Auto Balance = Joke

[SomethingShooterDev69]

I find it an absolute joke, Even just then i joined a game and second round i got shoved onto the team of quitters..

It happens all to often and believe it should timestamp when people have been swapped so it finds a player who has not recently been swapped.

Anyone else find it a joke/have thoughts about how crap it is.

Are you referring to being autoswapped in casual?

Correct, the team auto balance in casual

It literally affects nothing. It has no affect on your rank or standing in anything. The reason you were autoswapped is because you were the last person to join. It happens sometimes. Just play the match and try to swap back when you can. If someone else joins after you, you won't be autoswapped.

Obviously it has nothing todo with rank in a casual game....
Also was not the last to join, but it does effect the play when trying to play as a team or with a few friends.

I guess each have their own experience with it

If you care that much you are more than welcome to make private lobbies

again, Obviously.. I guess general discussions do not apply any more.

Seems more and more its about doing private matches or non casual to play this game without headaches.

Trust me when I tell you it IS the last person who joins. I don't care what you say you think happened, I won't believe otherwise. I've been playing casual almost exclusively for just shy of 5000 hours and it is always the last person who joined, unless the last person who joined was already on the team who was short players. Then it goes to the previous last person.

Then how is that balance? its just evening play numbers?
This aint a jab at you, its a jab at the logic implementation.

Welcome to Players from CS 1.6 who care more about their friends and communities rather then solo players who only care about themsevles

Auto balance doesn't mean it has anything to do with player skills or rank. A lot of casual players (like myself) aren't ranked or have very little play time so the system would not know who to swap based on skill. So basically it just auto balances the number of players on each side. Not trying to be rude here. Just trying to explain it better.

All good man, i understand where you are coming from / just explaining what you know from it.

I guess the term `Auto Balance` to me means something different to valve.. While yes the best way to balance would be to look at the KDR ratio, people would hate even more when a true balance got applied.
