    I wonder if 24p servers really are more popular or are most people like myself stuck joining them because they are all thats around.

    one problem is that the game ends if people quit a small game

    11v12 is less of a problem than 5v6

    also servers die... even if people leave after game is finished, the damage is done.

    the whole matchmaking is horrible for actually playing the game the way it appears to be designed

    I'm glad to hear there are some random team mods that attempt to be smart, but I think they could still be made better without too much trouble.

    I don't know if Shine does this, but DAK random assigns everyone a new team one or two seconds after the round ends. This is a problem because players tend to go AFK or leave the server shortly after the end of a round. If they've already been assigned a team, then the balance may already be ruined. Also, this frequently opens the door for further unbalancing by allowing players on the bigger team to swap to the smaller team at their own discretion.

    From what I've seen from Shine, everything is vote based. None of the random stuff is forced on. Players can vote to random teams for the next round based on scores, and to force random teams. To combat the afk problem I've included the auto-afk kick feature.

    I'm sure it works, I'm just not using it right now.
