Would be nice if match making got changed so that fireteams had to play against other fireteams. so if you are in a team of 4/5 you get lined out with a group of 4/5 of another group so they cant verse randoms for an easier win. they have to play a more leveled playing field. randoms vs randoms, FT v FT. seems absolutely fair n balanced. and if its a 5 man team and your party has 4 than you get 1 random and same happens to other team with 4 in FT and 1 random. completely works. I don’t see what the harm is in that. It only stands to help make a more even match. I mean you wouldn’t call it a balanced match in anything else where 1 team is all together, they know each other or can communicate and than the other team get came in and dont know each other and have them verse each other. I mean does MLG do that were one team thats together, has a name and everything and the other team are just random players they selected, oh and cover some of their mouths because some might not have mics or are in party chat. I mean really, don’t try and say thats balanced because that so isn’t. Arena is suppose to be competitive, fireteams beating on randoms isn’t competitive. sure there are games where the randoms might win but thats far less likely. and to keep competitive the playing field must be at 50/50 as you can get.
And just to save time to anyone thats going to say this, I’ll save you the time. please dont do that whole, you need to get a team together like go to the forums n ask, i tried going on here several times asking for parties with randoms, probably 5 times i have tried, and got no one so im not gonna bother with that dumb saying “you got to get a team together on here before you can go into matchmaking” a waste about 30 of game time to finally find out no one wants to join so ya na. thats 2-3 games i missed out on for nothing and maybe one of those games could have been a good game. and my friends that use to play this are no longer playing this game or are on at different times most nights. i add people that i play with but afterwards they no longer on at the same time i am. so ya thats just wasting time. if i have my fireteam, i should have to verse an other fireteam. if im playing random, the other team should be equally random number of random players.
Agree with this completely. I feel like the search tries to keep it even, but more often than not I find myself either up against a team, or more likely, a group of skilled randoms that are communicating to some degree.
I’m pretty sure the game tries to match you with a team as similar as possible to yours, but sometimes it will be a team vs randoms because it isn’t able to find a team to fight against the other team.
Your recommendation, only works well when there are other teams available to play, otherwise, you will have long wait times, matching is made best as possible from available players. While not perfect, it is the best balance between availability and wait times.
I know they wouldn’t do it, but maybe fireteams should have it’s own playlist where you can only go into it with your fireteam. Something like that you know… but I agree with the OP. It’s not fun when your solo playing against a team. Even if everyone on your team is talking on mics, it’s still almost no contest.
While I know finding games at higher levels may hinder this.
This absolutely happens at diamond ranks and below. I noticed it specifically with doubles when they had it. suddenly when I get a partner in my fireteam I’m playing against a team vs. 2 randoms.

than id say give it normal wait time, if not than find randoms of equal value to face and after that, just randoms. rather than 4/5 pros in a fireteam vs 4/5 randoms of random value. seems like an unfair match. i highly doing they cant but if so just go in that order. thought, again, highly unlikely since now some people specifically have friends to get in groups with because you get lined up with randoms most times and its easy win so thats why they like it. so when they start getting matched balanced n even they are gonna find they have to play people their own size.

As long as I can find a match, right?
The game sure isn’t trying to hard if that’s the case, because this happens pretty consistently. I don’t know why they can’t just emulate the Halo games with systems that worked.
