Is this balancing?
Look at the screenshot below. Not a single autobalance was done in that (short) match, but some other times in (a lot) better balanced games it occurs. Why Anet? Why?
Auto-balance doesnt look at ranks. It just moves people when one team has +2 players.

in every game’s public open server, you will have things like this. get over it.
you can’t simply “balance it” there, because people want to play with their friends.

Not sure if trolling, but the auto-balance in hot join is a feature designed to keep team numbers balanced, so if a couple of players drop out and the game goes to 3vs5 it will auto balance, randomly swapping one player over so the teams are 4vs4 (even).
By the way you can also change teams manually in the score page by pressing a red or blue arrow, but only if there is a spot available (u can usually do it at the start of a new round to play on the same side as your friends.)
