Perhaps a lockdown feature?

Here'd be the situation.

You have entered a team in Lockdown.
Your team can not hold against the skill of the other team, and eventually you and your team-members are unable to leave the spawn until the game has ended.
Very annoying. But with this feature, the table would be t-urn-able (get it? (me neither))!

To increase balance in a team, players should receive have a sort of damage/defense buff or even an instant kill feature!

Of course this feature shouldn't be distributed at random. Let's say a player has been killed three or four times in a row without killing/making a certain amount of damage.

This should be both temporarily use-able and limited to use upon killing a number of players, otherwise it'd become exploitable.

What do you think of this?

Don't consider it all a buff,

Don't consider it all a buff, even though I said that in the title (which is a mistake)
Lockdown can be unbalanced and unless it isn't being fixed by nerfing items, I think this feature would be coming quite in handy.

The television died a few years ago though. So no thank you.

okay :|

Well, this is what I am thinking...
This goes on both teams, correct?

Well, even the super pro winning team has some noob. That noob would eventually get the one-hit-kill feature and actually help destroy the opposing team.
then thats a no-no cause the OP team geta some help also.

This is the problem here, right?

"eventually you and your team-members are unable to leave the spawn until the game has ended."

Put lasers behind the barriers of each team, making spawn-camping harder. Or, I dunno, the team could coordinate and sneak out with recon cloaks, capping all the points in the back that aren't being guarded? Just a suggestion.

About being trapped in base... bombs, guns, sword charges.... the barrier protects you but not your enemy.
If you all go together as a team , you should be able to push them - if you still die, then the other team deserves to win.

About the idea:
-Mist bombers are always killed in a row without dealing significant direct damage.....
-Guardians and recons can focus on their shield abiltiies instead of attacking to not deal damage but still help the team.
In both cases, buffs will be wrongly applied since, altought no kills were scored, such players weren't really bad.
