There needs to be changes to how the game fills your teammates.

It is actually unreal how lost my teammates are constantly. I have routine games that end with both my teammates doing under 100 damage while being well in to the 300-400-500 levels of the game. Th...

@Verinetin Some of that stuff is factored in but what I've come to realize is placement, specifically top 5 has a pretty high weighting to the sbmm. You can do nothing game after game damage and kill wise but if you finish top 5 you'll get bumped upwards. So you then have people that don't engage getting dropped into aggressive lobbies where they are severely overrated. It's a big issue I see.

@hayhor That actually makes sense because the reverse of that is how people get bot lobbies right? They just que up a game, and leave before it starts, effectively telling the SBMM system that they "lost", even though they didnt?

  @Verinetin They fly off the map over and over from the ship to register deaths. Definately a thing people do.

    @hayhor This does not work in this season.
    Killing Yourself does not lower the lobby-skill after some point (after few such deaths).
    The issue here is that You will still get teammates that just have no clue.
    They loot for minutes, still at white armor when there are only 6 squads left, do not react to pings about better items/armors/ammo etc, and they die during first encounter.
    That's why I am not playing this game this season. I have played 80 games this season, won 3 games.
    Had to win 3v1 in one game, 3v2 in second and 1v1v1 in the third... and about 90% of all games we lost the very FIRST encounter... no matter the enemy's armors...
    What I am trying to say is that the MM assumes that You will carry your teammates EVERY single game... always.
    BTW I am playing LOBA - a support character, so I should at least get some assault character, right? Right? WRONG!
    I am constantly being matched with other support characters with the lowest pick-rates ever... So I had enough.
    I won't touch this game in this season.
