> [@NANACHl](#): > > > [@Sixclicks](#): > > > > It has nothing to do with level. People switch to the team with the players that did the best last round or to teams that have a skilled platoon playing together. Or they change to the side of the map that generally wins on maps that have balancing issues. Being level 130 means nothing other than that you play the game a lot. > > Well lets see > Would you join group with 31 level 130 players or group with 31 level 1 players if your target was to win the game (Conquest)? > You have no other data avaible > > I personally would pick the first one because clearly those have over 300hours played,know the map,know the guns,know the class etc. > Even if you find some MLG pro in 1level team,his positioning will be off,team play non existent,not to mention level 1 players do not even know how where and why capture points(I’ve started few weeks ago so it is fresh for me,i m 90lvl now) > > Ofcourse the bridge is tighter as you move the levels up but it is normal to have 2000levels of difference in game > > But worst part is that not even ammount of players is balanced so in this game not only you have 32 level 130 on one team and level 1 on other > but the level 1 is alone in the game > > so 32 vs 1 > > and bruh,let me tell you no one will switch to his team willingly > > ![fp2tG6l.png](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/b/f/bfee428d94ab5f93a45dc122240442aa86f17afc.png) > NO ONE,and if someone joins the game he will instantly rage quit > > > [@EmothicVH](#): > > > > > [@bleachee](#): > > > > > > Somehow all the other team-based games in existence get by without a team switch button, why can’t Battlefield? > > > > Because many of them are just 4 v 4 to 16 v 16. Not 32 vs 32 where it is much difficult to have balanced gameplay in a 32 v 32 then a 16 v 16. Hell most fast pace shooters barely go over 12 v 12. Battlefield is one of very few to have 32 v 32 or more. > > I do not think you read his comment,or do you claim team switch button helps to balance this game? Because it does exact opposite. I’d pick the 130 team only because I know they’ll have access to weapons other than the base weapons. There’s no way to tell how good of players they’ll be though. In reality, that extreme of a divide never happens. I’m still not level 130 and I do better than many 130’s I run into. ---

> [@externilwig33](#): > > This is getting horrible, balance was so bad today the other team was actually intentionally keeping us close to prolong the match and farm us That happens on Frontlines some also if there is a strong platoon or two on the same side. They will let the week team push them back to their telegraphs, then turn it on and push them off the map. I’d guess just to have s game last more than ten minutes. ---

> [@KriZ\_Rul3Z](#): > > 1. Team changers are usually bad players. Allowing them to change teams actually helps to balance the game. If no one was allowed to change, there is no way the steamroll could ever turn around, right? Disagree. Im a great player that PLAYS TO WIN THE GAME at the cost of KD that I dont care about. I need to see a team is worthy of my efforts. When I come into a new server, I usually make my decision within the first 50 pts. You can tell a lot about how good a team is by their approach to round opening. ---

“Removing the switch team function won’t help. And I can’t ever understand why people never realize that. You see if I get into a server with a team that can’t do sh-, and play like sh-. Well then I’m not going to have fun playing, which means I’m either going to switch teams or leave the server. So really removing the swtich team function won’t do anything because players will just leave the server making that sh- team worse by having them outnumbered.” A grade 4 student could do the math on this and realize that switching to the winning team leaves greater unbalance than dropping e game. “3. Team changers are usually bad players. Allowing them to change teams actually helps to balance the game. If no one was allowed to change, there is no way the steamroll could ever turn around, right?” Incorrect. Team changers are alert players that care about winning. In BF1 it’s often the top scorers. It’s not difficult when done at the beginning of a match when the alert players (who are typically the winning type that try) join the team with better players, and they know who those are because they’re paying attention. I just started playing BF5, realized the team switch option is gone, and think it’s a step in the right direction for fun and balance. Add a points penalty for dropping games mid match and we’ll really be cooking with fire. [Previous page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/remove-the-team-switch-button/103329.md?page=2)
