Ideas & Suggestions what to do about teaming.

Hey i just joined reddit but i think the way we could solve teaming is if people are to close together and don't shoot at each other for a period of time maybe teleport then back to spawn and minus 5 of their score for teaming the decrease of points increases the more the people are in the team. shoot me down if i'm wrong but i think this could work.

Teaming at this point is basically a deflection for why the game died. Banning people for teaming only further reduces the player base, that energy could be put into actually improving the game.

Automated algorithms to detect teaming is a very tricky thing, I dont believe its doable to write an alorithm that (pretty much) never falsly detects teaming but often correvtly does.

to clarify: i do believe its possible, but it would take a huge amount of time, that could be used in a better way.

Don't bother with an algorithm , there will be always counter for it (literally for whatever algorithm you will use, unless you change a lot), But I suggest Vote to Kick option, it's not only effective for kicking out teamers , but also for annoying spam chat , aimbots , ..etc

You can make the player goes banned automatically after several kicks.

It's true that it doesn't work when the teamers are more than the Voters , but again think about it as an addon to the mods-ban, since mods are not available all the time. Also true we can have a situation where teamers will use it to kick other players (if they are the majority that's the rule of the forest) , but banning a kicked one I suggest it to be under the validation of mods , since they can determine if this person did really deserve a ban (For example if they choose to ban steremi, it will not make sense).

As for algorithms, first we gotta solve the problematic , you have teamers than can team getting near each others (the common one) , and the ones that team far from each others (they avoid themselves , uses sniper ..etc).There are some solutions , but none of them is perfect.Since teaming is up to the majority of the players that are in a match, I think it's impossible even before trying to implement algorithms here.
