Engagement Optimization Matchmaking

The cat is out of the bag on the methods that EA is using to construct our matchmaking; several different popular youtubers have posted this week about EOMM.

So what is the consensus on the this forum thus far? I don’t really like the idea that the publisher is actively trying to manipulate my emotions in an attempt to get me to play more/spend more. I totally get that companies need to make money, but I feel like ramping up/down the difficulty in an activity that’s PvP is sort of wrong. 

Man I miss the online scene a decade ago, where everything wasn’t micro-transactions and loot boxes.

    What I`ve recently noticed is a immense increase of very good prestack teams (quite often preds) in solo queue public lobbys. It leads to a obnoxious unfair gameplay!

    I know this post is hella old. But something happened to me that made me look this topic up. I was completely dominating in this match of duos, but it was empy feeling because EVERYONE felt like a bot, including my teammate. I was doing dumb stuff, expecting to lose and I just kept getting knocks. Like no joke, when I say bot, I mean it. My teammate would literally go to every exact ping that I made and wait. When I pinged enemies, he would run and shoot. I wish I had the playback footage. It was wacky. And I had just come off of a full day of losses because i was playing with my lower ranked brother the day before. I'm level caped and he's like 80, was trying to get him into the game.
