How many times have you entered a match only to land on a team obviously filled with bots, newbies, purely console players (or majority) and you seem like the only one who has the IQ to play the game? OR on the flipside, you land on a team full of marshal ranked players playing off a team full of the prior mentioned and just steam roll through the match in 5-10 minutes with no competition? Great for unchallenged kill streaks but pretty boring right?
The devs really need to work on the match making system and ensuring teams are BALANCED so the gameplay can be both challenging and fair - not just purely a one sided whitewash for one team and a sh*tshow for the other.
Suggestions;
Limit the amount of marshal ranked players on each team (in most cases marshal ranked players are typically good but yes there are some who have just piggy backed on winning teams to work their way up the ranks no doubt)
Limit or balance the number of console to pc players or balance the ratio (the number of times I’ve entered a team and it’s full of 15 console players and just 2 pc players playing off against a team full of pc players, who are also marshal ranked to top it off - no offense to console players but when put up against a team of pc players, there’s no hope)
Place equally ‘skilled’ players into matches (not sure how to regulate this but perhaps take the K:D ratio of each player and put them into teams based on that, not just based on ranking since as mentioned before there are ‘sht’ players who have simply piggy backed off winning teams and now find themselves at the marshal level yet are still quite frankly 'sht’)
A lot of the matches have just been boring as there’s no competition or if you’re on the crap end of the stick team then it’s just frustrating and annoying where you end up being the only hope for the team but you’re up against 17 ‘good’ players’ compared to the bots, newbies or dead beats on your team.
Thoughts, surely I cannot be the only one thinking this?
rank is really not a good indicator of skill, most marshall players are really bad-average.
there does need to be even numbers of skilled & unskilled players across both teams. unfortunately Darkflow’s separate campaign design has fragmented the playerbase so badly that there are not enough players on both factions in most campaigns.
Darkflow will need to merge the campaigns first before they can attempt any kind of skill balanced team matchmaking.
Really these two kind of just suck for matchmaking, it could easily cause possibly WORSE matchmaking than we have now.
Now this is better, this is the way pretty much all matchmaking could go, actual skill based matchmaking, could also possibly go off a stat of engineer points, point captures / kills on points along with K/D. (Not like Apex Legends sbmm that’s oh you got 5 kills, so did this absolute sweat that’s played since day 1 that had an off match)
That’s what I’m saying!
Some battles don’t care to play them. I just leave. Then the next person entering that battle will get an already started battle and that is no fun at all.
