Apparently (according to an article, I think Russian(maybe not)) HOS is going to have skill-based auto-balancing. If I'm not mistaking, this means that it'll distribute skill evenly between the two sides at the start of the game (as is done in Halo, CoD, etc). First of all, does anyone have information on whether this is true or not? Second, what are your opinions of it?
My take:
The intention of this is pretty obvious: to keep the fight fair. I see the reason behind it, but I can't stand the idea of not being able to pick which country I fight for. Yeah it's just a game, but I identify with Germany, and wish to fight with them only. Also, what if you join a game with your friends and you all want to be on the same side?
Of course there are also issues with how "skill" is kept track of.
anyway, if the game has it, I'll just drop whenever I get stuck on Russkiy
