How do you balance teams

[mothers lament]

so i type /balanceteams? I know I'm missing something....

You can only do that if you're admin. If you aren't, the command is "/vote balanceTeams" iirc.

/vote balance

there's no real point to the command, by the way. it only balances bots, not like, skill...

Even if it doesn't use any information available to it (order players by kills, total xp gained this game, xp/m since joining) a generic team scramble option is useful from time to time.

Does the balance command use any information available, or is it an rng scramble?

/balancTeams balances according to kill ratios since joining the server -- top player on team A, next best two on team B, next two on team A, etc. While kill ratio isn't a perfect proxy for skill, it works even better than skill in many situations, effectively distributing the kill-focused players, an imbalance of which can create very frustrating situations for new players.
