AUTO-BALANCING TEAM GAMES

Could we add a new kind of team games, with auto-balancing functions?
Many team games fail even to start because not balanced; indeed, as reasonable, higher ranks concentrated against lower ranks cause the abandon of wiser players.

I would just add that it seems not too difficult to realize this new option. The system should easily recognize the ranks in game and split players as equally as possible. The rest (range of ranks admitted, durations, etc.) should be decided by the host as usual of course.
It would add less predictable games, favorizing "melting pot" and friendly inside the community.

Yes this could be done but it would not you to pick a country that you know how to play. Leading to an even bigger problem. Example:

I join a world war 2 game. I can either pick Japan on the axis side or Russia on the ally side. I would prefer Japan as i have played it tons of time and I am more experience with it, but just because of the rank based team balancing I can't play Japan. This forces me to play as Russia. If I mess things up I spoil a game for 17 people.

Further more, what if the rank based team balancing only allows a rank 2 to play Japan? Logically speaking nobody would want some one not experienced at all to play a major country.

Solution: don't play garbage unbalanced scenarios and rely on balancing system

You're right, but I wrote that host should decide the ranks range allowed (0-15, or 7-15, or 10-11, or whatever), whic is presently an option for every prem account. You just decide (or agree) the ranks range, accordingly to your liking, the system will split "equally" the teams, the players chose (and can discuss it) as usually.

Players have to decide wether they want to play a good (balanced) game or a shitty (unbalanced) game. In the end the "underdog" team will abandon the game and everybody looses (some with SP and other without).

What about a option in games like "Balance Teams"?

How would you balance teams? If its by rank no :/ If its by stats sure

Can make options like ; balance to SP , balance to win stats.You can pick one of them with asking to other players =)

Everything has be said. The rest is up to the players to choose garbage or fun (and thrill).
