1) people aren't playing in "stacked" teams, they're playing with friends 2) the game can't sit and try to piece together only fireteam v fireteam and solo v solo because matchmaking would take forever. Within that 30-45 seconds of grouping, the game is also trying to match by connection, region, skill and all the other things players want. It's simply not realistic to expect fireteams to sit in queue forever waiting for a right size combination to fit all criteria. 3) there's an opt-in to chat option for solo players before EVERY SINGLE MATCH. If you believe a bunch of friends who are more likely than not bullshitting about life rather than making callouts, are at an advantage for that, then join chat and talk to your teammates. 4) You can also with a couple button presses invite your entire team to a private party chat while loading into a match. 5) when you play with people whom you do well teaming with, you can invite them to join you to stay teamed up 6) fireteams lose as much as they win. Don't tell anyone though because they do appreciate the psychological advantage from playing people that look at opposing team comps and get pissed and assume a loss before the match starts Been playing shooters for 20 years and honestly it's sad to see how much everyone just complains about anything and everything they die or lose to these days. Crying about fireteams, weapons, abilities, connection, kill times, etc. It's not cool. Everyone wants to show how "skilled" they are... Just not against anything they feel would be a challenge to beat. Do you see the disconnect there?

Sometimes we get outplayed. Sometimes the opponents were just better. Also last but not least, it's a game and all these posts calling out players for playing with friends or using weapons they like that you disapprove of really ruin it and take the fun out of it. Playing QP with a couple friends and getting dms after games calling you names for playing "stacked" or using a weapon that literally everyone has access to is garbage and needs to stop. Stop propagating excuses and start finding ways to win no matter the odds. That's skill.
