Team Balancing Needed

The more and more I play Battlefield 1 I realize that EA needs to balance the teams. I find it more often that I am against an enemy team that has twice the number of players. There needs to be something to balance both teams to keep it fair. Especially because you don't want to loose the stuff you unlocked or achieved by leaving. The purpose of team balancing is to prevent this problem and I am surprised that this was overlooked.

    Team balance is always an issue in games. They cant find anyway to make it better. They have no solutions.

  • This game is complete *. EA wants one sided matches so the big tank, blimp, or train comes out. I'm tired of the one sided matches. They are no fun on either side. The behemoth don't change the out come off the game but ea keeps pushing unbalanced servers so they always show up. Thinking of giving up on this game. I'm rank 90 with a kd of 1.8 and a winning percent of 42% because of the rotten matchmaking. There's always one teems with 32 players always and if someone drops the other team doesn't get new players until the one side always fills back up.

    Bf4 didn't have this bad of balancing so I doubt they are working on it. If they wanted it fixed they would implement the matchmaking if bf4

  • The thing is, it's an action-reaction kind of situation. First of all, let's clear one thing up: DICE never made a balancer that would balance teams during the round. These balancers were 3rd party plugins.

    Anyway, about actual DICE balancer, which was introduced later in BF4's life cycle... while it reduced the amount of blowouts, it took a lot of criticism for tearing squads apart to balance the teams. I guess that this is the reason why current balancer only moves squads, not individual players. The obvious problem is, it can easily lead to a situation where one team has quite a few extra people when round starts. Balancer also can't do anything about people who left between the moment when map loaded and round start. Are the devs thinking about ways to find the middle option? Yes. Can we expect it in nearest future? Probably not in the next 1-2 updates, as other aspects of the game (like ammunition system) seem to have higher priority now (as you can see on CTE). However, at some point it can happen (especially with the new monthly update approach).
