I was in the game where Ex got swapped, and ended up with the bomb on his back, and also, I think I’ve autoswapped from T(I know due to autoswap indicator during previous round, though it could have been admin) once and ended up on CT with a glock. I’m guessing that means that I got swapped after the round started. I never thought this was a big issue; I’m more concerned with the ATB’s balancing.
Part of the thing could be the score based balancing. For instance, I’m ranked 88 with 2218 points. That’s around the upper-middle of the point curve. But based on my usual playing performance, I really should have around 1400 points. I’m just very erratic, and occasionally kill Chupa (<3), Citan (<3), or fRosT (<3) by accident and get a point “spike.” That doesn’t make me good, and I think the correlation between score and KDR ingame is very weak.
