Why is AUTOBAL not enabled for everyone?

[knightfeng]

Can we get AUTOBAL enabled? The 1100 ELO restriction has made all the AUTOBAL's empty. The greatest thing about ENT was the AUTOBAL it felt like solo queing.

Autobal used to be very popular. But the fact is that the player base has gone down so much that autobals dont fill much anymore.

The elo restriction was set to avoid smurfing with new 1k elo accounts skewing the balance.

If it was popular, wouldn't you want to bring it back to increase the player base? And setting an ELO restriction doesn't seem like a good idea to alleviate the problem if it completely kills ABAL. In addition, every game is going to have smurfs, no point destroying a fun mode just so we can play stacked games all day.

I seriously doubt autobal will work again. Ur logic is like asking non em games to fill once again.
I am not saying its impossible, but just highly unlikely due to declining player base.
Wc3 is an old classic game and I do hope it lives on as long as possible, but times change and people move on.

If u want to remove autobal restriction, I suggest you make a post under suggestion section with ur reasons to why no elo restriction. Suggestion: viewforum.php?f=9
