There should be punishment for teamkills. Like, getting 5-10 teamkills (quite common for those "good" players) automatically leaves them with no coin, score. No matter how many kills they make. Or autokick. Or autoban from playing team games (both guild and random) for 5 minutes. Nothing serious. Just to make people aware they're not the only member of their team when they play team game.

Alternative: ricochet. It means you deal damage to yourself instead of your teammate.
Alternative 2: shared damage. Either you both lose some health (2 teamkills and you're dead, they're not), or you both die (enemy team gains 1 score.

Abuse? Can someone not join a team just to screw them up?

The punishment for teamkills

The punishment for teamkills is that the other team gets a point.

Thats not punishment. Look at

Thats not punishment. Look at how teamkills are punished in other games (please no more of this "we protect intellectual property by not looking at the example of others" crap) - they either kick the player or punish them in some way. I don't know a single game where you can simply TK anyone on purpose and always get away with it.

Thats a really bad idea,

Thats a really bad idea, because it's (at least almost) impossible to implement a [jumping into your teammate's bomb blasts like they're made of cotton candy & free ponies]-punishment.

I'd guess AT LEAST 50% of the teamkills are:
- Caused by a clever enemy
or
- Not anticipatable by the "bomber" (a lot can change while it's ticking)
or
- The fault of the one who got killed

True, there is no need to

True, there is no need to punish for each and every teamkill, but if someone boasts he's 'best' player by having 8 kills, 0 deaths, they should consider they made at least 7 teamkills (those I paid attention to). And there is no "teamkill" counter.

It's Blast Network. Team

It's Blast Network. Team Kills are to be expected. We're just lucky that you can respawn before a new game starts.

Now, a team kill counter would be nice.
