Why do you spawn on one side of the map more often in BAR?

Spawn location distribution comes from the maps start position layout and can look skewed in individual samples, and kickbans from desync resolve quickly for spectators.

Spawn location distribution

If you notice consistently spawning on one side of the map, check your stats over a large sample. Bar-Stats tracks your spawn history across all matches. Many maps have start positions clustered more heavily on one side. The appearance of bias is usually just map geometry rather than a bug in team assignment.

Kickbans and desync

Getting kicked from spectating due to desync happens occasionally and the kickban typically clears within minutes. Desync occurs when your replay file version does not match the game version running on the host. Updating to the latest BAR client version prevents most desync issues.

Green fields and energy

On resource maps like Glitchy Fields, wind generators can be replaced by solar collectors when economy shifts favor metal income over energy. Solar provides steady baseline energy while wind fluctuates. Switch to solar when your metal production outpaces your consumption and you need the stable energy to support T2 defenses and unit production.
