I like to suggest if you can change the star system so it will get a little bit balanced, maybe use most of it as of the div system like pickup.net uses, like 1 star of open 2 for high open, 3 star for mid and 4 star for high mid and 5 star for prem. Maybe it wont get to unballance just saying.

 

Thanks

And what are the star based off of? How do you decide who gets 5 stars? How does your system make balancing better? What are you suggesting that's different than what we have now?

At the moment, we are using data from lobbies played ( http://beta.tf2playerrankings.com/) and league experience. We still have tweaking to do as, but regardless the stars are more for user perspective than anything. The balancing is based off of ranking.

But only tf2playerrankings is used to balance teams, the stars are just for show, is that right?

It provides an idea of the experience of the player taking competitive experience into account. Functionally, stars determine whether a player can play in a class or not. We are still tweaking the calculation mainly because of the latter.
