Please randomize teams between maps

It seems silly to me that the teams always stay the same from map to map.

Unless the teams are evenly matched, why bother staying in a server for more than one map? You already know who’s going to win after the first game…

You’re joking right? What about all of the people who want to play with their friends… this would completely destroy the games only competitive edge. I hate to say it, but either get some friends or stop sucking. You’re bound to lose games eventually. Use it as a learning experience, you don’t get better from always winning.

Your points are all kinds of conflicted.

I don’t want to always win. I don’t want to always lose either. I just want it to be mixed up, not the same time after time.

You say to play with friends (AKA stack the teams) to win, and then you say “you don’t get better from always winning”.

“Competitive edge”? I’m talking about public games. If you want to play with your team, play against other teams instead of pubstomping.

In team games do you know how frustrating it is to play with people who aren’t on the same page as you? I can’t stand playing with other pub players due to the fact that they might not be bad players, but they just don’t communicate the same way. I’m sure I can speak for many that if the game randomized the teams each game, a large portion of people would stop playing. I don’t want to play with strangers who half of the time don’t communicate, I would like the option of playing with my friends when they are on. Why don’t we all just shoot rainbow bullets and throw rubber duckies instead of hand grenades while we’re at it?

From your first post, you said “You already know who’s going to win after the first game…”. It was from this that I figured you were upset about getting “pubstomped” to which I replied, make some friends to play the game with. At least while the pubstomping is occuring, you’ll be able to laugh with them.

Additionally, at no point did I state that I was playing with a team. I simply said I enjoyed playing with my friends, whether it be three or five players, it makes no sense for the game to mix us all up. At the same time, there is no way of balancing the teams based off of skill. We have all seen how skill rating has gone horribly awry before.

The only answer I can give you is play with bots. It seems that you are frustrated with the fact that teams join in and play well together and you are on the ass end of that deal. So if you would like to mix it up, crank up the difficulty on the bots and play with them.
