Make split more balanced, can it be implemented?

Just a suggestion:

Can splitting lobbies focus on NOT dividing players into skill categories, from what ive noticed this tends to kill lobbies, and instead split a room more balanced-wise by for example not putting all higher ranked people in a lobby, and all lower rank people in the other lobby.
Also this sometimes provides a miserable gameplay experience for people in the lower ranked lobby, as for lack of a better word a large percentile lobs around.
The higher ranked lobby firstly tends to live longer, and secondly provides a better experience imo, of course you could say theres some bias here because i often get thrown in the lower-skill lobpot.

Edit: Im not sure why i got downvoted, it was just a suggestion.

Isn't that just a regular small all teams lobby? I see a lot of rank variation there. And if you have a big lobby split it's still about 6v6 so I don't think it'd be that bad. Also if this hasn't been tried before I think it would be a good experiment

Well, yes. When the teams room is small the experience is often miserable for higher rated players. I think you will find if you randomly drop in on the teams room when it has 10 or so active players, the purple and higher blue people in the room are far more likely to be spectating than anybody else is, because they know that if they joined as a player they would get a dumb game.

If you go back and look at the threads in which high-rated players wanted a lot more ability to play in their own rooms and not have to deal with the newbies, you will find I argued against them as well. This is because I am a sucker for arguments on the Internet I am trying to find a reasonable compromise so that we all get to have fun playing the game.

Isn't this the case already? Last time it split for me it split at >40 active players (out of which 32 would have played otherwise and rest remained on the waiting list).

The bad experiences are because some people don't care that much about the team, but maybe there should be more social pressure (ask them to stop, ask them for help, report if they really do horrible stuff, etc.).

well Aquanim that sounds a bit racist.
It doesn't matter to other players what those with a higher score may or may not enjoy.
It interests everyone that a game doesn't have 45 players.
I think it is the case that after the twentieth player the program automatically applies the room split, preventing the players from returning to the original room

not in a bad way, but yes there is no difference between players.
It doesn't matter your level, it's important that everyone has fun.
It doesn't matter if some get bored.
I too am bored waiting for 42 players in the waiting room,
But it doesn't seem to matter much, when split enforcement is only applied at the request of the player (who is often criticized for this), but it should be an automatic thing in the game.
Zerok loses quality above 10 v10.
It's a fact
