Balancing ranks in teams

Can the issue of team balance please be adressed?
9/10 games one side steamrolls the other because the level of the unist is completely out of whack.
One side with high tier weapons, units, paratroopers and tanks and the other without som much as even a single engineer team to plant some spawn points.
IMO it’s an easy fix with matchmaking spreading the ranks out over both teams.
The game is really NOT fun to play anymore.
I’ve been on both sides, winning and losing, and neither is fun to play if the teams are so unbalanced.
You either have nothing to do and are trudging along the map trying to desperately keep up with the progress, or you can’t even get out of the spaw because the other team completely dominates the map. This also prompts players to accuse the enemy team of cheating, while in fact they’re just using the most of their superiority.

In lastgame for example, even though the enemy had fewer players, they were completely dominating the map. Due to their better gear and soldiers, they just had more stopping power and durability, more mobility and better initiative on account of paratroopers deployment. It really was no fun.

I remember having a match like this but yeah I agree with you OP.

One of the things the merge cannot fix anyway. I did suggest to rework or remove the ranking system as it only encourages high ranking players to stack a faction in a campaign.

With the merge the matchmaking will work with battle ratings, so both sides will fight each other with similar equipment.

That is good news
any ETA on that?

We have yet to see which battle rating ranges are going to be meta for certain factions anyway but prediction is going to be top tier Germany being meta so its going to attract lots of sweatlords there.

They just got done with a 4 day test of a transfer to the new system and they found some bugs that need to be fixed. From what I’ve seen there is no ETA but they have announced it will be in the next major update.

New battle pass started which is 90 days long, hopefully it won’t take that long but the overall communication on it is pretty vague.

We dont have a date.
I wouldnt expect the update this year though.
