we know how it works in practice we have played the other cajun brawler games
won’t be much different here, just a different brawler that is now getting gear tiered unnecessarily when the issues are else where
so they chose for worse
this isn’t even a solution to anything that’s the amazing part of this, it just brings new problems and the false perception of it helping anything
but the same issues will persist
you posted on your other thread the roflstomp on moscow maps, and everyone immediately points to the playerbase being unbalanced as the issue, which is correct there
however what those same players won’t mention is that in the populated playerbase campaigns that same thing happens, the exact same thing, I have played all campaigns and not a single campaign that doesn’t happen. And will continue to happen, because this BR update does not address anything to change that. So having more players on both sides won’t reduce that from happening (we already experience it in populated campaign), nor will changing the gear they have access to change it from happening
people arguing against this point will openly admit that it’s ok that stacked premade teams are going up against randoms creating uneven matches, but then spike their flag of balance virtual signal of gear based tiers as being the answer when they also admit that it won’t fix the real matchmaking issues
which as we all know isn’t whether noobs or vets are in the same match, or top end and bottom end gear in the same match, the issue is that if one team has more than the other
and limiting the spread of those tiers won’t stop the other imbalance problems such as one team having 2 pre made squads of 8 guys and the other team having only a 2 man premade squad for example
nor does it account for actual player skill, experience and ability
and even if you did balance properly with all that, people still going to leave matches they don’t like in search of easier farming matches because the core of this game for a lot of people becomes all about xp farming and killing as many bots as possible as efficiently as possible
so there are many different factors involved
maybe you are right, custom matches will be the last hope for this game if this is what the standard mode is going to become, but then the issue there is that it has low popularity and low population and despite having potentially the best gameplay potential, if the majority of players do not recognize it, then it’s just like a lot of old games that had great modes, great maps, but the brain dead masses only populated the worst ones and allowed the game to die
