lopsided teams at the start of a match


(Press E) #1

I’ve had a few matches lately where DB will create a team with several players down. It’s not that any of them left, because it happens the moment the merc selection timer runs out in the pre-game lobby and DB creates the teams. Has anyone else run into this?

You mean like lobby locking and starting match with 1v4 ? Happens a lot. It’s because automatic shuffle is done at the end of a match. If people leave the lobby, there won’t be another shuffle and the game will start with a team composition based on the end score of the previous one.

Still waiting for the shuffle to be done at the start like @shoe asked in february (http://forums.dirtybomb.com/discussion/39079/shuffling-teams-in-server-browser-matches/p1)

I don’t remember that happening before though, which is why it weirds me out
