As I said in my example, if banner balance is on and working properly, it can happen that 5 clan "pro's" with the same banner are lined up against 15 players with different banners.
Trust me, that makes it hard and at the same time rewarding for both sides, in my opinion. Bringing down "pro's" with some teamwork is as much fun as for the pro's to being challenged by having to maintain a 3:1 KDR in order to win.
i maintain close to a 4:1 kdr and having to face clans all the time , i still think its BS and unfair to face clans most of the time , with witchcraft (TS) and quality over quality (dedicated players with skills and looms to go with) you get to win far more often than you lose
When i was playing crpg back then the shuffle without banner balance gave a nice random touch and matches didnt end up all the time 3-0 5-0 4-1 etc...
The only exception is i was always VS Fedor and his morning star of crushdeath lol
as you guys love to say : i could deal with it , but constant fighting vs clans is no longer fun to me when im the only guy that kills people on the other side ,
I gonna end up switching my banner and mess up with your abilities to play with your friends :p
