Persistent lobbies

[smoky panther]

Introdue persistent lobbies to improve the game experience.
Once you get into a lobby, you would stay in that same lobby after the match ends. It would save the players from having to wait for the next match to load, potentially for a long time.
The process would be as below.

• Join the match
• Play through the match
• After the match ends get back into the lobby
• Start the intermission that lasts 1 minute as soon as first person loads into it
• While intermission lasts, people can connect/quit
• [Optional] Add map voting
• Once intermission is over, the match starts
• [CRUICAL] THE SERVER YOU JOINED STAYS THE SAME
• Balance the lobby based on the previous match performance
• Have a text chat in the intermission menu

If there are below the minimum required players in the intermission lobby, disband the intermission after 30 seconds.

This would vastly improve the experience.

EDIT: Since some people don't understand. If you dont want to be in that lobby, you would be able to just leave it

Sounds pretty fun to have a lobby where my team repeatedly gets domed by the same people

[smoky panther]

You can just... Leave the lobby?

Although fair catch, i should add the thing where the game would balance the lobby based on the previous match

[steel pumice]

yeah, if the game can balance the teams then it seems like a decent idea

[woeful nymph]

the game cant balance the teams even without persistent lobbies. My optimism as far as this goes is pretty low.

[smoky panther]

The game has no balancing right now at all.

And that the lobby doesn't disband because there aren't enough players. It needs to have a minimum to start and not a full lobby
