Make Games Auto-Balanced

Postby Xenon » Fri Dec 16, 2016 10:17 pm

To whom it may concern,

I frequently play the [ENT] Dota arem us/ca #__ games on ENT38, and there is a lot of bitterness in the community these days because the games are almost always stacked. This is causing a major problem, as stacked games take 3 times as long to start because people will leave before or during the countdown because it's not worth playing, knowing that you are going to lose.

The !Votebalance option would be great, if enough people were on board for it; however, from my experience it is almost impossible to activate this setting, as the stacked team is usually unwilling to vote and/or people are AFK before the game starts.

I urge you to please take action and auto-balance each game via ELO. You (ENT) are one of the only bots hosting public DotA games these days - at least on US West - and you have the power to make them a lot more enjoyable for everyone, not just the upper 50%.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Xenon

The amount of users having to vote for votebalance has been reduced for other games (LoD & NWU), too. So we could reduce it for DotA as well if it isnt already instead of forcing an auto-balance.

Due to smurfs, etc. it is impossible to have really balanced teams in WC3 anyway, imo.

Re-post with aRt)Y's idea, and we'll likely approve it given at least a little bit of community support.
