    yay or nay? as in agreeing to you or in agreement with being assigned teams?

If it's agreeing with you then.... NOPE! There's been less O vs D and D vs D games. It's more fun when both have O.

It's supposed to be which team caps most. It's not supposed to be one team O and one team D, and if a cap is made the O team wins, if no caps are made the D team wins.

You can't win with no offense.

Defense doesn't stop caps...offense does!

    Drippy, What does the server take into account when balancing the teams other than last player to join? This might help to understand better as I for one missed that part if the info was shared. I noticed once I was switched and it said I would remain there for the remainder of the round. Which I don't argue is fair as I hate someone team switching back and forth when ralphy moves them if they can get away with it.

    Ok, that is what I thought. Someone said you did it by "skill" level. I was thinking that might not be right.
So LG is refering to the fact that you cannot change back to your original team even if the teams are uneven again. "Assigned to a team for the duration of the match" after a "auto assignment" is made is what is annoying him. It did annoy me that first time it happened to me but I can live with that.
I don't see how it can cut down on the OvD and DvD matches tho as stated above.

    the completely auto assigned matches are rare since I do them manually, but still, why do you hate balanced teams?

You don't get the option to switch back now thanks to the people who would leave to get someone else to get switched, then join back to their original team.

Hey now, there are plenty of players that would rather join the same team because of conversation versus who's better at killing and capping flags. Besides, what is all this "serious play" getting us in the long run? Not much more than stats on a page, it's not like there is or probably ever will be another competitive TFC league. I'd trade all the above to foster friendships that will carry over to other games and such any day.
With that being said, I see Drippy's point of view too, nobody wants to stick around on a server where they're constantly getting their ass handed to them every time they step out of spawn, so somewhere in between the white that Drippy wants and the black that LG feels is needed, should be a nice happy gray. It just needs to be found.

Balanced, the game has been auto balancing for years 6 v. 6 etc.. Requiring no team movement is just constrictive.
I usually like to join the losing team, lately not possible with this assignment thing. The rage quitters bump me to the winning team. Second what makes forcing a player to be on a team balanced? The sever already makes sure they are even. Ralph has no way of knowing a team players skills, if it did then this assignment thing might work. Just my opinion.

    hell let drippy even the teams out, me I look for certain players like reddog or olinkapoo, I stay away the likes of Tanya or the famous mic spammer no names mentioned here see other thread for details....I just find I play my best when I play with the best, hell I love being d against stunner or walnuts. give me a nade to kill HRC snipers! all depending on whos playing is what class I play, I love offy I love D hell I love pissing off the snipers, I just fold myself into a blanket and play, then I get switched console says I have to play that team for the whole round, ok, D scout...that's my answer whenever I get switched, today though I saw a glimmer of offy and hope and we won I went offy and helped kick some ass. Spy as fatty ....go figure..

    I think it's a wonderful thing. Granted, when I'm stuck on a team with 4 base snipers I get frustrated but meh. At least I am becoming more well-rounded class-wise.

That's slightly counter intuitive.
