why no balance?

Simple: add a balancing mechanic for Blockwars, not sure if there is one already as I do briefly remember a balancing mechanic from the original Blockwars (I think that is true, not 100% sure though.) So for example; I just played a 8 v 4 game as nearly all my team left. So for example, to balance my game you could move 2 players from the other team to my team.

Yes, and also add a balancing mechanic to Tower Defence. Last week I played it and there were 6 players in the game. We had 5 players in our team, and the opponent only had 1 player in their team :c
I still feel sorry for them xd

They removed that kind of balance system because if you are in the good team and the whole other team leaves. You can get switched to that team and that can be very bad, losing even if you played in your first team for a while and maybe even captured a flag.. I agree that it can be unfair tho

EXCUSE ME DID YOU JUST SWEAR ON MY CHRISTIAN MINECRAFT SERVER!?
On topic: Let's just say that you are in a team and the whole team abandons you. Then, suddenly, the enemies keep pushing and capture your flag. That wouldn't be fair, would it?

Possibly there could be a certain period near the start-ish of the game where teaming balancing is enabled, once the game is nearing the latter half then teaming balancing could be switched off. There needs to be some way of making the games fair.

I did and yeah I totally agree that there has to be a way to make it less unfair, but I don't think this is fair either.

That could be a solution, staff doesn't listen tho so just play in a party so you know your team won't leave ya :v

There’s already a balancing system. Whenever there is a difference in members between the two teams. The team with the least players is given reistance and its respawn time is shortened.

I somewhat noticed this in my game, but clearly when there is this big of a difference in teams it doesnt help at all and more should be done,

What bug?

Honestly, when the system was implemented, it was one of the worst things ever.
People who fought hard for the flags and carried their team could get placed in the losing team, only having defeated themselves. People who were 'balanced' into the losing team often left, so other people would be 'balanced' into the losing team as well. Even worse, some people started trolling.
It just a very unfair system to balance between teams during the game.
Yes, it's unfair for a team with less players, but that difference isn't balanced in any other game as well.

Like I said to @Choban I was thinking at the start of the game or until halfway through- team balancing could be enabled. After half way through the game then team balancing may be disabled. I think this could be a fairer way to balance as I dont think much can be done in the 1st half of the game and once the game is half done then no one will be able to switch teams no matter how unbalanced.

Someone can easily get two captures in the 1st half of the game and then... woops! You got balanced to the other team. Sorry!

If anything, this should only happen at the beginning of every match. That way,
teams can be "equal" in number, and there won't be any necessary changes afterward. If your team quits on you, then RIP, because
"team" balancing isn't fair for the players that were loyal to the other team.
Just my 2 cents.
