Can you explain how it works again ?

Who's sending the heartbeat ? the server or the clients ? or only lobby leader ?
This plugin will make every connected client including the server send out a heartbeat

Also, the higher your server rank is and the more players are connected, the more likely new joiners are for you.

If your Playercount drops to 4 or below it's unlikely you'll get replacements. However joining an empty enemy team seems to help sometimes.
Yea, but I have also experienced when someone quits, no one will join until a map change usually. This will fix that issue.

If you are lobby leader playing the game, look at your console, it will show you a bunch of info of connecting player requests and stuff. If you are not the leader, you will not see that info.
