Valve's TF2 Autobalance

Recommended Posts

They tend to just go back to the other team when possible.

Not a problem on our TF2 servers thanks to autobalance enforcer. Should probably add this to DODS as well. It's been a great success in TF2.

It is indeed. I don't know how it's on US servers, but on UK we have the odd problem that players with lowest score get auto-balanced, instead of high ranked. That never balances anything out, usually.

It's not targeting players with the lowest score. They might just be more lucky so they get autobalanced more often :).

Are you sure? I've been watching that for a while now. I actually wanted to take it up to you first, but then thought it could just be a lucky thing like you said.

When the message pops up "auto balance in 5 seconds", those 5 seconds passed and high score players die, nothing will happen to them, or at all. As soon as one of the lowest players dies they will immediately get swapped over. I hear people complaining about it a lot, especially friends that just joined your game, your team, and then after the first death get switched.

A person with a worse balance score is preferred, but if no such person is available it will balance anyone who's dead.

I just always thought it moved the last person who joined over. Thats why they could be confused with lowest score.
