>Each day your code will be assigned to a team at random

so today (500 diamonds vs 7) server randomly assigned one guy that dominates vs 10 pretty bad players?

Yep, it is "luck of the draw", and the default hero brain, while very good at gathering diamonds, does tend to be vulnerable to the "assassin" roles.

Eventually we'd like to add a slightly smarter matchmaking system (assign users to games based on some sort of performance ranking perhaps?), but for now it's very possible to end up on a less-than-stellar team.

What's so strange about that? The majority are probably bad players.
