Blockwars re-balancing

[hossg]

Hi, I understand that re-balancing is necessary in case multiple people are disconnected because of internet, making it unfair, but I find that 90% of the time, they leave because their team is losing. I have had so many games (about 20%), where I am doing really well, killing lots of the opposing team, and one of the top contributors to my team. Unfortunately, the other team starts to quit, once they realize that they're soon to lose. After this, me, or another of my poor team is sent to the losing side, just to be defeated by their own accomplishments while on the other side. I think this could be fixed by taking into account if one team is winning by a lot - if the game is at the point of no return, simply have re-balance turn off. I love every other aspect of block wars, but this just seems to ruin many good games for me and other players around me. Also I would love to see a lumberjack kit with an axe (:
Thank you, your server is awesome!

can you give us an example, how should we fix the issue? I will like to see a kit with axe too. since there is a lot of axe user.

Yes! Plz do something! I have had the same thing happen to me. Although how to fix... uh... A lumberjack would be cool (:

Maybe instead of balancing teams by moving players, they could give the smaller team a buff for every two players missing. Just example, a speed 1 buff when they have two less players than the other side.
I also think the axe kit would be cool. :)

I dunno, it sounds gimmicky to me

Yes, good idea! That is really smart! I was going to suggest when it's ten health to 25 health halfway through the game they turn it off, as an example, but I like that idea more, clever (:

I consider rebalancing fair and unfair but if it there would be not, the game would be bad. Just try not to die when there is rebalance

Respawn queue:
If team red has 6 players and blue 5, if one player from red dies the player needs to wait until someone else of their team dies to respawn. This way it's still fair and the players stay on the same team.

Wow that's a great idea! Any of this would be greatly preferred to re-balancing.

I completely agree that there should be a better way to rebalance. Like, the team with fewer players gets a health and attack boost.

But what would you do while you wait? Sit there and be bored?

I also don't like the team rebalancing, I think they should make it better, maybe to do with buff ups

Gonna tag some staff ;)

Spectate the game.
Hey, it's better than being moved to the other team or not?

 

[Ellie Williams]

Spectate the game.

Nice idea.

Will a mod see this? I'm new to the forums - is it likely that something will be done? I just had another game where almost the whole other team quit, starting a reballance wave. Please!

Rebalancing makes me cri evrytim. When our next Blockwars update rolls around, I have some ideas on how to better handle the autobalancing issues (as well as some other nifty ideas!)

Ive probably lost about 10 games of blockwars due to team rebalancing.
