Is there any kind of rule against intentionally picking the worst players so the teams get auto balanced?

I just had this happen and it was extremely infuriating, and ruined my game. The guy picked the map which he got to play out, and then he intentionally picked all the low RWS players, and I picked high of course, so it immediately randomized them to "balance."

Only way this can happening is if someone subs out while teams are being picked, picking only the worst is normally blocked by rws like only picking the bests.

Because someone left its safe to assume that the balance is fucked, but normally if its not too bad (8 or 10 rws i cant remember perfectly) a vote would begin asking if players wanna play anyway.

I think being able to pick teams again instead of getting auto-balanced would be a neat fix (people want to be able to chose at least their first pick ! And since it doesnt do a similar bug for map, it can be considered unbalanced, since the guy who picks map might end up with his opponent first pick in extra due to auto-balance).

Have a great time on source !
