Seriously, WTF.
Look at this: http://images.akamai...3D0FCCAE1C3328/
Info:
Before match started, there were 4 people in the lobby: me, Chicki, this "diegulipolas..." guy, and incoru(which was just 'conecting' at this time)
I have ~~2120 MMR, Chicki is about 2300. Worst person at the time was at 1300 MMR.
And... balancer put me and Chicki in the first team, and these two newbies in the second one.
One of them has 5h playtime, another less than hour. They both have atrocious KDR's, so they're not smurfs.
What happened next is peacenotwar joining into our team, then someone tried to connect to the second one, and GO_PLAY_TETRIS joined our team(meanwhile this person connecting to other one quit).
So, result is: 4 2k MMR+ players against two <1500MMR newbs.
WTF?
That situation with GO_PLAY_TETRIS and peacenotwar joining to our team is understandable, maybe.
But what was that thing with putting 2100MMR and 2300MMR in one team and two 1300-1400MMR players in another.
Devs, maybe some explanation? How is that possible? Does 'balancing' code just compose teams randomly? I always assumed that it tries to make two teams have as simillar MMRs as possible, but it doesn't seem it's the case.
