Custom Load Balancing

namespace [...]
{
    using System;
    using Lavalink4NET.Cluster;

    /// <summary>
    ///     Provides a set of load balancing strategies.
    /// </summary>
    public static class LoadBalacingStrategies
    {
        private static readonly Random random = new Random();

        /// <summary>
        ///     This load balancing strategy uses a random player.
        /// </summary>
        public static LoadBalacingStrategy MyLoadBalancingStrategy { get; } = (cluster, nodes) =>
            nodes[random.NextInt(nodes.Count)];
    }
}

The above example will choose a random node.
