Hello everyone,
I am here today with my opinions about balancing system in game. I am not an old player here but I am very active since I started playing this game and so far I noticed that balancing system isn’t that good. On public servers a lot of players are saying “Unbalanced teams…” and so on and I think that they are right. This game lacks a good balancing system which will make teams more equally. Here are my opinions about that balancing system:
Balancing system for making teams:
That system is one of the worst systems that I have ever seen in all MMO games that I played. It looks like it makes teams completely random. Few times at the beginning of the match I pressed TAB to open scoreboard just to see what levels are in team and there was something to see 
. In one team were players that was lvl 20+ and in other you had few players that were less than lvl 5, with others that were around lvl 10. Right at the beginning of match I knew that this won’t last for long and it didn’t. Match was finished in about 4 minutes and it was terrible. Lot of players says that level doesn’t matter but that’s not true, because new players (especially players with lvl less than 3) doesn’t even know how to use Merc abilities and if you get with those in team - well that’s not good for you. I know that they should be playing in special servers (servers that allows levels till 6), but they are still joining to regular public servers. In my opinion balancing system should defenitely take in considoration:
- Player’s level
- Player’s accuarcy
- Player’s playing hours with mercs that are currently in his/hers squad
Shuffling system:
That system appears to shuffle teams also on random. I remember a match in which shuffling passed and after shuffling teams become even more unblanaced. Then we called shuffling again and it passed and teams were a bit better balanced than in the beginning. Problem with that system is that very rarely passes because other team doesn’t want to shuffle teams because they have an advantage and even when that vote passes there is a big chance that teams won’t be balanced (they will be just remixed on radnom and nothing more). So, shuffling vote should be easier to pass (it should require less votes and less cooldown untill calling for next shuffle) and it should balance teams.
Auto-balacing teams:
This is a feature that is missing in this game. This game should have auto-balance teams which will activate when teams are not equally in number of players (for example when there is 5 vs 7). Since upper mentioned systems are not that good in game, players tend to leave if shuffle can’t pass and then you get a match in which you have 3 players vs 7 players. In those cases auto-balancing system will move 2 players from one team to another but those 2 players should be picked by a balacing system so that we don’t experience unblanaced teams again (but this time in skills). Auto-balance should be a feature that will trigger automatically, without any vote, when there are un equally teams.
Question for DEVS:
Do you have any plans with improving balancing & shuffling system? Will those improvements come in next update?
I know that all of you experience all those problems mentioned upper and something should be undertaken in those matters. Please comment this discussion and also give your opinions what should also be improved with balancing system. You can also post your experiences, pictures of unbalanced teams, bad shuffling and so on.
Best regards,

Yes, they are even but only in numbers of players in each team. I would say: “teams are sometimes even”.
