Next round : teams balance themselves out as they should. No more 10-3 starts to CTF or team rounds

[creeperskelly 1,281]

Personally I am sick and tired of new rounds starting with massively unbalanced teams - it is not only unfair but it gives one team a huge advantage in early scoring that usually affects the entire round. Sometimes there are times when the early battle timer doesn't apply and it gets frustrating watching the slaughter.

 

A battle should never be allowed to start with uneven teams. 10 - 3 at the start of a round is just stupid.

 

I propose the following:

 

At the beginning of a new round there is a slight pause - the team roster shows up prior to battle and each team can see how many people are on each team.

 

If one team only has a few players then the top players from the previous round from the winning team can play. Any remaining players from the prior round go into queue where their names are listed highlighted under the top players according how they scored in the prior round as well - thus indicating they are waiting to play. As players fill up the team with fewer players then one by one the waiting players from the prior round can enter.

 

If there are spots open then those who fill the open spots can enter once all the queued players have entered.

 

If the people in the queue don't want to wait then they can drop out and a free spot opens as it normally does.

 

This way each round begins with an equal number of player and the top players from the winning team of the prior round are guaranteed a spot in the new round.

That's. . . interesting.

Maybe this can be toggled on or off. . .

Some people just don't like to wait.

 

But it's a pretty good idea to make gameplay more fair.

 

But hopefully not just get sent off to PRO pass only. <_<

Like what happened to Private Battles. <_<

Yeah. Yesterday team lost coz of a noob rank.

To illustrate the problem better:

 

 

This should not be allowed to happen. Why would any of the blue team want to keep playing? By making a queue it would start the round on an equal footing giving each team an equal chance of winning.

grea idea

Awesome idea!! One time two of my friends and I went 3v7 in TDM...Ridiculous...even when we somehow won. This shouldnt happen.

why not make them switch teams instead of go into que

@KPie112: Forcing someone to get kicked off a team?

No thanks. I chose that team for a reason, and I don't want to leave it.

Not my fault the other team sucks. Obviously the other team may have some problems.

[creeperskelly 1,281]

Forcing people to switch teams just to balance them is a horrible idea.

 

Making them wait in a queue based on score is totally fair - it encourages people to try to do better and even if they don't they can still rejoin the prior team once the other team is balanced in terms of players.

Balancing teams at beginning  of round needs to happen. I like this idea "BIG :) TIME". And I would like more time to study the "BATTLE INFO" sheet. I was never a speed reader. How about 30 seconds. Even 20 seconds would be better. That would give the computer time to see who leaves :tank: , so it can make better team decisions :D. And it would give the tankers time to stretch their fingers :P !

 

Then I would like to know what turret each player used. I want to learn what works best on each map. Sniper is not much good in "NOISE".

 

And while I am Christmas shopping, I would like the "BATTLE INFO" that is displayed during the game, to be "Team Info" side by side, not over and under. That would give instant team size comparison.

Team stacking seems to be rampant.  I usually try to join battles where the number of players on each team are close to equal, and the ranks are fairly equal on each side.  So often, just a few minutes into playing, the number are 3 to 1 or higher, and all of the lower ranks are on one side.  Most of the time when a battle is like this on small maps, you can't even spawn without getting killed.

 

Players just get automatically transferred at regular intervals (every 60 seconds or so) to the other team and respawn with no penalty when teams are unbalanced to a certain degree - rank should be considered in the formula as well.

This is a great idea, but i think that it should be random ( like every 2nd player or 3rd player or even more random gets transferred) either that, or the new round should start off with a scrambling of players so that anybody could get transferred randomly. The new round could get equalized that way.

[creeperskelly 1,281]

I think it 's a bit more fair to reward the better players with guaranteed slots in the next round. Otherwise you get people joining at the last minute who didn't fight for the team possibly getting first pick in the next round.

This is a great idea, lots of promise for this topic, hope this gets implemented! :)

great idea but needs some more improvement
