Couple of questions

[ZaphodX]

Hiya,
Oldschool beta player here, back after a long hiatus. Been reading through the
forums and was hoping someone could explain some of these terms people are using:

1 Stacking
2 Bashing
3 'Balancing' - This seems to be used in an abstract way, is it just balancing players to even the skill levels of teams? Is this a bigger issue now to organise even teams pre-game?

Thanks.

1. having lot's of players with high rating in one team, vs. the exact opposite
stacked <> balanced
2."noob-bashing" playing games you know you will hardcore win, sometimes comes together with "smurfing" (the creation of a low rated account in order to get easy victims)
3. yeah balancing, there is a gamequality in the top left hand conner of the gamelobby, 100% would be optimal 0% is rubbish
people sometimes fail to interpret these numbers and it's not more difficult to balance team games like in GPGnet but it became possible to do it more "exactly" (whatever this means)
