AOE4 Building Simulator from hellI love RTS games, but the muliplayer on this..is frustring as hell

[Nullified]

My first 50 games online were great! the match making and balance was good. I would play well enough to either win or defend to the last man, now my rank is higher the match making is HORRIFYING.

Why? from what I have noticed, I keep getting either noobs on my team or 1 other good player, now this is fine if you can carry the game with just one army but this game doesn't work like that, this is what annoys me about this game, I can build the biggest army and still lose because its impossible to carry a game 1 vs 3 due to the rock paper scissors i am not saying I am a super pro but in other RTS games you cant just walk right through a good player. but by the time you turn around between building, resources, defence, units there just inst enough time or resources to pump out a huge army after you lose one.

Not sure of any Team game where it's easier to carry poor performing teammates. Every team game I've played, whether ranked or standard matches, is dependent on solid team work. Usually it's the team with the weakest link that fails, especially if the other team is better coordinated and focuses down the weak teammate, thus turning the match into a lopsided 2v3 or 2v1 affair.
This isn't an issue unique to AOE iV either, it's a big complaint in MOBA's as well, where if a team is stuck with a particularly bad player many will just resign the match.
Often recommended to solve this is to form up your own pre-made team/squad or find a Clan/Community who's player base you can pick from to form up teams.
Otherwise online Teaming with randoms can be a frustrating experience. No matter the game or genre.

Maybe consider 1v1? Then you have noone to blame but yourself.. oh wait

Other RTS games have much worse team games, even if you can "carry". I understand the frustration, but you have to accept that it's impossible with so many game modes to match people of exact same MMR on each team. You have your noobs, and they have their noobs, and that's fine. The real problem is when they match Conqueror players with Gold players. That shouldn't happen.

If you've played a significant number of team games, you're not consistently getting worse teammates than opponents, that's just statistically impossible. Reality is you're being matched with teammates - and opponents - that are the same skill level as you, you're not having to carry a team, if you're playing as good as your teammates then you're winning 50% of your games

Do the other RTS game have better teamwork multiplayer?

okay none of you agree which is fine, I'm simply saying guys, the dynamics of the game can be very frustrating, you spend so much time in the beginning, collecting resources, scouting, ect this isn't a game were you can pump out a mass production of units and send them to multiple places on the map including to defend or help a teammate., late game yes you can, but the first 15-20mins impossible you all know that..

upgrades , build time you strategically do all that is necessary all whilst making sure you don't leave your own base wide open, for one of your teammates to leave the game all together. sometimes for no reason. and lets keep it 100% if its a 2v2 and your teammate leaves its game over. same with a 3v3 match.

perhaps your right 1v1 may be the route to go.
