I just had match where my team had a platoon of 2. The other team had a platoon of 2 AND a platoon of 3. Due to the power of a platoon working together, you can guess the results of the match. 2<5
The Very NEXT match my team was ALL single players and the other team had a platoon of 3. 0<3. I was like WTH?
One team having 3 extra players in s platoon is NOT balanced. 0 doesn't equal 3. The match maker should not allow teams with more than a difference of 1 player in platoons. A difference of 1 is okay. 2 might, might work in a pinch. But a difference of 3 is simply too great.
Lowering the allowable difference to make a match might increase the wait time for those in platoon, but honestly I don't care. Make them wait. It is better to have that 3-man platoon wait than to screw over the whole other team.
