Maybe someone here can help me.
Something's up with this game. I've now lost 33 TDM games in a row, despite having at least a 2.00 KD in each match I complete. I'm a solo player, but it pairs me up with, legitimately, the worst people possible. I'm a level 55, and it's constantly putting nothing but level 20s and under on my team, while the other team will have multiple prestige people.
If I partner up with my nephew, I get decent lobbies even though his SPM and KD are way below mine. If I go solo, though, it's absolutely insane. Is there skill based match making or not?
I mean, I know I just need to git good, but come the hell on. Why is it doing this? The last match I was on, it was me (Level 55) and the next highest level on my team was a level 9. Everyone else was below that. Is there a way to reset my stats or something?
I'm completely at a loss. I have like 800 hours on the Wii U version of BLOPS2, 600 on the PS3 version, and I've never had shit like this happen.
Ha! Join the club! There are countless of us who've been complaining about team balancing since launch. It's gotten so bad that I considered not playing anymore. I'm at Prestige 9 now but the rage is real.
Here's a video by driftor explaining it (nothing official but is spot-on):

I've played games where I go 50-12 or something and we still lose! I check the scoreboard and see my teammates go, I shit you not, 3-28, 4-25, etc. It's so goddamn infuriating. And to top it off, they're high level prestige players, too. I know prestige is not a barometer of skill but of time, but even so, man, people shouldn't prestige past 1 or 2 if they know they suck. :}
It's like Treyarch punishes good or competent players by making sure they get lumped up with the worst four teammates possible. I normally play Dom and rush the crap out of the enemy. I've lost count how many times I kill 3-4 enemies at the start of the round and my teammates do absolutely nothing except camp or some shit.
Not sure what kind of algorithm Treyarch uses in team balancing and matchmaking, but it's shit. Worst one I've experienced in any CoD game ever. Easy solution is to always find squad mates. I would but I get two-bar pings whenever I squad with GAF and get 250-300ms pings.
I almost can't get over how bad the B point is in that map
edit: to reiterate more, I thought redwood had the worse designed B point in domination. Until the DLC came out. Skyjacked is awful due to the fact that the B point is cramped; meaning that you get easily gangbanged by explosives. Not only that, it's extremely easy for someone to shoot safely from the window. Plus it's super fast to get to due to the size of the map. Splash takes the cake for worst B point in existence, especially if you spawn from the tunnel side. The people on the other side essentially have a sniper distance to kill you from. Not only that, they spawn literally right by where they can easily kill you from. So unless you make spawns flip it's going to be nigh impossible to take the point from a competent team. There's also the fact of the ledge when you spawn in from the caves. Meaning that you can't easily kill someone capping the point without exposing yourself to instantly lethal risk. You can be shot from nearly a 270 degree arc from around the point due to the fact that there's no cover but the ledge and that's hardly enough cover to live.
Skyjacked B is super shit since no one wants to take it. I only attack it once I've gotten my streaks and we need to cap it.
Also, funny stuff, but people are NOT voting for the new maps whenever I play. Like, if there's Breach, Rise, people vote for Breach. I've seen this happen a lot of times and erm, doesn't speak highly of the new maps.
Man skyjacked is so shit and I'm tired of it showing up just as much as combine is now. I hardly ever see splash or gauntlet.
Yep. This is the new Combine. Worse than Hijacked due to the new movement and Specialist shit.
Seriously, guys, I'm considering going back to BF4 due to how shit the matchmaking/team balancing is. I mean, it's fine if they can't do shit, but the fact that people "feed" the enemy with score means streaks galore and it's infuriating.
If they know they suck. don't blindly rush in and for the love of god! Please take down RAPS ships, CUAV, etc. Sigh. At that point, when I see someone go 0-10 and whatnot, I just quit. W/L record be damned.
