    I've been playing on the lazytown server for a while and know that the auto balance is a needed thing, but I think it could use one improvement, not auto balancing when last is being pushed. Numerous times I've helped on the final push only to switch teams and loose a few seconds after spawning. I know auto balance immunity is a vip perk but I think all should be immune when last is being pushed/defended.

    I'm fine if this is ignored but I think it would be very nice if accepted, thank you. :)

    Our current autoscramble plugin doesn't allow this option, so I would have to modify it. It is a great idea, but currently my time is limited.

    As the server becomes more popular, I might implement this feature.

    I was guessing it was significantly harder done than said. I'm glad you like the idea and understand why it isn't going to happen anytime soon. Thanks for for the reply. :)

    I'd like to agree with this post, understanding the time and effort that would go in to implementing it. Reason, it is no fun when all your hard work and time of play goes to your own loss as you are switched in the final minute of a team going down. If ever possible, this would be a great addition to fair play. That being said, thanks for the great Lazytown server, love it and the VG community.

    Well here is my suggestion.

    Autobalance automatically disabled if:

    Capturing the last point (Team)
    Phlogistinator Crits (Pyro)
    Diamondback Crits (Spy)
    Buildings Setup (Engineer)
    Heads (Demoman)
    Killstreak (Any class)

    That is all I really can think of at the moment, I know there are more things.

    I think the additional ones would completely take out the autobalance immunity perk of paying vip players. People who wanted that perk would just have to use a certain loadout to circumvent it. Also, the killstreak wouldn't work because you balance while dead and thus have no streak.

    Oh true. Thanks for pointing that point of view out.
