Please Balance Casual Teams

I don’t really get the complaints about balance.

Some games my team is useless and don’t contribute. Other games I am useless and don’t contribute, I try but it just doesn’t work. I never ask for a shuffle or anything like that.

Because other games my team is MLG and we just roll the opposition. Other times it’s a tense fight the entire match, with one team getting a plant / defuse in overtime. Rare, but it happens. (Best games IMO)

And that’s the way it’s been with FPS for a long, long time. You can’t predict that someone won’t bring an engineer, or a medic or whatever. You can’t predict that someone refuses to look at the scoreboard and make the decision to not be the 4th Vassily on Underground, attacking the first objective.

IMO the onus is on the community to make games more balanced.

If we’re talking about matches where there is a different amount of players, IE 3v7, autobalance should be implemented to fix that, although that will come with a whole new set of issues, mainly salty people leaving games regularly because they know that somebody from the ‘winning’ team will get bent over and put on the losing team, giving the salty some twisted sort of satisfaction.

Well, considering what was said in stream today it sounds like we will no longer have as many issues with balance as we used to. Since games are going to work like how MM does now and you’ll most likely be matched against other similar private ELO players. I’d wager there will be no more min10/min20 servers or even max5 and it will instead try to make matches based on skill. Also, servers will only be 6v6 so that will help significantly since balance in this game gets thrown of a lot with 7v7 and especially 8v8.

So you have your wish OP and everyone else who has been asking for a fix for a while.

So, what about community servers then? I heard they were going to implement the feature in the near future, but I suppose it’s not going to happen after all. That’s too bad, it really was the feature I was looking for as well as what DB needs to build up a community and be more successful.

Where are you getting that from?
From the stream it sounded like they still wanted to keep the server browser in some form and having that for community ran server makes sense.

Must have misandurstood then, I’m glad it’s still one on their TODO.

That’s very good but they should hide player lvl too if they implement this for balancing.
