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.

I fully agree with this point. A few days ago I played battlefield 4 again. While playing I realized that many times a team of 32 players only had 10 players playing to the target. While the rest only acted as a "camper" and did not conquer a flag And the other team did not have players with good elimination numbers, but they did have many points since they played to conquer the flags (as a team) .
I think that these players who do nothing unbalance the games much more than the organized squads. Since an organized platoon depends on a team to help them since there are 32 players on the team And a platoon of 5 or 4 players, no matter how organized, if the team does not help them they will lose the game in case the enemy team has majority of players going for the objective in conquest.
( I know that everyone can play as they want, but these players who do nothing could receive a penalty or simply play another game mode that is not conquest) This is already a personal opinion.
