    The time before a battle begins is precious time you should spend on collecting resources and building defenses. It's a shame that many matches are off to an unfair start either because the teams are imbalanced or not everyone is quite ready (afk to fetch a drink for example).

    Therefore I suggest adding server lobbies or warm-up time where people vote for the game to start.

    It's probably something that people have thought of, but I thought I'd just put it out there. We need this ;)

    We don't need this. Not everyone is going to play for a full hour or however long it takes a game takes and people join and leave servers all the time. And if your team mates are AFK to start of with, kick them from the team. Game can easily get unbalanced by a few new people joining the other team anyways. We also already have team scramble at the start of a new game anyways. If anything, just delay team scramble for a few seconds.

    I disagree with you, but at least there should be a short pause between matches. You get thrown into a new match unprepared.

    Then leave the server/go spectator until you are ready to rejoin.
