and that situation is worse than manually balancing it how? people can still swap spots once it has decided teams. If you know someone has the wrong score you can account for it and if you don't know then it was going to happen anyway.

Uhuuu...

I've played this game enough to know that some players are worth a lot more or less depending on the spot they are put. That's why a certain person always puts me in the opposite front spot on Setons when I join it's lobby...

I've had games with 90%+ balance where the stack was 100%...

And then there are players like IKatherine who keep their score down on purpose...

The other advantage of the balance button (aside from speed) would be the objectivity. Host could press the balance button, all the players would be shuffled instantly (with the highest game%), and nobody could whine about stacking.

Balancing would not take so long if people just stop trying to move around while the host is sorting things.

It would be cool to be able press "balance" and then all of the non ready players would be assigned accordingly (as opposed to the team: random solution which scrambles everyone).

The code needs to exist first.

By the way, random spawn & autoteam should do it already, unless someone broke the function.

How about a mod/option for auto balance (host-option during a team game)?

It seems like I (and we all) spend time in the lobby while the host tries to move people in order to create the highest game percentage. It seems like this could be automated...

All the host needs to do is pair off the players in similar skill brackets to mirror each other. Starting from the highest rank and working down to the lowest. If, for instance, there is a sizable gap between the two highest players. Then the next pairing down should favour the alternate team.

Eg. If a host needs to balance 2200, 2100, 1700, 1500, 1400, 1400. Then it should be:
2200 vs 2100
1500 vs 1700
1400 vs 1400

Are you sure you always get the best match this way? Can you give a reference to a proof on that? Because I am not convinced of that.

That's what takes forever now (at least in my experience).

A button would expedite this and also make it 100% objective.

I'm not familiar with matchmaker.

What I was thinking of is that you have 8 players ready to start a 4v4. They're in the game, ready for host to start, when they say "balance". The host then tries different iterations of teams in order to achieve the highest game %. This takes time and could be automated with a simple hot button called "balance".

Automatically scrambling all players in the lobby to an even balance configuration is something different form the matchmaker? It merely both deals with balanced teams.
