Why am I always on the losing team?

[Rubbish Chef]

I have 150+ hours in the game. I played a lot of domination. I capture a lot, etc etc.
But for some reason, I've NEVER won any domination. NEVER. Literally, I didn't win even once.
And it's always like, the other team has 3 times as many points, or even more, then 50% of the time 90% of the team rage quits... Just why??? Am I cursed or something? This is really annoying...

sounds like you suck

instead of capturing try defending, many of the top players dont actually capture. They leave it to noob cannon fodder to do while they just clean up and get streaks or camping B stopping the enemy from getting it. Also you need to hold capturing is pointless if you lose it straight away, you need to clear the surrounding area before you capture or you just die and they reclaim b 5 secs later.
Although KDR isnt that important in DOM you cant feed the emeny there will always be at least 1 player who wants to get a major streak, keep them dead watch their ratios if there is someone who doesnt seem to be dying hunt them and kill them and be a buzzkill. Buzzkills are game savers in Dom. Always have a tryhard loadout, your favourite gun etc or a stealth perk class, for that situation.

The matchmaking is designed to fill games with unbalanced teams (ie. lots of rage quits on one team). Sometimes you get "stuck" to a bad game and you will always be rejoined to the same match even if you quit ten times and try to look for a new game in that game mode.

This is an old classic. This is just about how it goes: there's a couple of overpowered, perfect aim, no life level 1000 smg runners or quick scopers who get huge killstreaks and spawn r@pe the other team --> half of the r@ped team rage quits --> the rest of the team can't handle the overpowered players, the game goes even more unbalanced, feeding the overpowered players even more --> new players are joined to the losing team, some of them quit right away because there's no point in playing a game where your team is losing 90-15, the sky is full of enemy wraiths and hatrs --> the cycle continues, players are sucked into that miserable team all the time until the game ends and a new game, with more balanced teams (or not), starts.

So no, you are not cursed, just another victim of the stupid matchmaking system. I think there should be an option not to join games in progress, or a chance to permanently quit a certain match (you are not joined back to that same match anymore if you quit once). I wouldn't want to encourage rage quitting but on the other hand we are all in-game for our own stats and challenges, not feeding some overpowered spawn killers and their streaks.

I agree with all you said but this one really annoys me, if you join a match mid way it doesnt matter if you lose as you dont get a lose stat, I find a game where you are pretty much doomed a good chance to go for diamond challenges etc without worrying about having to get B and sometimes these games can turn round, if the right joiners stay. Why do people leave 3 or 4 times and make their w/l stat worse seems mad.

You are correct, but read what I said further. Usually those games are extremely unbalanced with these overpowered level 1000s, who go like 80-6 in a single match, on the enemy team. There's little chance against those guys, so it's better just to go find a more balanced match where you actually have some chances. Sure you destroy your win/loss stats by quitting 3-4 times in a row, but by staying you destroy your KD when you have these overpowered guys and their wraiths, raps and cerberuses all over the place.

[The Thorne]

In the past maybe but so few lobbies now there isn't anywhere else to go half the time also perks I use perks that protect against all 3 of those streaks unless Cerberus is manned if course in nearly every game I play there is no need to feed these guys.

Just stop capturing the flag and treat DOM like TDM, that's the problem the so called good players just farm the kills.
How often do you see the comment "My team sucks" and the player stating it has zero captures.

Oh but he was defending which he couldn't do if someone didn't get the flag.

It's better than having a 0.76 as a kd lol

I suppose kdr is important if you think it is but why not get it TDM if you're not prepared to actually help in objective games.

KDR doesn't actually prove much, camp, spawn trap, farm yippee must be good cos the KDR is over 1.00 lol

Capturing a lot does not help your team win. Defend B. Always defend B.

If you are the guy that goes to capture C when you team is holding A and B then you are the guy that is causing your team to always lose. If not, then maybe it is bad luck... but if ALL your games are lost, then ... well chances are you yourself are doing something to cause that.

I have a poor KDR as well but I don't play TDm much I always get 2 or 3 there and I played BO3 wrong at first , my Current KdR is deceiving I am much better than my stats show I assure you

[Black Jester]

I'm often on the losing team as well ... I put it down to me ... something I'm doing

[«pigrond»]

i agree with many of the comments above. dom is about holding down the point defending it. i hate when i get a random team that just runs from 1 flag to the next never holding anything. guys will have tons of captures and still lose. then they give me crap for sitting behind a rock tryin to hold the only flag we got. best strategy always get b 1st set up a class that lets you defend a flag hard and solo. then pray your team knows how to capture and hold at least the spawn flag.

What, only 150 hours in the game...light weight. You need to step up production a little man, try almost 1600 hours. LMK when you get there.
