Using the pattern
Team Balance is used to balance Teams in games that have TvT gameplay.
Team Balance isn't typically created by Player Balance since the advantages which individual members provide to a Team can be offset by disadvantages that member of other members have in the same Team, advantages that members in other Teams provide, or external modifications applied to other Teams to balance out said advantages.
Can Be Instantiated By
Drafting, Evolving Rule Sets, Orthogonal Differentiation, Self-Facilitated Games, Symmetry, Team Development
Patterns which can effectively be used to create Team Balance include Balancing Effects, Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment, or Handicap Systems.
Potentially Conflicting With
AI Players, Drop-In/Drop-Out, Empowerment, Invulnerabilities, Late Arriving Players, Multiplayer Games, New Abilities, Orthogonal Differentiation, Player Killing, Player-Decided Results, Privileged Abilities, Team Development
Consequences
The presence of Team Balance gives players a Determinable Chance to Succeed roughly dependent on the number of Teams.
