So our opponents were queueing as individuals and were highly skilled. So their “party Elo” was genuinely 2k. Parties would be selected to take place in a match (2v2 / 3v3 / 4v4) of similar party Elos. We would either get paired with another couple 2k players against a full team of 2k (4v4 match) or in the worst case a 2v2 against 2k players. In the 2v2 case, because of the Elo difference the opposing side was expected to win >99.99% of the time.
