I am kind of under the impression that team balancing is somewhat based off of the performance of the player in the last game, and I think that is not a good idea. From patterns, i notice that the team balacing breaks on the second game after I join. This is because I joined the first game towards the end, and only get like 5 kills. and then the system thinks i am throwing, and so it puts me on the stronger side. I think if we want to look at past performances, we have to either ignore the people who joined midway, or just judge skill solely off kills elo. An even beter solution would be to take the average of the games and kills elo.

Levels don't really present their skill very well
High level just means they have played for quite some time, but not necessarily good

No traction with the bucketing by ELO approach you proposed earlier?

I have sort of come to the conclusion that a full match (16 players) cannot really be balanced in a TDM if there is 150 -200 difference between player with the highest ELO and the rest - pretty hard to get a lobby with enough talent that the team without the best ELO player gets a stacked enough team to win.

Your sense? nobody thinks its broken? or nobody wants to invest time in a fix they are unsure of?

well when my team has only guest or people with lower level than me (level 11) and the other team has almost all high level players, it's hard to get any kills

Nobody wants to invest time in bugs that only affect a small portion of the player base
Most players r 1500 elo
So they can't really feel the affect of team balancing. Because they don't contribute that much to the team

OK, thanks.
