Then if it was supposed to be a competitive team mode only for high-end teams, small groups, PUG's, and low-skill players shouldn't be allowed to play it. And / or put a skill-based matchmaker in place that offers some hope of quality matches where both sides have some reasonable chance of winning.
People can whine all they want about PUG's and casuals "not gittin gud nuf" to play FP, but that doesn't change the fact that any game mode that allows and even encourages stupidly one-sided games that are decided at pairings is a crappy, unbalanced game mode, not some pinnacle of "high skill."
Back to the football example again: If a sporting event organizer allowed or even encouraged random nobody teams to get their arses kicked by pro NFL teams every Sunday as a big televised event, it would be a stupid, boring, one-sided game that nobody would want to watch and quickly few people would want to play (unless the NFL team enjoys the easy wins.) Complaining that the casual nobody team just should "git gud" does not address the fundamental problem with the game mode.
Every serious game out there that is truly "high skill" has some sort of match-making in place to discourage pointless, one-sided stomps created by monstrous skill disparities. FP has no reason to be an exception, save for the try-hards who want their free kills against "stoopid noobs."
Amen bro this is what we tried to tell Russ and PGI from the beginning make a easy pug Fp mode so new players pugs and casuals could play learn the game mode then move on to a harder unit based FP game mode with units only if they choose to or be recruited by units in a huge Social game lobby after there entry trials.
But NOOOOO!!!!! Says PGI lets throw them all in the same POT unskilled untrained PUGS/Casuals/New Players against units it has always been a massacre and led to many players uninstalling the game.
What a waste
