As alternative to joining a specific guild team, there should be a way of joining a "guild team pool" that works a little like the "random team pool". Players should be able to just join the "guild team pool" and stay there until they click "leave". This would have the following advantages:
- Don't have to rejoin guild teams after every match.
- Allow for dynamically assigned teams of other sizes than 4, if it's not possible to find a match otherwise.
- Random player gets left out instead of player that clicks on the button the slowest. Less control = less frustration among players.
- "allow random" Checkbox: Players that don't make it into the guild team could be put in a random team for the duration of the game if they choose to use that extra feature.
... and stuff...
Guild team pool matching example that might work well: Pool members get whitelistet for Setup B after A minutes of waiting:
A : B
2 : 3 vs 3
3 : 5 vs 5
4 : 2 vs 2
5 : X[3..5] vs x-1
6 : X[2..4] vs X+1
7 : guild team vs random team
8 : 3 guild vs 3 random
9 : 5 guild vs 5 random
... or something like that...
The explanation seems too complicated, but i would like to see the teams dynamically sorted instead of a constant 4v4. It would be cool to have it as a 3v3 or 2v2 if there are multiple guilds that havent got a team of 4, just like how the random team queue works. I have seen 13 ppl in the guild queue waiting over 10 minutes for a match to start!
Another advantage would be... i could create a guild team of 2 ppl and play! that would be great when inviting new ppl into the game "Hey friend, wanna play bomberman with me? us 2 versus"
