Servers favour 1 side in a game?
I'm just putting this out for comment as I'm unsure but would like to hear other players thoughts, to me I believe (but could be wrong) that the servers seem to favour 1 side in a game, 1 team seem to get it easy, easy kills etc yet the other team struggle, shots don't register and might as well be throwing water balloons at the enemy... Even tonight I hit 2 players standing next to each other square on with the AT Rocket and nothing... I've experienced both these and a lot more lately, does anyone else feel this happens? Australian player btw...

Ok so it's not just me then!!! Cheers Vaders
It's so so frustrating! Thanks V99999
I'm playing it this morning and like one of the above posters said "you can go from God mode to dirt" in the time it takes to flip a switch.
Very very frustrating.
Last night I played 3 rounds of conquest. In the first match, my team was annihilated. We lost by a little more than 500 points. Then in the second match, my team dominated. We had 500 points before the other team had 200. Then in the third match, everything shifted again. The other team dominated and we lost again, by about 400 points. There were no close games and no real balancing. It was either one side or the other.
It is conjecture and anecdotal, it just seems like the servers favour 1 side in a game but what the real reasons are, I don't know but it would be good to know why this happens, it's just so frustrating...
Played dom last night. Was the only rank 140. Rest of team rank 90 and below. Other team had two players under 100. 85 and a 92. Rest of team was 110 and above. If course they stomped us. I was first on my side 4 games in a row. Didn't mind the challenge but sucked playing 5 min games.
Sure it's conjecture and anecdotal but like the old saying says, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck.
I think it is partly down to the skill based matchmaking and how they assign teams by skill. Every individual player has a skill rating and it seems to me that they just simply average it out. So on one team you have a squad with 5 incredibly high skill players and the rest is populated by very low skill players, the other team is made up of all average skill level players. Thus the team with average skill players will in theory win every time, especially in the 64 player game modes as 4 or 5 players can’t win the game.
I find this very noticeable as some games I’ll be 5-10k points clear at the top of the scoreboard with a 4 or 5+ kd ratio and more kills than the rest of my squad combined. These games where I do very well personally are generally the ones I lose, the ones I win mainly are the games where my teams scorebord is fairly well balanced and the top 5-10 spaces are pretty equal.
I would like to see a tier ranking system that other competitive games have like Halo and Gears so you’re always playing with similar level players as yourself and don’t have a team populated by potatoes with 2 left hands.
I don't think that's what op is talking about. I do understand what your talking about but, op (I think) is talking about how one side seems to be able to kill with no issues yet the other sides 4 shot weapons seems to take 8 now, how the other team seem to be able to snap aim the heck out of your team but when you snap aim your either Lt or Rt of them, the other team captures a flag and it done in seconds but even when you have 10 players on it, it's just tic, tic, tic. There's more of corse but this should be enough to understand op point.
Gotcha, misunderstood that my bad.
Yes Sir, you hit the nail on the head and is exactly what I am talking about... obviously I'm not the only one who experiences this lol.
You make some good points about balancing though Haddock, I'm a Halo 5 player and I always find it frustrating matching players far greater in skill than me and where there doesn't seem to be any skill based matchmaking (i.e. ranked TDM maybe) but I guess that's for another thread and not sure it would work in Battlefield games, thanks for your reply though ☺
Do you think they're more intetested in BFV and BF1 is no longer a priority? I had 2 enemy players respawn right next to me yesterday in Conquest and they didn't even realise I was an enemy player until it was too late...
