I cannot enjoy Battlefield 6 any longer due to unbalanced teams.

I was playing breakthrough last night and had matches where one team was nearly all real players and the opposing team was THREE real players.  Everything else was bots.

You can't tell me the MM isn't completely broken.  Since this game was vibe coded, they can't even figure out how to fix it.  

The game needs an autobalance AFTER it does matchmaking.  So the server should fill, THEN it decides who is on which team, then it starts.

LOL. Just uninstalled it. I couldn`t stand this **bleep** anymore. Back to some fun games.

Frankly, I doubt that. It is more likely that the sum of design decisions that have led to this iteration have resulted in the unbalance.

I know it's been less true with the recent designs, but for example look at how many maps have a tower or a mountain overlooking a large swath of the battlefield. I don't mind 3D spotting, I think it's a great mechanic to foster collaboration, but when one guy can overlook so much terrain, and if they're recon they will auto spot just by roughly aiming at you, one guy is telling they're entire team who's coming and from where. 

Same thing for the gunplay. The laser guns are really bad for Battlefield, and they're still laser guns for the most part even after the recent changes. And that means everybody gets to take a shot at you under 100m. I used to see people in the distance in BF4 Golmud and neither would shoot because there wouldn't be a point. In BF6, you see someone, you're fighting for your life. Which is a problem when you're having to rush to try to catch up.

These are just a couple of data points, but there are more. And I just think that those changes, all put together, contribute to comebacks being rarer.

I agree we should have some kind of comeback mechanic we used to have but lets be realistic its unlikely to happen.

There is a comeback mechanic already and it's pretty horrible, it just creates feel-bad moments.

the sbmm is ruining the matchmaking and not balancing sides properly.

As far as we know, there is no or very little SBMM implemented at the moment. DICE has stated there was a little something beyond ping when creating lobbies, and that's all the info we ever got. Considering the focus has been invariably on getting players into matches as fast as possible, I doubt that "little something" amounts to anything these days. 

I agree we should have some kind of comeback mechanic we used to have but lets be realistic its unlikely to happen. We have had it previous BF titles and it has added another level of play. However introducing measures like the train and airship etc or modern day versions of them halfway through a games maturity is probably unlikely. Perhaps its possible for new maps.

the sbmm is ruining the matchmaking and not balancing sides properly. The other issue is the ticket bleed. You know that originally the game had  1000 tickets then they buffed to 1200. Ever since the 0-1000 games started being a thing. No other battlefield had this. They wanted to make rounds shorter so they increased ticket bleed and now it is just not good.

I've found that matchmaking is the broader issue, with team balance being sat underneath that banner. 

I was watching footage from my days on BF1 and V recently to try and remind myself how long matches went on for, and how they felt in terms of balance. The majority I did record back in the day seemed to go on for an average of 20 mins. There was little to no stomping at all. 

Im genuinely starting to think that they purposefully made it a stomp fest on BF6, by design, to try and mimic cod. It's a real shame, as it wastes xp boosters, makes modes vastly unenjoyable, and feels like we're not gaining anything from the match. Challenges end up laying incomplete too, purely for that reason. 

Like I said, I was always able to find fun in the other titles, but being spotted 24/7 in this one just makes it tedious to do those fun shenanigans like in previous titles.

I’m insinuating that there is some sort of matchmaking behind the scenes that creates stomping grounds every game.

I definitely don’t want skill based matchmaking in the game, as I never had a problem with team balance in any other title.

You are aware that the team specifically stated numerous times they are aware matchmaking isn't working as intended?

Yeah, but were they talking about balance, or the way the lobby fill or fail to? Unless I missed something, it’s never been clear. For example, when they removed the smaller mode, they said it was “to improve matchmaking”: obviously that had nothing to do with balance.

And they’ve also been very cagey about how matchmaking works. They kind of implied there was something beyond ping, but it’s never been clear either.

I think it can be argued they never communicated clearly about balance at any point, despite it being a complaint since season 1. I know some players argue it’s always like this in BFs, and maybe I have rose tinted glasses on, but I don’t remember conquest matches being such systematic stomps in BF4. Whatever it is, it’s long past time for them to start acknowledging the issue and then addressing it.
