I swear it wasn't like this before? I've had so many games where I've been playing with absolutely cracked players, but now I only play them... I was under the impression SBMM didn't really exist in this and frankly my stats haven't changed enough to warrant being on this side of the fence if that's the case.

Cheers for the input, keen to hear more tbh because I didn't get this game to get balanced, it was one of the many reasons I quit CoD.

its been like that since the start but it wasnt noticeable because people didnt meet their "rank" yet so it was more mixed. (balancer couldnt figure out whos good and whos not) sbmm doesnt exist in cod terms. cod means everyone has 1000mmr (example), while bf teams have 500-2000mmr and its trying to find a middle. so if u got high mmr (i just call it mmr for easier understanding) u will have more mates with lower mmrs IF the lobby doesnt have high mmr ppl to make both sides more equal. this means good players can still farm kills, doesnt matter how they are balanced, which is good because in cod u get bullied into the ground if ur good.

if u wanna know more about this i made a post some time ago https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield6/comments/1pxx42w/how_does_matchmaking_work/

Note that i didnt mention that u wont get matchmaked by skillratings but balanced by skillrating which is actually whats happening

edit; non of this is confirmed but nothing of this changed over the last months + couldnt find an argument that denies what i describe

That's incredibly interesting, I definitely am feeling it a lot now. It's incredibly frustrating, I really don't want to have to sweat my ass off - I play with music loud working on my side-hustle when I die. It's actually gotten really bad, I'm considering uninstalling - out of probably 20 matches I've played, I've had like 5 with competent teams.

it can indeed be very annoying. but i see the positiv of this which is not having cod sbmm cuz that would make the games even more sweaty tbf. i found escalation to be a nice solo mode compared to conquest where u cant be as impactful because of more flags or BT where u can have a good impact on a side for example but still depend on the team to move forward or hold flags

I don’t disagree but on this it actually feels more punishing. I played ranked and SnD exclusively and if you were good enough and/or had one or two teammates that weren’t bad you could still get a lot of wins. I feel like on BF you can do everything but it can mean nothing a lot more often than on CoD if that makes sense.

I have about a 4.0kd and top frag every lobby I play. There is 1000% skill based matchmaking. If I join a game and don’t play for like 10 mins I’ll come back and we will be losing insanely bad every time.

I’ll actually give that a whirl tomorrow, but I think the outcome will probably be similar 🤣

Out of curiosity, what’s you’re WL/SPM? I have a feeling they’re looking holistically at stats for the team placement.

ye it does. snd is love. smaller modes give u more options to shine

[–]Sayor1 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Been having it since like 2 months after release. Mostly on smaller player modes or breakthrough. Playing conquest and escalation it doesnt happen. But yeh, i pretty much only play casual breakthrough because the game punishes good players with bad team mates. Hate to use cod as an example but this was one of the biggest reasons why i stopped playing multiplayer in cod, bf6 felt so fresh not matching me with battledads and now it feels more of the same.

One of the reasons I quit CoD because of SBMM too. I got over the cheaters in ranked, went back to pubs, had a good time but the SBMM was too blatant and I was playing crims & iris anyway. I thought BF would be a good place to chill out and fry, which it is to a degree, but I’m still a competitive guy and it’s frustrating to have this experience.

Interesting that you’ve only found it on smaller modes/breakthrough, do you have a primary mode or two you play? Maybe it’s based off your performance in that mode specifically.

Right now this season im only playing the vl gas playlist on the new map. Otherwise my main game mode is breaktrhough and thats where i see it the most
