The skill base matchmaking is complete garbage in this game. I have played 16 consecutive matches and lost every single one of them. It’s not fun to get **bleep** **bleep** after paying $70 for a game me and my friend just started playing last week was having a good time and then all of a sudden it’s unplayable on fun and a waste of $70. Something needs to be done with the matchmaking because obviously somethings not working right
There is no team balancing.
There seems to be an algorithm in place that has one team steamrolling the other team, because it happens 90%+ of the time.
Hard agree Dethstyle. Your team is either steamrolling or getting steamrolled. I've played over 150 matches at this point, and I can only recall maybe 3 matches where it felt like a close game. The result of most matches seems to be determined in the first 5 minutes.
Games are matched as follows
Matchmaking puts ping/region and getting you into a game fast ahead of strict skill brackets, with skill only a secondary factor (and used more for team balancing than hard filtering)
I thought there was team matchmaking. I stand corrected.
That does explain why almost every game one side stomps the other. It's not fun, I know that much.
There is no team balancer.
Every game is a one sided blowout. 2042, as bad as it was, actually had great team balancing.
For some reason BF6 doesn't have any, and it's a miserable experience. If you are the winning side, it's boring, and if you're losing, you're getting spawn trapped and it's a terrible experience.
They really need to fix this and add some proper team balancing. I will not play this game in the current state because it's so awful to have lopsided games 99% of the time. It's just not fun.
There is no SBMM in Battlefield, but I do agree that the majority of matches are heavily lopsided. Doesn’t matter what game mode you play, either your team steamrolls the other or you get your cheeks clapped. There is no in-between.
there is no SBMM in the game there is a team-balancer but nothing dividing players based on "skill" because god knows this franchise will die if that ever happens
It's definitely not right, but it is what EA intended. They are attempting to match teams, not individuals. Add the cheaters on top of that, if you're a mid-skilled or lower player you'll be getting farmed most games. At launch they had full progression and bots in Portal, you could play with your friends there to avoid all that. They quickly removed that.
