For the most part, I am usually around 50% w/l with the Allies no matter what level I choose. That being said, I have a zero win/loss record when it comes to playing my level 3 Allies vs level 5 Japanese, so my policy is once I see a level 5 weapon scrolling down the kill stat, I instantly desert. Let the Japanese faction pad stat on BOTS, not me.
BTW, in my 1,850 plus games playing as Allies, I have a 54.8% win percentage, which is the lowest of every faction I play. Germans 72% in around 1,650 games, Japanese 71% in 125 games and Soviets 63% in 525 games.
Do not let “good” players self-select away from a faction? Once a faction enters this spiral it’s very hard to recover it. People who could push back just leave and it’s only completely non-sentient people who remain and increasingly get stomped. And the worse the stomping gets the more the players leave the faction
We’ve been through this cycle so many fucking times already, can we just stop this nonsense already?
Sure, it was complete disgrace right before merge…but we are kinda nearing same bad spot it feels.
Recently random faction puts me on like 80% Germany only, its either fucking conquest or defence, the games are dogshit, the teams I get are dogshit (like, I’ve never seen so many occasions of a team…timing out with 300 tickets remaining) No one plays objective, barely anyone builds rally points, enemy teams just walk into the objective unopposed and win for free
well tbh they should just give token to redeem event squad according to our preferred nationality than forcing progression just to unlock your desired squad and include all 4 nations in every event. That way people can spread according to their mains
problem it’s not gear, it’s hands, they playerbase itself,japs don’t have lot of players,but the few they have count as 2 american because they are crazy devoted to the faction
I would remove ability to even create “unpopular” factions. You can strongly suggest which faction you want to play…but at the end of the day if there aren’t enough opponents to make it work then yeah, people should just be put on a different faction (possibly with extra bonuses/transferrable xp)
Making sure the matchmaker actually tries to match people instead of just constantly making lopsided teams would go a long way.
I would definitely take away the ability to select specific factions if you are in a 3 or 4 stack.
Stacks should generally play against other stacks, even if it makes the queue time longer for them a bit. (I’ve recently been playing where two stacks queue snipe each other and the game is so much better that way it’s not even funny) Sadly it often still comes down to matches where its 3stack vs 3stack…but one team has a few sentient players and the other has people who get less kills than squad wipes
Anytime we get a properly balanced match most of the game problems become nothing but small nitpicks and it’s just goddamn amazing experience, the best combined arms FPS out there.
Have terrible match balance and its soul destroying. You either can’t do anything because you’re getting farmed or you’re sitting on the edge of enemy grayzone waiting for them to actually show up to be executed…or even worse, waiting for the match to time out because they aren’t using any damn tickets
according to what your profile pic says, list you as a beta tester. Well if you lose 70% of the time doesn’t that make you a low skilled player according to your logic.
