People just join the battlegrounds for the credit they don’t participate, it makes the teams uneven. How about some sort of mechanism where they have to damage the enemy every so often and cannot remain still in spawn.
Secondly, the timer is way too long, and people wait until the last second to troll people. It gets old.
I would argue that it’s a bug because it’s not working as intended and it should have been in there already. An oversight. But whatever; seriously? Reddit? Come on Blizzard you can’t run your own forums?
