You mention that you're "middle of the pack or higher" so you're carrying your weight (and ?therefore should deserve to win), but the other team must also have lousy members who are being kept afloat as well.

In the end, the problem can be summarised as Double Dipping, and the fact that you're working against the idea of team-balancing does earn a frown from me.

I get pissed off in games too when our team sucks too much (mostly at BF4's Team Balance not being perfect), but I consider swapping to a new server as being a "fair, random allocation" as opposed to jumping onto a team that you know is mowing down the other.

I do find your "desire to win" here strange given that you're happy with using subpar weapons that can cost you performance in order to complete assignments.
Yeah team balance in BF4 is almost all about numbers, not actual skill level.

I use the subpar weapons as a test of personal skill and to complete assignments, so I'm not exactly happy to use them, but I am happy to still do well despite using them. No matter how awesome I am with a particular weapon, it's still not possible to win a game on your own and without your team doing their part. I don't switch teams late in the game, I look to switch early on when I can readily tell the team I'm on isn't serious about winning. Of course, that's usually done by looking at the score, but I also see from the mini map where people are and what class they've picked.
