Every single match I find myself alone with 6 enemy. Where did go my teammates? 3 minutes in battle, and half of my teammates are missing while I have three more bots in my Hangar. How someone with 4 Ares makes 80k damage and get meched out in three minutes.

Dunno, but in iOS BR it’s about 40% of the time I drop late these days. Sometimes almost a min into the game.
Either MM is struggling or lots of map/match skipping.

And the problem still exists. Today I didn't have even one win, 20 losses. There is something fishy about this game.

It has definitely been weird the last couple of weeks. My points are still climbing as I'm usually top 2, but my win rate is in the toilet.
I am getting lots of matches with the same dynamic, where I am on my 2nd or 3rd bot and almost everyone else is gone. And a lot of times we'll have been overrunning the reds for the first two minutes and then it'll totally reverse. It doesn't exactly feel like my team overextended either. Normally that had its own rhythm and you can see 1 or 2 guys clearly dropping in too much on a certain beacon. This seems different.
I think lag is part of the problem. Folks tend to assume the low scorers dropped out of the match, but server problems are often the real culprit. Definitely seeing that a lot the last couple weeks, including repeated instances of bots basically materializing out of nowhere. And I am on a newer phone so I am better off than a lot of other players.
I wonder too a bit about if T-Falc is changing BR dynamics. There are more and more in the gsme now whose HP makes them essentially unstoppable. Maybe some players are basically just getting wiped out trying to stop them from marching through the beacons early on.

Could be I know I have used my T-Falcon to bully my way into center and then to their spawn playing BR killing Reds in mass. |

Played some BR for the first time in weeks last night. Me and a clan mate were running pairs. In every single match, we started with 3 or 4 vs 6. Every single time. We did not have this problem on the Dom matches we ran. Every single BR match was a loss for us. Really sucked because I had the "win 10 matches in squad" for some Au last night. |

Yeah, doesn't matter what my win rate is... I get at least 2 wastes of space on my team. It's frustrating as hell to run solo.

Something changed lately. Yes there is more lag and yes the late drop ins increased but I reckon those things wouldn’t piss people off so severely all of a sudden. I play all modes and see it in all of them. BR has to take the cake but TDM is catching up fast.
When I am in squad (2 or 3) the number of reds ditching is really high. Had like 6 games in a row a few days ago where 2 to 4 reds fought on after the first minute. In solo games I notice a lot of people lately with 200K-400K scores who should be scoring more. I reckon they just stop playing when the outcome looks bleak or when a masters player realizes that he copped a Mid Champions League allocation and is playing the part of cannon fodder. When you think about it that Masters player can stop playing and the game will be over rather quick (even more so if one stops playing and another says to hell with this round). Then he looks for a Masters or low Champions League allocation to have fun.
Hard to pin down tho as it happened so fast which would suggest a system related cause

And it was like 3-4 games then I said 「fluffernutter」 it and quit to break the cycle and get in a loop with different people. |

Interestingly the games didnt have people disappearing. It must be a player thing. But does seem like there was a slight rejig of what leagues are matched. |

Interestingly the games didnt have people disappearing. It must be a player thing. But does seem like there was a slight rejig of what leagues are matched. Now my smurf account is in Silver 1 (Android) and I'm seal clubing the Bronze 1/2/3. Is this mess caused by a programming error in the MM or a new strategy from Pix? |

And the problem still exists. Today I didn't have even one win, 20 losses. There is something fishy about this game. Beacon Rush is the one format I stay away from at all costs. Like you said it is broken. To get beacons I will only play Domination since I feel it rewards someone willing to work for the win. Except the Yamantau map (which acts like a beacon rush) I feel you get a fairer game play. Team Death Matches is even more team oriented and it allows for other types of setups that just wouldn't make it in the fast paced world of beacon rushing. I suggest you not play Beacon Rush anymore just like I won't. |

Listen carefully, EVERYTHING is fishy about this game. Actually! Being fishy is the purposeful nature of this game... |
