Due to technical limitations and limited playerbase. What we need now is a quick fix to matchmaking, like discussed here: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=156277&find=unread

This would help, but other factors are more important to a good match. Good matches are the ones that are evenly matched, where both teams have a chance of winning until the very end. That's why matches should be focused on the win/lose ratio of the participants, factoring in the impact of squadding and the use of microphones. Imagine one team with a synched corps against a team of random blueberries without squads. The corps will always win, even if they'd have an SP disadvantage.

Imagine one team with a synched corps against a team of random blueberries without squads. The corps will always win, even if they'd have an SP disadvantage. But how do you factor in those players who free-load on the win/lose ratios? You know, those players who sit back and let your squad do the rest of the work? You usually call them AFKers. With more balanced matches, AFK'ers will lose more often than not, because they don't contribute. If someone always goes AFK, their win/loss ratio will be so low that it'll hardly contribute to winning and his team will get an extra merc on the team.
