Just having a BR system is an inherent imbalance as is having a 12-year vet facing a relatively newbie or even a bad player vs a good one. I am on XBOX the very symbol of imbalance in the game but I still play.
Those are normal things in any MP Game where SBMM isn’t a thing. The BR System can be worked around in majority of cases, some BRs are more unbalanced than others but overall encountering +/-1 is doable and facing Veterans is often times actually good because it forces you to learn quicker and become better.
But name me one Team vs Team MP Game where its often just decided by who has less ODL and more people respawning. Theres none. All of them enforce one of the two and punish leavers and none have a mechanic like Repair Cost in place either.
Many Games let you fight against Veterans or people who have stronger / higher level Equipment than you but not a single one has the majority of its Matches decided by who has simply the most players in it
So how unhappy am I going to be in a game where I got 12 kills in a game where my team bailed early, and we lost? I am going to be delighted and not give a damn about any other stat other than my RP gains and SL gains and my bad boy badge for coming 1st or 2nd
You fail to acknowledge that a player can have a brilliant time in a game where his team was overrun and lost. They can achieve their BP aims and come first place. They can win a game as a team and get nothing and come 14th.What game scenario gives you the most pleasure?
Also how many games have started with you getting wiped out in the opening minutes and you came back and took top place? Reason not to ODL ? How many times did you watch a replay, and the winner had a real average game until he got 5 in the closing minute?
Reduce the pressure and you reduce the sweatiness of it all.
