Disallow level progression reset.

I have just finished a round. We were dominated big time. With the help of chat gpt I calculated average level of both teams. Our team came to 78 and the other team 140. This is massive difference. Is there no auto balancer? I know that the level can mean nothing but overall I'd say this is a deciding factor. There are players who reseted their level and come on top but I wonder how balancer works, what is taken into account? 

  • Hi Piotr83PL,

    BFV does have an auto-balancer, and if memory serves, it works between rounds (N.B. I may be wrong here. There were some changes to the system during the life of BFV, and I can't remember exactly where it ended up before I stopped playing BFV). There also isn't SBMM, so some matches can become unbalanced. But at least DICE mostly removed team-switching so people can't manually join the side who are winning or has more high-level players. 

    The players you mention are most likely using "smurf" accounts (I've got one that I use for testing things, but not for playing matches), where they create a new account so they can progress again or unlock things and so on. Level isn't everything, though, and someone high level isn't necessarily going to be better than someone newer who is lower level but skilled at FPS games.

  • Hello Piotr83PL​,

    There is no way for a player to reset their stats in Battlefield V, not even with assistance from EA Support.
