Playing with 3 radoms is very difficult but imo what’s even harder is playing that with no mics. From what I’ve seen having mics and communicating can make such a world of difference it’s not even funny. Even a thrown together team can have success. Still though with both teams having near equal players a team that plays together regularly clearly has a huge advantage. Be nice to see a team vs team option and and an option to try to match with other players that have mics. I’d wait an extra 5min between games to have that.
If you hate losing I got some bad news for you. No matter what game you are playing. Ranked or casual. If it is team based match, you will lose more times than not as a solo player. If anyone thinks that this inalienable fact is disrespectful they should take a step back and take a deep breath.
Even with the solo/duo option. You’d still have people complain that they they lost as 4 solos vs 2 dous or 1 duo and 2 solos vs 2 dous.
The thing that can be used to close the disadvantage of being a solo is team chat. Which is turned off by default in infinite and that in of itself is a bad idea when 99% of the game modes are team based. This alone won’t guaranty solos a win or anything, because a team that plays together will always have better synergy than 4 randomly tossed players, but it still helps a lot.
To get the best out come out of ranked (or casual) you should always jump in as a team of 4. If you do not wish to get the best outcome, stick to what you are doing and go where the wind blows. All i know is that getting mad at people pointing out the flaws of your choices isn’t going to change your matchmaking experience.

There’s a reason they try and balance for squads vs individuals though. If solo players are noticeably disadvantaged in social, then the player base will crash, since the majority of players will be playing solo most of the time.
Not sure how Infinite does it specifically but it definitely tries to balance out squads vs solo players in social and it should continue to do so.
Just play my friends and I, all you have to do is kill me first and then you’ll have an easy team wipe.
Remember as the solo players, you guys get higher overall team mmr. Maybe dust off the mic and stop being dbags to each other and work together, maybe make some friends in our dwindling population.
Maybe one day you’ll be lucky and get that solo queue only for ranked and then you can play in your random matchmaking bliss with no communication or teamwork in an fps that’s all about communication and teamwork. Probably not though for now dead ranked is.
A party of four is more coordinated and advantageous. This is natural and this is totally acceptable.
The problem is that in my experience, when a 4-person party and a solo player are pitted against each other, the 4-person party very often has a higher CSR. This may vary from person to person, but I have had this experience many times.
Since 4-person parties have the advantage of being able to coordinate, can’t they at least be matched at the same level of CSR? This would make it more acceptable for us to lose.
Sounds right, however when you factor in that most of these teams contain high lvl plat or diamonds playing with a silvers and then getting matched with a team of low to mid Golds and destroying them has more to do with the wide range of rank that 343 has to apply to give you a match as the population is so low……and we all know why that is !!!
