I totally agree with sdogg2m.
I dont know about the others sourceop server but, even without auto-scramble goldrush used to work well. Let me explain.
Team stack happened? Sure. A lot of times. But after a couple of rounds people started to switch between teams* and then without noticing, the team were balanced again.
*people leaving to the stack team, and good people from stack team going to the other team.
There are some reasons I dont like auto-scramble:
- As stated before, some people join a server (and the team) his friends are playing. Autoscramble make it almost impossible to play with someone you would like to.
- If Im attacking this round, I want to the defend the next one. With scramble you may attack 3 times in a row.
- After a couple of rounds, your team adapt and become really competitive. After the scramble you will probably see your team full of snipers and without medic. All medics went to the other team. Or the opposite, your team with 6 medics.
- Completing what I said above, after a few rounds you know what your engineer is planning to do (or did), how your medic works and who you may follow or not. With scramble you have to re-learn how the players in your team play.
I do also like the idea of GoldRush becoming a Payload Rotation. I love payload.
