R* punishes players for being a higher level

[SkynetOnlineID]

This is why I don't enjoy playing deathmatches in GTA 5. I always have to carry my team who have potato aim. I want skill based team balancing instead of level based team balancing. In Call of duty team balancing is much better since it places you in teams based on your last few matches and experiences. It's not perfect but still better then what we got.

@OP

Matching making (jobs menu)can leave you feeling like you have to carry the rest of the team when you look at ranks, BUT just remember that is just a feeling not a fact as i have seen levels as low as 10-15 who were great players and could carry a game themselves

Just keep in mind that rank does not always mean a lot I know all of us have saw players with ranks above 200 who couldnt hit a bull in the ass with a wet mop, and were useless trying to hit hit a moving target.......or put them in a car race with traffic on and the only thing they could hit was either the NPC cars or your rear bumper

Well I got punished trying to get my hydra from Sandy shores last night from that GOD FORSAKEN gang attack rockstar still haven't removed. You can walk through mastermind challenge with your eyes closed then get killed 4 times in 30 seconds just walking to your hydra by guys that don't even show up on the radar.. Gang attacks do almost nothing to you at a low level but they DRILL you will minigun headshot after headshot at a high level. What a bullsh*t.

@elfoam

Since coming the PS4 I thought that the Gang Attacks were different than on the PS3......I had never thought about rank........I Have had several WTF is going on moments with gang attacks that i was in either because i decided to do one, or because i needed something that spawned in the area ........I thought Damn i used to do several of these in a row and never die, now i die 2 or 3 times just grabbing a vehicle or plane, and even once if i am there to do the gang attack.........I thought damn i got rusty

I wish they would turn on team balancing by default. Number of lobbies I've joined and the host doesn't bother to change it. Annoying.... Idiots switching teams at last second so it's 6v2

I swear AI are rougher against you if you are high level also. During Insurgents setup, I was in the back of the unarmed one and my driver T boned one of the mesas and the 2 guys in it were shooting us ofc. I had full health and armor and died in 1 second whereas my lower level driver was fine... Bullets obviously zoomed around his head like magic.

Well... git gud? You're level 250 so in theory you should be better than, say, a level 64. It's common sense to balance the match based on the level of the players, nothing odd about it. Many other games do it as well, it's simply the normal thing to do. How is it even possible to be level 250 and still suck at the game? Not meant to be rude or anything, but just deal with it, it's the only reliable way to balance the match. K/D obviously won't work, and anything other than that I can't even think of. The level of the player is the only generally reliable way to do it.

Yeah,I f*cking hate the team balance in this game,the game literally forces me (level 270) to play with low levels who can't play the game right,meaning that I have to carry the whole team...which is bullsh*t

 

 

BTW,in several different jobs,the player is given the option to choose which team they want to be into,this can lead in overpowered and underpowered teams that can easily spoil the match (example:3 vs 7).

I am confident in my playing abilities and constantly find myself pulling the weight of the team . I tend to stick to LTS where the advantage is not skill per se but more the number of players on each team (eg. In Vehicle Vs rpg, dodgem car maps etc).

 

After all everybody can shoot RPGs but after several matches and constantly being placed on the team with fewer players, the biased game settings really gets on your nerves and takes away from the fun knowing you are put at an immediate disadvantage from the games onset due to being a high level.

Ascorrected in my following post.

 

You mean this?

 

 

 

Great contribution. I bet it took you a while to come up with that, eh?

 

or this?

 

 

 

And what makes you so concerned about where this topic belongs? I published this topic as means for discussion relating to the aforementioned grievance myself - and others if you bothered to read others responses - have experienced. Carry on - no need to derail the thread even further over such a silly reason.

 

Thats the following 2 posts from your original post. Regardless, did you hear the news? There's an EDIT button that allows you to EDIT the content of your ORIGINAL post, if you want to correct something. The really awesome thing about using that is that the people who don't bother reading all of your replies where you're being salty against the people replying to your topic, wont comment and correct you because you've already corrected yourself! It's a great feature, you should try it! Only been out on forums since the 90's!

Team balancing is broken as hell on this game.

 

Example of an average setup:

 

Team 1:

Level 430

Level 236

Level 312

Level 72

 

Team 2:

Level 267

Level 13

Level 32

Level 50

There are a lot of other ways to team balance. Read my previous post that explains how Call of duty team balances.

 

I think anyone saying it's far don't really play team death matches or care.

Ignoring Fuchuro's little passive-agressive outburst...

Yep, this. Easy for anyone who doesn't dabble with PvP modes to dismiss this, but as someone who almost exclusively plays LTS this issue of biased team balancing certainly deserves to be looked at by R*.

[DominusTaranis]

I just wished it didn't do that silly sh*t when I'm doing these modes with my crew.

 

Why must I be the odd person out? The point is to play with my crewmates...hence why we're in a crew.

 

Fairness be damned.

This. This right here. So much f*cking rage. It was me, and two other crew member So three in total. Playing random teammodes and there were two other guys.

 

I got handed over to one of the other guys, and the other one got put on MY team. Like...what in the actual f*ck.

[Broblab]

I opened the thread expecting to see all players above 100 being banned cause that's high this long after release apparently.

 

Yeah level isn't really an indicator of skill but higher levels do have access to a greater arsenal.

 

that is not relevant in drop zone or extraction.

 

we high levels are still being boned by the balance system.

[SkylineGTRFreak]

See, it could still be kinda balanced, but then it's me (230) with a Level 20 or so against a Level 50, 70 and 90. And that just sucks

Why is more expected of you for having a higher rank? The same reason rich people get taxed more, because they can afford it. A flat tax rate would favour rich people and if you can't see that then you are deluded.

 

Hope this helps,

Welcome to the wonderful world of "anything for the amateurs".

The only way it could get worse is if R* works out how to shut down half my controller when I'm playing against someone that sucks and could care less about getting better.
