Bad balance when new players join

Post by ribx »

We have this problem especially at noon and at the beginning of the evening, when people come and join for only 1-2 games and leave again. The teams are not too big: about 6vs6 to 8vs8.

1. A good player joins, and because teams are small will change the balance, this team will keep winning.
2. As a result a low seat (from the lower ranks) player will be assigned to the loosing team, which is now a person more.
3. Now another good player joins and ends up in the winning team, because autobalance moved one more person to the loosing team.
4. This circle repeats itself until we end up with something absurd like this:

I saw the other post about balance and I would wish that we could do balancing more aggressive. While I enjoy playing in the weaker team, I certainly do not prefer to play 1on5 :)

Also, if I balance manually I will be punished by having to wait a minute to rejoin, and in most cases I cannot even join the loosing team because they have an additional player (point 2 above).
