Way to often all the callahans and gran fausts are all on one team. Either the score is 30 to 900 ish or the other way around. At the moment, I think it's based of of your "rank". Normaly this would make sense, the only problem is the ranking system dosen't make sense. At first, I wondered why I won all of my matches, then my rank went up to player 800 something, and I lose much more than I win. Seems like higher ranks should win more, becuase they should be better. I'm thinking of just making a T1 knight, ranking up, deleting him, then making a new one to undo my rank, since teambalance isn't gonna be important in T1.
Basicaly, just try to split up the weaponry. If there are two DA's, then keep them on different teams at least two out of three times.

I agree the current ranking system is pointless; your rank goes up every game regardless of the result, so it's not measuing much except your total number of games played since the last reset. If they are actually trying to use that to balance the teams, that is COMPLETELY insane.
Something like ELO rankings would be a good idea for balancing teams (even if they aren't visible to players). If that's too much work, you could just do it by win/loss ratio for the last hour or something, most games seem to have mostly the same players for several consecutive matches so that should at least break individual players' winning or losing streaks pretty fast most of the time.
@DrLequack: You might run into a problem with your plan of making and remaking tier 1 knights, which is that getting into a tier 1 game is hard. Or at least, when I decided to try tier 1 lockdown to see how it compares to tier 3, I ended up waiting in the queue for about 10 minutes without finding a game before I gave up. Judging from the player numbers I saw several times yesterday, there's only a total of about 7-10 games of Lockdown in progress at any given time across all three tiers.
Also, you need to save up 75 krogmo coins to get a reward you can cash out and transfer to your main knight.
