[...] the 3-hour running time. Unbalanced teams can sometimes end it early with a string of wins, but it is not uncommon to see time reach 00:00:00 [...]

I play on Fug’s arena server almost exclusively. http://www.fugtf2.com/

The community is public but after a week or so you start to recognize who’s who of the regulars. I prefer arena simply because you don’t chose teams and it team scrambles regularly. You don’t respawn until the next round so most players are forced to use some level of skill fairly quickly.

This happens in pretty much every FPS game where the only concept of “balance” is the number of players on each team.

Join a community instead of pubbing it all the time. Personally, I frequent at Team Funcom. Higher caliber than your average TF2 server and very friendly.

Too bad it’s so difficult to come from behind in this sort of situation.

That’s why most public servers should have “scramble.”

Ouch. Personally I hate being auto-balanced while a round is being played. You do everything you can to screw up reds chances and help blue and then all of a sudden you find yourself wearing a red shirt. Auto-balancing before matches is fine (based on past stats for example). Don’t know what can be done about people leaving a losing side though.
