course people can still exploit win trading, especially with the current low playerbase but thats not a reason to incentivize it by making it super ez
It doesnt make sense to me to compare to TFT as we will have money on the line here

After reconsidering, I can definitely see the point that if this feature is removed, it will be difficult to win-trade effectively for a long time, as long as matches are based on rating. Mostly, I was coming from a perspective of wanting to preserve any kind of multiplayer experience, as we have so few. Also TFT players joining the space might miss it.
That being said, I haven’t used this feature in TFT once in the past five years, and I wouldn’t want to queue up with my friend just to beat them anyway.
