It really hurts seeing randoms in my squad, when me and my 2 mates or all Top 5 on the scoreboard, but the random is doing his own thing instead of just playing with us.
Thank you for saying this. Every single Battlefield game gets the same complaints about team balance, but it seems like very few people want to talk about how player attitudes and behavior during matches is one of the main reasons why games are one sided. The only thing stopping solo players from being good teammates even with no verbal communication is that they don't want to do it. All of the tools are in the game to give and execute orders while sticking with a squad without saying a word.
Breaking up platoons in matches is wrong. What the devs should be doing is encouraging solo players to do better against platoons by placing bounties on their heads. If a team with 8 or more players in the same platoon lose. The other team gets big rewards for defeating them. There is so much that should be done to improve the platoon system in this game. Only breaking up platoons for the sake of team balance discourages coordinated play and team work. I can't accept that.
@Skill4ReelBtw. I love good squad play and always look for that when I join a server.
DICE has tried to encourage team and squad play for years however and it’s not really helped much.
Apparently many people simply want to play the way they want to without having to bother coordinating as a squad.
