Semi urgent: in-game balancing

[zakhennahr]

Need an in-game balancing mechanic.
With new players coming in (Which Is AWESOME), balancing can be difficult in the lobby iteslf, since it autostarts (thanks blizzard, everyone wants it your way, assholes). And then experienced players quit, sometimes we pend invited, to try and balance. But yeah, in-game balancing mechanic has to happen very soon as CC starts growing again.

Well, since I don't like necoposting, lol, or apparently the search button... I'll make my point in the other threads when I stop being lazy, but I think the reasoning for it is pretty important, the CC community (CCC? C3? Something else fancy?) excitingly growing a lot recently.

You can set the lobby start timer for a game to be 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, and 30 seconds. Partial solution, but it's out there.

If we were to raise the game start time to 30 seconds, would that give us 25 seconds or so to swap players around before the game starts, or would the teams still be locked in and we just stare at the countdown for a longer period of time?

[Red-Rocket]

start timers used to be 30 seconds before people figured out how to change em

[Degra]

Teams are always locked when there's only 5 secs left.
So yes, 30 secs should give us 25 secs of balancing the teams.

Tbh though, 30 secs seem a bit extreme.
15 secs would be fine.

[Red-Rocket]

20 seconds is fine >.O

20 seconds is fine >.O

it wasn't one of the choices..
