There is nothing worse than constanantly being put in a squad of low ranked players that have absolutely no clue how to play this game.
Please for the love of everything holy, just put the higher ranked players in a squad together. At least that way the probability of having a decent experience is higher.
Key word - probability. I know rank isn't everything.
or have friends, that worked for me
I either change squad, or if I see clueless people in my squad I kick them. But I tend to be a bit more lenient towards low ranked players doing stupid stuff as when I have an S-tier player in my squad doing the same.
I don't mind having one or two low ranked players in my squad, we've all been there ourselves at some point. And usually I try to teach by example; Revive them, resupply them or I put messages in the textchat for the squad asking for enemy pings or support to capture objectives.
It's all relative (ranks). Anyhoo, I like noobs so much I always let them go through the doorway first.

Radioactive, room-clearing answer: SBMM.
SBMM is basicaly cancer to a game like this, nobody want to wait a half an hour for a match
How is it cancer for this game? I see so many people complain about it, but the majority of people don't seem to understand how it works, nor it's purpose.
SBMM simply takes all the different players that have entered a match, and make sure the teams are somewhat balanced. That's all it does. One sided matches are incredibly boring, on either the winning or losing side. I want matches to be somewhat close.
SBMM is essential for online multiplayer games. So it's not a matter if it should be in the game or not, but rather how it's tuned. Like all things in games, it's a balancing act.
That's not how it works though. SBMM more than likely exists in some capacity in the game to at least try and balance teams and get things sorted quickly. It just wouldnt be super duper strict to avoid having to lump every good player into a 64-128 person lobby. In BF it'd just keep teams relatively even and after matches take the data and allow team shuffles.
Thing is with how reliant the game is on everyone doing their part (as all team based games ultimately are) you cant just have a single guy hard carry the game so even good players are ultimately at the whim of the team.
I wish SBMM would work where it was actually team balance.
If I have a squadmate they has zero idea what they are doing I boot them as well.
You're missing the point there.
Chris_Hawkner and RaginSam highlighted its purpose and implementation better than I would.
(And it's not like waiting half an hour for a match is infrequent these days...)
