BG Blitz needs auto balancing of Classes

Not of MMR, not of stuff like class movement or gimmick abilities, but in auto-balancing class stacks.

Just had to deal with a Deepwind Gorge with 4 druids, 2 balance, 2 feral, all on opposite team. It was not very fun. I wonder how easy it would be to have some form of code implemented that would shuffle teams to not have more than 2 of one class? Just something to mitigate situations where one team hoards all the individuals of 1 class.

Agreed. Seems like an easy fix to split doubles of any class.

So popular classes have to wait longer for games?

I had a game with 5 Warriors earlier. :dracthyr_crylaugh: Also had a match with 4 Rogues on my team in Deepwind.

…No? They just get sorted more evenly. You know. swap some folks from one team to a different one. If there’s somehow 4 druids, they’re all gonna end up 2 on one team, 2 on another, etc. If there IS a freak accident and there’s like, 6 mages in the game queue, it goes 3 on one team, 3 on another

If the druids are 900 1700 1800 2000 MMR how is just splitting them 2 and 2 gonna balance the teams?

MMR balancing should be the only consideration.

Probably shouldn’t have a 900 rated druid with the other 3. If only people that belong in the match are there, it isn’t a big deal to shuffle them around.

Why does that Druid have to wait longer? What if he was the top of the Q, had waited longer already?

System should be dealing from the top of the deck and players should toughen up.

RT is gonna random.

It would probably be infinitely better if you put a ai in charge of class balance.

What class balance really comes down to is a metric ton of math and variables. And nothing does math better than a ai a walking super calculator.

Possibly. Poorly tuned or designed specs aready have to deal with being handicapped, might as well get faster queues.

Or just split them evenly.

2 mws to each team and 4 sub rogues each

We did this argument already, the math does not add up.

Dealing the cards from the top of the deck is the only fair way.

RT gonna random. Embrace the chaos. Fortify your resolve.

I was more making a joke about how strong/popular MW and Sub is in blitz.

I embrace the chaos of blitz.

What is the explanation for 10 wins in a row shooting rank up, then having nothing but hot garbage teammates with low gear score and no idea how to play the game. Winning gives no rating and when losing its 20 per game

Had a game vs 4 dk earlier on an FC map. We managed to get the w because they didn’t have anyone capable of getting flag, but it was actually hilarious how miserable all the grips were making everyone. It was definitely weird that they didn’t split them 2-2 between teams.

I’m getting like 20’ish pts a win around 1900, I’m also in 2400-2800 lobbies though D:

Just had a game with 4 evokers and the entire team was constantly being AoE stunned, good times.
