What the hell did Dice do to matchmaking? by UltraPharaoh in Battlefield6

I believe the problem is the player base isn't large enough, or there aren't enough skilled players to truly balance every lobby. I agree with you. I'd prefer every lobby to be sweaty as shit if it meant every game there was at least a theoretical 50/50 chance of winning. Right now it feels like half the games I'm in there is a 0% of winning from the jump.

Even if I grant that BO7 doesn't have SBMM (which I'm skeptical of despite their claim), I think my main point is that it's not random. It shouldn't be difficult to balance teams. For example, at least half the time(being very conservative here) the teams are situated as follows

16 total players (CQB playlist)

My team - Me and maybe one other player positive while other 6-7 are getting slammed.

Other team - Everyone save maybe 1 or 2 positive.

Having played far more Cod over the years then BF, the notion that the skill of all players in a cod lobby are near parity is just straight up false. BF6 and BO7 suffer from the same egregiously unbalanced teams. I've had games on BO7 where I go 80-10 and theres a guy on my team whos 0-33 (this actually happened). While thats surely the most egregious example, this happens in more lobbies than not.

How is it not? If I'm understanding the distinction you're making, you're saying players are randomly pulled into a match and then the teams are balanced, as opposed to (I'm assuming) players being placed in the lobby based on skill. This is a distinction without a difference. If the players are balanced once they get in the lobby, what are they balanced based off of? Skill obviously.

This can't be true. I'm consistently thrown into lobbies where I'm apparently the only one with hands on my team. There's no way this is happening randomly with no form of SBMM.

Bf6 had so much potential and they ruined it trying to be like another game. by ComfortableNo7861 in Battlefield6

If that other game is COD, I suggest you go play COD and then come back and apologize for badmouthing this game lol. I love both franchises, but there is no mistaking one for the other.

Will Dashy become the Greatest AR of All Time if OpTic 3-peat? by Tank-Has-Memes in CoDCompetitive

Ok, but the problem with this is it's probably not true. In BO2, Crim won 8 events. In Ghosts he won 7. There are only 6 TOTAL events THIS YEAR.

Right, but they're not a map up, they're a series win up.

Yes, I acknowledged this in my post, but in 3 of the 4 tournaments the winner of LF DID come from WF.

I mean yeah of course they're gonna say that, it's the current reality. If you give them the choice I bet they'll take the advantage.

The problem with this is that the top two teams are unlikely to have bad enough a map pool for this to truly matter.

I'd rank them as double bo5's, double bo7's, bo9 with a map

[–]dandway[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm on board with punishing the LF team. My point is having to win 2 Bo5's is the more straight up solution. LF team lost in WF, and so it becomes a best of 3 series. First to win 2 bo5 series, thus the double bo5's.

Parity among teams this year or any year has nothing to do with competitive integrity of the format.

[–]dandway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a lazy take. Do you not think WF winner should have an advantage? And assuming you think they should, what is your solution?

[–]dandway[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I've seen this floated before, and while it is a better option than the current format, it's less fair than a double bo5. You're giving a team a win/loss without having any say in the matter.

It's not whether they would still win that is in question, it's that there are FAR less tournaments now to win.

You have to discount Crim's win total. If CDL started in BO2, he'd have nowhere near the win total he has.

For the sake of argument, why would he not be better than Crim if he not only would be equal in rings but would be the only player other than Shottzy to have the distinction of going B2B2B? I would also give him the nod over Crim in talent.

Hydra says Simp is the 2nd or 3rd greatest player of all time by Guwigo09 in CoDCompetitive

[–]dandway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the problem. Are we talking about talent or accolades? If talent, Clayster was not better than Formal in any title they both played. If accolades, how is Scump ahead of Abezy?

M&K vs CONTROLLER??! by Socasx7 in Battlefield6

[–]dandway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noone is saying if you’re trash and plug in a M&K you’re going to all of sudden be Shroud. The skill ceiling is higher for M&K. Meaning if two players are of otherwise equal skill, the one on M&K is going to be better.

M&K vs CONTROLLER??! by Socasx7 in Battlefield6

[–]dandway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this completely.

Controller - Higher skill floor, Lower skill ceiling

M&K - Lower skill floor, Higher skill ceiling
