Bug Skirmish Battles; Uneven teams

[Keache]

Just thought I'd make it known; don't have much info on it, but I can say that usually when there are six or more players in the skirmish, the game likes to throw four (or five or six?) people on one team while leaving two on the other. This doesn't happen EVERY time, but it happens more often than not. It NEVER happens in a 4 player match.

My current hypothesis is that skrimish doesn't recognize when you're partied with two other players beforehand, so when you get matched up, the skirmish tries to throw your two friends on the other team while giving you two or so people to join your party. Since it can't kick your two friends who are already in the party, shit gets messed up, and you ultimately wind up with a 6 v 2, or something along those lines.

I'll try to update this with any more information I can find.

I have noticed this as well.

I will pass this thread to alkarin so he can see it, and poke him on IRC

I thought it was fixed, as it did happen quite a few times in the past.

Really want to get a fix on this, Alk has been alerted and hopefully he will prod you guys a bit more with questions.

I'll see what I can do

HotFix: When you see the dreaded "Red vs 2", after the first inevitable fight, everyone should leave the party before re-queuing.
If someone queues you prior, /p leave, /skirmish leave, /skirmish join. One key can be bound to all 3 (I think, at least 2), using the server promoted macro mod.
