WHY, I ask you, IS THIS STILLLLLLLL a thing???
IT’S BEEN YEARS OF THIS!!!
FOUR CONQUERORS VS. 4 PLAT/GOLDS?!?!?! REALLY?!?!?!??!?!
WHY!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!
CAN YOU NOT DO BETTER, DEVS?! CAN YOU NOT? Really??? HOW much you getting paid to make this game this terrible? YOU CANT FIX THIS??? REALLY???
Yea it is really annoying same in aoe3, premade 2k+ vs a bunch of 1300…premade should be matched with premade and solo vs solo simple as that
Because people want to play with their friends. I do agree the match making is absolute dog crap, but people should be allowed to play with their friends.
I think just people who play with friends should be matched with others who play with friends so both have communication within a team, it is more fair. Premade vs random is just not fair. Random not everyone talks, no prepared strats, and takes a long time to type and sacrifice apm to word chat…army probably dont move together, it is like pro vs noob level unbalance
You need to make friends and play as a team, it’s much better.
In fact, having a permanent team of people who play and communicate with each other is the correct way to play team games.
But I’m against falling into matches with much higher level players fighting low level.
The other day my team was made up of low-level players and one who had no ranking or any experience.
At the beginning of the game, one of the players on the enemy team said that we were going to lose and sent a /8 in the first minute of the game.
And even though the team tried hard and took down two enemy players (the platinium too), one of our players had no experience and did nothing. It was practically a 3v2 in late game and we still lost because the two who had survived had developed a large economy, while 3 players on my team spent everything on a rush that lasted between the 2nd and 3rd era. Our fourth player, who had recently bought the game, made no eco and army, he was obliterated in the late game in a battle that took less than 1 minute exposing our flank and we still lost.
And on rare occasions I manage to win, even with a team with lower level players!
In short: ‘It is what it is’. ‘Life is not fair’. ‘Some battles are harder than others’… etc…
Get a team together. It’s great to have a team that has a strategy and can help each other win. Organized teamwork is an advantage in war. If you want, you can add me.
… and then complain that there is no game to be found, after a long time, and that therefore it is a dead game xd
So you don’t want anyone to TEAM up to play with family or friends or clan members for ranked TEAM games that is just ridiculous.
If you seperate pre-made teams and players who just click to play in teams without having anyone pre-made to play with then you will have it taking much longer for team games to get going for both groups.
A longer wait still better than unbalanced or one side having huge natural advantage
If I am not mistaken part of the imbalance in ranked games comes from wait times where the longer the wait time the bigger rank differences are because its trying to get people into games so it expands the rank difference as more time passes to get people into games.
That is bad design longer wait shouldn’t allownmore and more unbalanced games it should just wait for proper team
Any design you have will have some serious problems because their isn’t always going to be enough similar ranked players trying to play at the same time especially when your higher up in rank and this becomes worse in team games.
They should definetly match with other pres or matchmaking need to be fixed like diamond to diamond , conqueror to conqueror matchs.I reached diamond and stop playing any team games because literally im not exaggrating , guys with no rank came and builded mining camp near the berries and he quit at the first attack.
The game doesn’t have enough of a player base to be picky with match ups or wait times will be even longer. If aoe4 had like 30k+ consistent players then I can see that being implemented.
Worst idea ever. Premades are not the problem, the only problem is the ELO difference between teams. But team games are for playing with friends.
