First, your friend was muted for spamming his mic while cursing, etc. He doesn’t have to explain himself for a mute that he felt was justified. As far as Raine goes, as far as I heard Raine wasn’t completing his objectives and was slain for it appropriately. While in some cases I do believe that this is a good decision, I also have the standing of that if clearly the bomb could not be defused in a certain amount of time and there is a semi-effort made to win the round, then there shouldn’t be a slay. If the player is making no effort and is staying in an area that is unpopulated by his/her opponent, then a slay is taken in effect. I do not know this situation, obviously, but knowing Raine I somehow doubt he was just sitting and waiting so I have said to lay a bit more slack.
As far as the team balancer goes: Seph, simply put, shut the *edited* up. We asked Liam to design the balancer to balance with wins and losses, to balance after a team has won 3 in a row, to balance players based on score, etc. We want it so that both sides have an equal opportunity to win and that one person isn’t stuck on a team that goes 0-16 while they also go 0-16. Stop *edited*ing about the balancer, it is working fine and you ALWAYS have *edited*ed about improper balance as well as *edited*ed about the balancer.
