Can We Sort the Balancing?
Like the title says, this game is horrifically unbalanced when it comes to teams. 90% of the time, and that is not an exaggeration, I'm being lumped into a team that barely knows how to function. The...

Sorry bubba, but that is just the nature of pub gaming.
It was the biggest reason I got into clan/platoon gaming and paying for our servers with previous Battlefield titles. I knew a large part of my team would be on the same page and could communicate with one another via TeamSpeak or Discord and it was a ton of fun joking and laughing about stupid stuff or harassing the hell out of each other.
I don't know how you expect EA/Dice to distribute "skilled" players to "even" the teams other than SBMM and that's a hard NO for me personally.
Best you can do with the way EA/Dice has opted to use MM in this title is try and find a handful of friends to play with, squad up, create a "party" in-game and jump on Discord or TeamSpeak together, even if ya don't win all the time it's still a lot more fun than running solo.
@Ironhead841 Except this wasn't nearly as bad an issue in previous titles. In this game it is utterly atrocious teamplay, and basically, one team has a collective IQ lower than my ping. I would legitimately prefer to have bots on my team, because they would at least do more than sit back and toss grenades.
I don't know what to tell ya brother, how EXACTLY would you like EA/Dice to "fix it"?
I've been playing Battlefield since the original BF1942, and I can assure you public servers with random players have ALWAYS been like that, ALWAYS.
As I said that is the primary reason I opted for joining a platoon or clan and happily contributing to paying for our own server and administrating it.
Unfortunately, EA/Dice in their infinite wisdom, have opted to remove this option for whatever reason so we are all consigned to random pubs playing on public servers and all the negative effects that come from that.
It's not just you, trust me. For better or worse, we're all stuck with same experience.
@Ironhead841 They can turn off crossplay, for one. PC vs PC is night and day experience compared with crossplay. Consoles drag the entire server performance down and make just trying to hit 20 kills an absolute slogging chore, whereas PC only I can easily go 35-40 average in a match. The game also needs an actual anti-cheat, not something pretending to be one that does absolutely nothing to the blatant cheaters in this game.

As one who's been a moderator since BF3 I can with certainty say that everything you say was also complained about on the Battlelog forums, here on AHQ, and even on the post Battlelog Battlefield forums. People always complained about team balancing, team mates not reviving (and simultaneously complaining about rambo reviving them into insta death for points) and spawn traps, in fact these complaints became even more vehement during BF1 and BFV time frames but at least during those times we could team switch to assist with the problem.
Just a reminder after reading the entire thread, debate the OP's topic and keep personal back and forth out of the discussion or the thread will be locked.
