Make Autobalance actually balance the teams

[Spook Island]

It got fixed for a short a long time ago  while when it balanced every round, but now it appears more broken than ever.

It definitely doesn't account for banner stacking very well at all.

EDIT:
Just an example I dug up out of my screenshots

I feel bad giving this man a +1 but I must.

is there any suggested,alternative balancing algorithm ? if not , i consider this a QQ thread...

[Vibe]

Bow = kick
Crossbow = kick
Horse = kick
Bow/Crossbow + Horse = 10 day ban
STR crutch = kick

everything is balanced

No need to get so completely defensive about it.  It just doesn't work.

Calling it autostacker would be a more appropriate name than Autobalance.

Will be 2vs2 server then...

WOrks as intended I guess and works fine IMO.

It doesn't know how to compensate for banner balance and it loves stacking all cavalry on one team I've noticed.  Id say it's about 50/50 for hit or miss.    I've got a few pictures of ridiculous team balance I could post, but most people realize it's unbalanced to say the least.

Bad example... the smaller team even has more wins than the larger. If you look at the total score, these teams seems pretty balanced.

Teams should NEVER be that lopsided in numbers

You can't just stack all the elites on one team and stack all the peasants on the other.

Except in that crazy case where one team has all the armor using players and the other has the leather using ones.

Banner balance is fine, it stacked 6 versus 38 one time the site went down. Reason? 6 in full plate versus about 34 naked, weaponless men and 4 fully armed people trying to supply the rest of the team with weapons. Just so you know, the full plate won every single round.

Winning every single round because one team had all the good players is not balanced.
I really don't understand how someone can legitimately say something like that is fine.   Even when they try to explain it an end up contradicting the entire point they are trying to make.

I will reiterate.

Teams should NEVER be that lopsided.
Autobalance should not be stacking the teams round after round.

How about having x amount of a banner on one team, increasing by y of the total server population?

So what you are suggesting right now is that the team in full plate should have received more players from the naked-man horde?

Skill is not factored into balanced, level and armor is. A good amount of those naked players were skilled, they simply lacked the equipment to fight. In my original post I claimed the cause of the victory of the 6 was equipment, not skill. Learn to read. You have no point by marking red pieces of my post that may be twisted to help your case.


Bottom line, you're still an attention whoring idiot.
