Battleground issues and how to fix it

1) Spawn camping

Spawn camping is bound to happen no matter what, however a suggestion I have is to either have spawn switch with the other team and forcefully switching the other players at their spawn, having additional spawns that can spread players out on both teams with it being accessable from the main spawn, or allowing a randomized part of the map exits on spawn that will teleport them. Spreading players out is the ideal situation to prevent spawn camping.


2) Cowardice - Not participating and hiding in a corner should give players a warning that if they don't participate they will be removed from the match and given a matchmaking ban. This can be circumvented by participating in the objective, dealing damage, getting kills or assists. You will not get any activity for just healing or tanking damage. 15 min matchmaking ban should be good?


3) Spawn hiding/inactivity

Simple fix: Force people out of spawn in 10 seconds, if someone has this happen to them 3 times in a match remove from match and matchmaking ban for a while.10 minutes?

just some ideas I have, you guys think its good or bad?

    Forgot to clearify with the assists, healing someone eon the objective or taking damage near or at the objective as a tank counts as part of the objective.

    The only part of this I agree with is making the time you can stay in spawn much shorter. I've heard a few people make cases for team shuffling, I don't personally think it's necessary outside of the team shuffling that happens naturally as part of queueing into a random group as a solo player. I'm a big believer in "live by the pug, die by the pug". I treat solo BG queues like doing Random Vet Dungeons, if the team I am given is really that migraine-inducing and terrible there is an option for me to leave. No drama.

    What really needs to be fixed before anything else major is added to or changed with BGs, is stopping the monthly MMR resets and to a lesser extent making "casual" mode the top option before "competitive", so new players arent sent into 4v4 as default.

    Those two changes would be a huge step towards making the BG experience better. Other things might not even seem like a problem if the lobbies were fairer.
