Highly ranked, 8-man party BTB

[Phisco_reliK]

So how does matchmaking decide that a bunch of lower level players should play against teams that have all Inheritors and what not. I myself am a Mythic, but when my teamates are all Warrant Officers, it's hard to have fun against a team of 8 highly ranked players. Shouldn't people in parties be matched against other parties? And shouldn't ranks on opposite teams be rather close? Someone who plays the game once a month is not going to have fun losing 100-20 against a highly ranked team. I get very frustrated because half of my team won't see the point in playing a bunch to these types of parties and will either quit, or go hide and let the game end. What can 343 do, if anything, to fix this? BTB is one of my favorite matches and this is ruining it for me. Any thoughts?

 

*Also, I realize rank doesn't necessarily mean skill, but if someone plays a lot, they are probably going to be a lot better than someone who doesn't play very much, and the ranks reflect this.

Totally agree, although i get it for swat and snipers, i have very low ranked, playing against a high ranked party, and i have to do all of the work

There should be an option in the preferences to ONLY be put in an match with an opposing team composed of 3 man parties or smaller... And vice versa.

I know what you mean. I came across those parties too an I was stuck in a team of which the highest rank was warrent officer grade 3

I really like the search preferences, but they would need to implement something that would stop a party of 8 searching for parties of 1 or 2.... You know... People exploiting things...

 

I don't mind playing highly ranked people (because I myself am a Noble), but when it comes to a party of 8 vs a few parties of 2 or 3, the party of 8 could be less skilled, but they have a significant advantage due to communication, and would probably win.
