Unbalanced Cross Server is Stupid

[kaitsuna]

Yeah, the CS / CST / CSTT brackets being a bit off also doesn't help a lot. I'm in PST and I feel bad whenever I see people from s225 in my CS games, since when you're level ~55 and have ~400k BR in a game where 1m+ BR is usually the low end of the spectrum, you're probably not going to be doing much. Especially not in Transport mode. But the way that the brackets are set up, if you want to match them against people with around the same level / BR, you'll never get any games because they're the only server in that range in the entire server group.

They should not be using win/loss record. Simplest would be total BR. Not sure if it neccessarily balance but at least is would be a start. When my BR is 1.5 mil and i am the highest and the other team has 4 players higher makes for a frustrating pvp match.

Yes I know you get the chests regardless and at least makes it worth while to show up. But makes the matches boring. And I have been on the flip side were there it is impossible for the other team to kill me. That is boring too.

I play the game for entertainment and competition.

make team balanced on BR , and then u will have the same players of allways winning , some ppl like compressed builds , some ppl may "cheat" removing pieces from team to lower br , 2 heroes teams , Players with BR too high sended in low br teams because the system cant find a proper team for them

[kaitsuna]

If you balanced the teams on total BR, everyone would run solo main in CS. I suppose you could do highest BR historically (the same way CS Tourney calculates match-ups), but BR of a player is still iffy to calculate with.

When you average it out, the amount of times you get put on the butchers team, versus the amount of times you get put on the cattles team are pretty much identical. Im not the strongest player out there, nor am i the weakest, im 1.7m br, capable of killing players up to 2.9m. My W/L ratio is 54%. Some days, i come in and 4 matches, 4 wins i get my rewards and call it a day, some i come in get slaughtered 4 times in a row, call it a day. Just about everyone on my server, regardless of strength, have an average around 50% win ratio. Its not not as bad as people make it out to be, yea, ive been on teams that have 3 players over 3m and my team highest is 2.1m and me, then the following match my team stomps the enemy 1015 - 75. Its all luck based.

Also, overall br means nothing, cause some players like ohkitsume mentioned, run 2-3 man parties, some pour all their resources into one hero and leave all the rest pitifully weak, some train all heros equally, some have dodge/hit rating over 25k and have no need for heros at all. There is no solution to making balanced CS matches, theres always a player that will make you kiss their feet, even if they made it to where theres a br bracket, i kill players over a mil br higher then me, yet i still get killed by players around 900k br, theres no way to accurately measure out balanced team in CS, so stop complaining about it, and if your that butt-hurt about it, save your ego and feeling the pain and stop playing CS altogether lol.

The improved that a little I think but if u have 1x 3m b.r. the rest are 500-600 b.r. and the other team have 3x1mil + rest 500b.r. that means u lose side mines = lose if the 3m b.r. person isn't active to clean mines....


SO there comes the idea in my head... might not interest u at all cuz again there comes the un-balanced thingy again(cuz some servers are ahead of others) ... Solo Que and add a Team Que so u can invite your friends atleast if your losing u will be with your friends.

u can have a both team with only players of 600k brs , and there are high chances 1 or 2 players will never die , balancing BR wont lead anywhere .Team Qeue would be nice to hasten queue times , but neither will bring balance , but i like it anyway .

[kaitsuna]

I don't think Team Queue's possible unless the LoA devs learn how to code. d:

I used to play with friends from my server / other servers all the time, though - we'd just queue up at the same time and if we were stuck in a really bad match-up either we'd be on the same team or we'd just chase each other around the map and have fun killing each other. c: What's a little murder amongst friends? Would be cool to have a feature making sure we'd get on the same team, though, but again, it's not likely to happen and it can be easily replicated by just hitting 'join queue' at the same time.
unfortunately i can no longer do this because we're in different server groups now even though my server is literally days older than theirs

Lol, this isnt Halo or CoD, i hardly think that would solve anything though to have party matches. Would basically be CS tourny without the brackets
