The issue with "open" in houses is that it becomes hard to place the less experienced players. Even when placed well, they need to be matched up against each other. As seen in that game (Technically game 3) Cuddowls got pooped on top, and Vulk in mid.
In (technically game 2) the winning team put Cuddowls in a role where his impact was limited. A support not getting fed/farmed doesn't matter compared to a carry or jungle. Which meant that the more experienced players were all playing roles that could freely win a game at will essentially. And that's what happened.
I suggest (as I did on the previous page) if we end up doing more of these "open" in houses, we need more structure. Meaning that sub 500 win players will be matched against each other WHERE/WHEN possible. Otherwise these in houses aren't much of a learning experience (per say).
Additionally we should start posting the roles we wish to play IN the thread(s) created so we can possibly set up a relatively fair set of lanes. That's just my opinion.

because the inhouses you have set up have just been a shining example of balance
Never said I did the best job either, I know Lugi did the best he could and it's not like I'm mad or criticizing him, i'm just saying the teams were unbalanced.
Really appreciate your constant positive attitude towards me though, makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside :)
Well i mean commenting on "balance" when not having a good track record of "balancing" is like a social studies teacher explaining thermodynamics. Im not saying your in houses were always unbalanced, but when they were it made for some ****astic experiences. Glad to see you're keeping a positive attitude and not letting your mistakes hold you back night.
edit: That came off a bit harsh, I know I haven't hosted any in houses because I don't have the sense of responsibility required (yet). It is difficult to host especially when some players disregard the rules or won't play unless their needs are met. It's hard to get these things going especially when people join but leave if they're not satisfied. What needs to happen is a crackdown on "rule breaking" as well as an enforcement of the idea that CnC in houses ARE strictly meant for accurate comments and critiques of players. Of course they're supposed to be fun too, but it's hard to have fun if there isn't balance or if some players don't take the in houses as a way to help each other IMPROVE their game.

Issues I had with organizing:
#1: I was late. I got pulled away to do something at 3 and it took longer than I expected so I was still a tad flustered from that.
#2: People who came in semi-uninvited didn't want to listen to me and, the Kitties always had to be together or they'd leave.(or so it seemed) That needs to be resolved for every and any inhouse where there is more than one of their team.
#3: EU players make it a bit harder to balance when they're not 30.

Thank you to jhoijhoi for the sig, and all the dividers in the guide.
@Jeffy
I know lately my balancing hasn't been that great, I just think after balancing like all of the games last month I didn't do such a bad job there were only like 2 or 3 of my games that were unbalanced, just seems like everyone is focusing on those instead of the rest of the games lol xp
@Lugi
If the kitties leave, the kitties leave, not the end of the world lol, granted I've had that problem a couple of times too.

You need to log in before commenting.
People really need to post their normal wins and elo when they join this, lots of people didn't, I imagine that made it fairly hard to balance correctly.
Agreed.
