What's truly annoying (as Waffuru pointed out to me) was that all the levels were reset recently and so the people who were playing far more advanced matches are now pushed back down with the rest of us until they get their levels back and get the hell out of my matchmaking zones. So they're all assholes.
And yes, they're incredibly unhelpful if you're struggling which is infuriating. I've been good at games before and know how it feels to be on the other end of the team, with newbies dragging you down. What's interesting are the rare moments when someone actually teams up with you like they're supposed to (squads in BF anything that actually act like a squad...it's happened to me maybe twice? Probably should have had a mic for that shit) and acts nice and helpful. But oh no, everyone sucks and is a newb. Yup. Play more and don't suck. Oh well, time to go find something else to do!
