Once again, change matches so BR 1 is 0/0

Just played a match as Japan BR1 and our team got walked over by especially 2 players who fielded mostly squads with PPS-42 and PPS-43.
Needless to say our team, that had no veteran BR2 players as far as I could tell, didn’t stand a chance. Multible players on our team simply quit because they didn’t find it fun to spawn, get sprayed down by assaulters again and again.

If this game is to attact new players and keep them, experiencing an onslaught is not the way. Keep BR1 to itself so people can find out that this game is actually quite fun to play.

  • Yes - give the noobs a chance to learn the ropes
  • No - I like seal clubbing

All or none. Doing it just for BR1 is just going to make seal clubbing worse

I agree. But we keep hearing that Enlisted hasn’t got the playerbase to support BR 0/0 for all BR’s. So my point is that they make it at least for BR1.

this would have happened even if veteran team was BR1 against team full of BR2 newbies. game is full of roflstomps and no ±0 MM will help with that…

Yep, but then it would be skills and not gear that won the battle which, in my opinion, is better.

Nah, i also very rarely play BR1 these days because PPS43 is a BR3 weapon that melts bolt action rifles even at longer ranges.

While at the same time I dont play BR2 and BR3 because KV1 is OP.

So locking BR1 specifically would allow me to have fun with bolt actions again.

there are loads of shit players even on BR5, so i cant tell you that roflstomps are never good, regardless if it was cause of skill or cause of weapons. weapon equality only matters if 2 teams are equal, but considering that most teammates are braindead, ±1MM really doesnt matter. only thing that could help in this case is SBMM, but enlisted doesnt have playerbase for it, neither people want it.

Combating the recent power creep with just one additional BR could help lower the power jumps from BRs in general.

Maybe thats even all we need.

br 1 in particular has powerful event and premium squads so the imbalance is already there between new and veteran players

I am noticing a pattern with each of these frequent suggestion. And yes it’s every month or two.

It’s always, lock the BR system, change the matchmaking.
Yet it always comes down to a simple answer, we don’t have the manpower to introduce such a change.

So why not do it the other way around, if BR II SMG spam or whatever other weapon/vehicle is so hurtful, why not just limit it’s usage when down tiered with BR I players? And you know what, do that for every BR. It might even breathe life into BR IV, who knows.

It does not introduce a restrictive matchmaking but is rather restrictive to abusive playstyles.

“No buddy, you can’t spawn a second or third SMG/vehicle squad in a row in an already favoured match. Go take a boltie and learn to actually aim, dipshit.”

Perhaps think outside the box? Might even lead to more engineers being used and less sealclubbing spammers in lower BRs since they aren’t worth much if they can’t spray their SMGs around willy-nilly.

I really dont like artificial limitations, people should be able to choose from different options- the solution should always be proper balance, and instead of moving PPS43 to BR3, the devs decided to give Allies a BR3 Thompson at BR2 and giving Germany BP and event BR3 SMGs at BR2.

This was a mistake.
