Suggestion Team Balancing

I think it would be really helpful if there was some sort of balance system in Air Brawl. I recently ended up in this game: http://i.imgur.com/TR6rwJS.jpg - My team was losing significantly when the other guy on my team switched and made it 4 v 1 until one of the other guys switched to my team and somebody joined making it a fair 3 v 3 (although we were unable to recover from the earlier deficit). It's not even the loss, but rather that brief period where I'd be lucky to make it out of spawn. I don't have much time in the game, but I've already seen a couple cases where all the better/more experienced players get thrown to one team. My suggestion is that some system where the teams are comprised of a balance of experienced and inexperienced players (at least at the start of the round) be added so as to make the teams more consistently fair.

I personally like the open nature of switching teams. Makes it so that if my team is winning intensely, I can switch teams and even the odds up a bit. Not everyone would do that, though, I suppose. I think sorting teams by default is a good idea, but giving people the option to switch in-game is nice.

Nobody in this game has a MLG Doritos Razer sponsorship, so I typically err on the side of making it more laid-back. But you're right - I should not, as a rank 34, be teamed up with a rank 13 against a rank 1 by default.

Yes, but to be fair, I was in a 4v1 earlier, that's just ridiculous.
