domination is the norm now

I don't have hard data and people tend to remember the really poor or really good experiences more, but yeah, it feels worst nowadays. I just shut down the game after three consecutive Conquest or Escalation games being completely one-sided. 

I'm really not sure what causes this. Obviously, it would be great if there were some balancing between teams, but it wasn't there before either and completely one-sided matches weren't so prevalent. 

What I do notice however is how difficult it can be to course-correct. Matches go one way and seldom recover. In Escalation, you're more likely to have a 3-1 than a 3-0, but that's just because of the model of that mode, it's not an actual recovery, just maintaining the - ultimately losing - status quo. Conquest easily goes 400 or 500-0. 

Thing is, recovering requires some serious team-play, and I don't see a lot of that. Snipers will continue staying on top of their perch rather than throwing their bodies at objs or changing class, tank drivers will happily continue sniping from HQ, etc. I haven't played a lot of the previous BF titles so I can't say if it were any different back then, but is players weren't acting any better back then, then I'm at a loss as to why matches are more one-sided now.
