I have to laugh at people that have this response to the question. I mean obviously 1 player can make up for a team full of incompetents...
I make no claim of being a great PvPer, but the people I find myself teamed up with Republic side on my server are staggeringly terrible. I regularly go 10+ matches without a win. Obviously this will vary by server and even time of day, but man did I ever pick the wrong server to roll on ><
