Btw. when I speak of clan stacking, it’s multiple clans stacking together on the same team.
For example if we have a match where 2-3 different clans, all with very good players, deliberately switch to the same team, it’s clear they’d rather be on the same side and have an easy game instead of having a more tough match fighting each other on seperate teams.
A whole clan stacking together on the same team is also problematic because, again, it creates an easy match for the clan members. I do understand the fun in playing together as a clan, it just typically ruins the match for the opponent team.
Saying “people should just learn how to play together” is fine on paper, but everyone who’s tried Battlefield knows it’s not so easy making randoms cooperate and play well together.

What a clans for if not to do that? I started with BF2 with the =IMPI= clan and have not been in a clan since, we lost our server with BF3 and it all fell away, so I've had a few years joining in on my own or with a few mates here and there. But, to be honest, if I got an invite to join a clan for B2042 I'd take their arm off. You will never know the teamwork and fun that BF has to offer until you do. I really miss it.
it's not toxic, just the devs need to balance things better. It's rare for me to play on a real clan stacked server (3 or 4 full squads) so i think its a small problem. On those very rare occasions i just swap server if things are the same on the next map.
Yes this is the exact issue and I am seeing it nearly all the time I’m playing… Organised clans are grouping together on one team ONLY TO MAKE IT A EASY WIN for themselves … The balance is the key issue but the deliberate stacking is akin to stat padding which is banned in many other games .. These clans are just farming stats and kd

There's a clue there isn't there? If you see it all the time there is a fair chance that this is how the game should be played?

This is my dream for this series. An area in the game where clans are stacked on both teams so that I can always go there and participate in great matches. Also playing with a squad where we all are trying to win and realizing that the other squads on the team by how they are playing don't seem to share the same enthusiasm for achieving this goal is extremely frustrating, and is also one of the worst things about multiplayer in Battlefield. So I understand why clans stack teams.
