I would like a system where platoons/clans couldn't join 'casual servers'. The system could be very simple, platoon emblems and tags are not shown on casual servers.
It would probably be abused anyway, but casual servers could have random player-scrambling between rounds and no team-switch (like many RSP-servers in BF4).
This would of course require a healthy player-count, otherwise it could be a problem filling servers.

@cso7777I agree 100%. Clans are a pain in the b… in BF1.
Whenever 3 or 4 (sometimes more) guys from certain clans join the server I’m playing on, it’s always the same: Balance goes completely out the window and the team with the clan players is soon steamrolling the other team.
Battlefield is a team game though. I am against anything in this series that splits team players or platoons apart in matches. I am also sick of solo players constantly making excuses for why they don't want to be better team players in random matches. Platoons should be allowed to play with as many members as they want on the same team. Maybe if the solo players weren't so busy camping and playing selfishly ignoring the objectives and pretending like the score doesn't matter, then they wouldn't be getting steam rolled.
@Skill4Reel Balanced needs to be done before the round starts not at the end of a round. Switching to be with platoon just makes it worse.
It seems a few of us are sick of platoon players abuse.
1) these are public servers for all, not platoon training (more like trolling) grounds.
2) you just blamed solo for playing different. OMG your using 3rd party comms to bully others trying to have fun and their to blame.
Trying to keeping platoons has been part of the biggest imbalance in the game. DICE used a squad swap balance at end of round just kept the imbalance. Because squad 1 and squad 2 end the rounds usually as 1st and 3rd, while squad A finished 2nd staying on the opposite team.
I have heard the same excuse for years platoon are just friends want to play on the same team. It is solo players fault they lose because they don't work as a team which is a load of steamy rubbish.
DICE you are to blame, for years you listen to these so called platoons (removed commander,spot....) and made comms more 3rd party popular, this is way solo players don't work as a team because there is NO easy to use in game communication.
No one has stop platoons from playing together but platoon player instead blame others, whinge about unfairness and think they are the only ones that want fun.
@DingoKillrI hate to say it, but this all really sounds like you hate playing against a coordinated team and prefer playing solo most of the time.
Playing solo is fine of course, but from the beginning, Battlefield has encouraged team-play. In most games, as well as any real endeavor, well coordinated teams can accomplish more, and more quickly, than any individual.
I think keeping teams together is perfectly fine and preferable even. I would not want my group of friends, whether we are successful in-game or not, immediately broken up because the team balancer cannot match us against other teams easily. I would even wait longer for a match in that case, rather than be broken up.
As for 3rd party comms, that is what it is. Some people will prefer Discord to in-game VOIP. EA DICE is extremely limited on what they can do about that.
