Seasonal reminder: Unbalanced matchmaking needs fixing.
This has been happening since season 1. They bricked the matchmaking with season 1. We are in season 4 and still the same. Nothing happened despite them saying in s3 that they are continuously tweaking it. Well whatever they do it does not work. I don't know if it is because of sbmm or not but I'm tired of this. The sbmm does not work as intended it is clear as the sky. I don't mind if there is sbmm or not. I'm all for this but the way it is implemented is not good. It stacks good players to one side and bad players to the other side. It does not split them.
My problem is this: Basically the game puts me to the loser side 99% of the time where the enemy just stomps us. We have no chance to win. No chance to come back. Most of the times half way through the game people leave then the game continues with like 20 vs 32. We are being farmed on 1 objective while every other objective is capped by the enemy.
It is artificially manipulated. Most of the games are not real. They are correcting our win/lose ratio with 1000-0 games and so on. 90% of my games are 0-900 and my win rate is something like 20% not counting the manipulated ones where we get a bot enemy and we win 1000-0. I'm not saying I want 0-1 games every round not at all but maybe I get a close game once out of 10 rounds.
My team mates are like 2/15 kd people every time. Enemy is full of 5-6 kd players. My team mates can't shoot anyone and we are always just being farmed. I don't know why. I'm capturing alone nobody else comes to help. Then suddenly 4-5 enemy spawns to defend their objective and just kill me of course. When enemy takes some of our objectives I'm the only one going there to block it and of course 5 people kill me. Nobody comes with me from my team to help. I feel like I'm playing alone on the server. It is like half my team is afk or 5 year old kids doing nothing. If I don't go to capture an objective nothing is captured. Where are the other 31 people on my team? Why am I being placed with so bad players together in my team while my enemy is literally elite players. Nobody revives in my team. I barely get any revives. I'm on PC if that matters anything.
I'm not a bad player. I capture, I revive I do everything I can to win. I consider myself above average. My overall kd is ruined long ago but I'm usually doing above 2 kd on avg rounds. I have had multiple 4-5+ kd rounds (40-50+ kills) as well but again it is depending on the round. If we have 0-1000 of course I can't do anything because we are rolled like a carpet. I'm an infantry player who ptfo all the time. I'm not inflating my kills with vehicles whatsoever. I know it is not impressive or anything compared to the pros but just to put it this way. I'm not a 2/10 kd tourist. I have played most of the BF games a lot. This game has a truly awful matchmaking which does not work properly. Not balancing sides at all despite having a sbmm built in. If there is an sbmm everyone should be roughly around the same skill level not just the enemy team full of good players while my team mates are awful.
I'm not writing this up to get a confirmation from EA/DICE or anything. They will never confirm nor deny it I just want them to know it is still awful and needs to be fixed.
I talked with a lot of people about this ingame/forum/reddit/discord etc and they often ask why does it matter if we win or not. Seems like nobody understand this and mostly because a lot of people are only farming kd and they only care about kd. Here is why it is a problem if it is awfully balanced. Firstly the game should be played for win and capture not for kd. Secondly if the enemy wins 0-900 that means it is badly balanced. The enemy players are way better than ours. My team mates can't shoot anyone. They can't kill their fair share of players so I have to deal with 4-5 people instead of my portion. Of course I can't kill 5 people at the same time because my team mates are unfit to play the game. As it being said it is not a bad thing of being bad at the game not at all I just don't belong to these teams. I can't win the game alone for them. I can't carry 30 other people alone. I need good players as well to be with me that actually plays the game. This isn't just ruining my fun of the game and my statistics as well.
Maybe it is just my account stuck in some bad loop or something. Maybe I just stuck in a particular k/d rate or something where the system just puts me to the loser team every time for whatever reason. Cannot be sure without seeing how it works. I'm having a dreadful experience. I want this to be fixed. I'm not having any fun and I know there are a lot of people with the same issue. The game is completely awful. I'm not even feeling anything when I win a round anymore because It is just a 1000-0 and I know it is artificial to correct my win/lose ratio. The game became a soulless mess where I'm the other teams punching bag 24/7.
Even today I played like 7 rounds. Basically went 4 games in a row 0-800 but then the system kicked in and put me into a pity win to correct my lose streak. It is so obvoius that it is insane. I won 2 of 7 games from which one of them were a 800-0. In one of the games we could not even do anything. The momet I spawned I was killed by a tank or a helicopter or jumped by like 4 guys. We were camped on our one objective. 15 mins in we had nobody above 10 kills and most of the people in my team were below 1kd. At the same time from the enemy everybody were over 2 digits kill with 2-3 kd at least. How is this balanced? I have screenshots/vod if they want. I'm happy to share my experience.
I want to enjoy the game but the matchmaking is ruining the experience and it is not about me being bad or I want to be carried. Not at all. If my team mates are bad I want my enemies to be bad as well. If my enemy is good I want my team mates to be good as well.
There is no way DICE is not aware of this so it must be intentional. If so they really need to fix it or get rid of it as a whole. HELP.
