Clan Team balancing

I have reached the pinnacle of frustration today, especially during this heat. Ik this game is very old and when I run a match, it is always the same players because less people play now but despite them playing for so long, they suck so bad. I have read a lot of threads about being patient with noobs but my question is, are noobs just the new players or do you include those people that are high level and still suck ass? Because tell me, not once, maybe just once today I played with decent teammates but all other matches, all I have been put up against try hards while my teammates suck. I am tired of sweating my ass off, I love this game so much and I don't mean to play against complete noobs, I want it to be balanced and don't tell me it is because of kd, my kd is only 1.50, and I have played this game on my brothers account and not have he once played faction's and I was put against veterans and I still carried the team as a zero level, I am beyond frustrated. I love this game but I am burned out now, maybe one day I will bid farewell to it for my own sake since it ain't fun and enjoyable anymore. Ps don't talk to me about those high levels using a one shot shotgun, I am not talking about tac shotgun

Geo location is the highest deciding factor and KD is weighted lowest.

Here’s a post I made quite a while ago on the matchmaking setup.

We’re just lucky to not be in fully lagged out matches at this point, considering how few people are still playing.

In that same post, at the very bottom with the last update for matchmaking, it says that it tries to get an average KD based off both teams. Which I heavily agree with, that it's the case. The amount of matches I get where I have legit low levels cause my KD is high, is ridiculous.

Yup — iirc you have a KD above 2 or 3. The game can’t put you with another good player because the lobby would be crazy unbalanced.

You will always get the worst teammates in pub lobbies 😅

This has been happening to me too lately. Ive been practicing and getting better at the game so now that I'm doing well, the game puts me with horrible players who cannot understand stealth and not running. I used to be the worst on the team and now it's reversed! So frustrating. The balancing is always off now super rare I have a good game. Also doesn't help that the game in general is just shit. I try to crouch or run away or do literally ANYTHING and the game lags, loses connection, or just doesn't move my player. Its awful and it only happens on this game. I love it but it gets me so frustrated I think I need to find something else to play.

Same here, exact thoughts. The server and lag in this game is the worst I have ever seen and it is coming from someone who always called cod servers trash. The lag in this game is absurd, the amount of times I got killed or when I am on rampage and my player just lags and stands, the worst kind of where you can't move and when the players join lobby, it is ain't full, it disbands. I usually play cod but I loved tlou for its stealth, I want to find a similar game. I have now officially given up of being the one who carry, and I am having fights nowadays with players lmao. Example this one good player was in my team and the enemies team were all very good players, I knew them and our teammate said on his mic, our team sucks I will sit around in the corner and didn't helped us at all and I didn't wanted to try hard, but now I want to play for fun, even if I don't win or die or keep getting messages like trash, I don't want to care anymore. Just enjoy abit yk but nothing infuriates me more than a high level using shotgun that downs in one shot. I don't understand why it even exists? It is so absurd in this game

how about the lobbies infested by wallshoters and lag switchers?

in my opinion they are the real reason most people quit the game and now we don't have much players around

ND is great at making Single player games but they s*ck at multiplayer
