Can't swap teams mid-match


(Violator) #1

Teams were 5v4 and stacked in our favour. Tried numerous times to swap to even things up (esc, Change Teams -> attackers) but nothing happens - just keep respawning on same team.

Also every match I have played all night I have always been put onto the same side:

Terminal: attack
Trainyard: defense
Chapel: defense

I kept being put in attackers in Trainyard and Chapel, which I found odd. It’s good someone else had a similar experience.

Good in the sense I am not just paranoid, it is actually an issue.

Team swap is off in competitive matchmaking. As the mode uses a ranking system having people swap teams during the session breaks the ranking calculations and undermines the system. As we’re forcing people to test ranked this weekend we’re seeing slightly more people leave than would be normal (folk who would normally play casual), which highlights the locked out swapping more.

In terms of team sorting it should be random and fairly well balanced, but I’ll look into it again next week as a few others have reported being on one side way more than the other.

Was funny, after I posted I ended up attacking on Chapel next game (though it was a one off :D)

Still yet to play attack on Trainyard… Only had one on attack on Chapel and one on defense on Terminal.
