Team Game - Side Selection

I'd like to see something which prevents player wrecking team games by swapping sides.
For me the best solution would be to have teams randomly assigned on game start, although that might not prove popular with some.
Possibly it could be weighted so that the total player levels on each side were the same.

Another technique would be to prevent people changing sides but you'd have to cater for people leaving and rejoining till they get the side they want.


The basic problem I am trying to get around is people wrecking team matches as they start or beforehand.

I do agree. Have an option where it's "Randomize & Balance" automatically and puts the players in teams with the closest level balance. However keep the same number of players on each side(unless scenario). So when you join a game it doesn't say "Team Alpha" and "Team Beta" it's just one group with a title and description saying "Teams will be Randomized & Balanced")

I like the "Randomize & Balance" idea a lot. It would save time spent trying to make fair teams.

What if you want to play with your friends?

This is a great idea, please implement as an available option if possible.

Added to the to-do list; it is a neat idea.
