The Matchmaking Balance Thread
All the newer threads about the matchmaking have been merged here, so why not make this a Matchmaking Balance Thread? I love it when new players join the game, but being placed against a team of exp...

Anybody feel like whenever they join a new heroes vs villains game that they are always matched with complete newbies?
- @Jinderman
Nearly every matchIts actually so depressing. I get grouped with a couple of level 10's against a group of average level 100-150's. This is not a one off occurence but is actually very common.
@JindermanAlso applies to the opposite when I play with my high level premade team mates and all we get matched up against are low levels. Pretty boring to not say the least.
The matchmaking is illegal worthy. #chargethedevs
I don't doubt it one bit that playing against a group who pose no challenge is also rubbish. But more often than not I always get placed with newbies and it is so crap when that happens. My scenario is more demoralising than your scenario I think.
I think the game needs some sort of consideration for the aggregate experience on both sides and the latency of connections for each player too.
Rant over. I just wanna know how often this occurs is all.
Never have I ever...
Seen numbers THIS bad?
Oh, and yes, this is all randoms.

How hard can it be to make the game fairer EA!?!?
Even worse is when people who live their lives through SW Battlefront games totally dominate matches and spoil it for everyone else with their sweat-drenched play and tediously, sometimes suspiciously OP weapons.
Private/invite lobbies online would be a great option so these people can be excluded.
@FearfulWarpII I'm late for the party, but what I typically do(as a player with all heroes & villains at lvl 41+) is just fight 2 of them at once. Gives them a fighting chance and gives me a decent challenge.
@CampletelyCrazyMore importantly, it draws the enemies focus off of your remaining team mates so the main force of your team can destroy the other half of the opponent team before maybe flanking the two guys that are trying to bring you down.
Ah, Napoleon's battle tactics.
Update: This issue is seriously getting out of hand. Too many blowouts!
Yea they should have random players in there own match split evenly
Group players should only play against other groups
- @Jinderman At this point HvV is a chore with these numbers 🙄
Okay this is legit getting ridiculous
Two losses today, the first because of a potato in the team
We just dominated 23-0.
C’mon.
@FearfulWarpIISeems like the game still gets a lot of new players and that's a good thing.
Well, unlike you want more balance in a HvH match.
I mean I'm recently even playing with some of the weaker heroes or those I usually don't play at all and we often still win by a clear ticket difference due to many opponents whose heroes are at lvl 10 or something.
The challenge here is to stay disciplined and keep playing that hero even when some of the newer hero players turn out to only have a low hero lvl but actually have a decent aim.
I am happy with all the new players coming in and saving the game from what would be a slow death, yes, but all I want for
ChristmasLife Day... is balance.To be honest, I’m numb to this matchmaking at this point
I'm a total Beginner at this game and I'm just learning. Is it too much to ask that the noobs be match made with other noobs and not the ranked players like for * sake. I can't learn how to do anything if I'm constantly getting smoked by people who have no life and who I'm way outmatched against.
@OGClippaThere's another rather active thread about this topic: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Rubbish-groupings/m-p/9587034#M18199
You'll see there that no one here thinks that the matchmaking in this game is good.
Man it’s awful, yet somehow they think it’s good for the game apparently. It’s worse than any game I’ve ever played and the extreme low skill gap doesn’t help matters. Now add that to the fact you literally have huge parties on stand by to join their buds for back up if they have issue with the average random
It's always going to be hard if people can make their own team and then fight randoms
HvV is never fun
thanks matchmaking
losijg by 10 again
Loaded up into a match where the only thing I got to see is 4 max stack of Leia,Han,Chewie and a bb8 winning with 35-0 disgusting
- @soapy_catuses Wait someone has a Max BB8??
Respect to them
I doubt this is a “rubbish grouping” but some guy decides to suicide-respawn and thus ruining the game.
Cmon.
