Not to be rude, but I've seen a few of these now and we need to be more specific. There is matchmaking, you request to play and it matches other people who want to play...
People need to clarify they want Skill-Based matchmaking

I'm 41, have an adult job and just don't have anywhere near the reflexes I used to have when I was a young gamer. I totally get the argument that not everyone would want to be lumped into a rusty old player server but giving people like me the choice is the right way to keep a section of your player base. I hit level 13 today and have 5 kills to my name. Love the game but you can only take so many kicks to the face before you roll over and die.

Being one of the casuals that isn't having fun... All I feel I'm doing at the moment is collecting loot from zones that the better players haven't gone to. Its not fun.

I don't understand the mentality of the people complaining about skill gap in this game. Did any of you expect to jump into a competitive fps that is not the typical genre that you play and win? I have been playing fps games for more than 20 years and when i started this game i had absolutely 0 expectations in terms of how many kills or victories i would get.
I had to play more than 30 matches to get my first victory. I got my first kill on match 5.
This is a BR game, stop trying to make it paly like OW. If you do not like how a BR game plays, you are free to go back to OW. But first be patient and willing to learn how to play the game the way it is supposed to be played. Learn the map call outs. Learn the map loot locations (areas that have high quality loot, areas that have mid quality loot etc.). Expect areas that have high quality loot to be full of players and most definitely attract both noobs and expert players. It would be better if you are a noob to go to a mid quality loot area and keep moving constantly. Do not spend 10 minutes in one area looting. Finally do not expect to win. If you happen to win it's just an extra. Not even the top pros win every game. If you want to improve your fighting chances then simply practice more. Jump into more games learn to play different characters so you know what are their strong points and what are their weaknesses.
Even pro players aim at a high quantity of games to get more wins. Learn from them and adapt.
Having a skill based system will most definitely guarantee you even less wins than now. The opportunity to run a new account and pubstomp noobs to fodder stats is just too great to pass for any seasoned player.

im sure this game will be very fun when all people frustrated by current lack of fair matchmaking system leave and 10 people left cant find any games...people play to have fun and winning is fun. losing is not, especially when you are left with feeling that you cant do anything about it. and not everyone has the free time to be a tryhard twitchtard, average gamer is a 35yo working white male.

@Karsot When I'm starting doing something, even if it's competitive, I don't expect to be pitted against the best of the best. If I go to a chess club, I don't expect to be greeted by Garri Kasparow and thrown out if I don't win. I don't expect to be played into the ground by Messi when I step onto a football field, or get aced by Roger Federer in my first tennis game.
So why do so many people think it's okay to throw absolute noobs into the same game as a killing machine?
Oh right, because the people okay with it are the ones who are already good and it gives them free kills.

Why in gods name, does EA think its fair for teams of three with one thousand kills each to play me and my team with 50-100 kills each......
There has to be actual matchmaking put into this game.... This right here is one of the main things ruining me and my friends fun.... while we are still learning the game. we get outclassed every match... Fighting against guys who haven't logged off since the game came out.
This needs to be addressed soon. I foresee others and myself not playing this game anymore. There is no fun in getting rolled on every match... You can crack your jokes about my skill etc.... but that is besides the point that there is no room to grow when your just straight rolled on.
Please address this EA as this game has potential and ide hate to see it ruined because of an issue like this.. keeping new players intimidated.
Thank You

Thanks for this. i just posted a similar thread about this. I am glad me and my outfit isnt alone in this thought.. When i get in a match and its guys who haven't logged off since launch. its no fun whatsoever... This needs to be addressed immediatley or people are going to stop playing.
I also forsee people with the "get good" attitude posting negativity on posts like this... How does one get good when your constantly rolled on. My skills in other games are fine.
This game needs proper matchmaking!!!!!!

The game is in desperate need of skill based matchmaking. I fear without it, it will die. It has already seen a massive decline in players over the week. Not sure if this is the reason but it is probably a large cause for.
