To help with lockdown wait times for lower tiers and help with the leaver issue:

Would it be possible to have a checkbox for people willing to join in the middle of a game? Definition of middle can either be one team reaching halfway through the max capture points for the map or time. The joining window can expire when a quarter of the time is left, regardless of points.

If someone joins during the middle they get half their entry fee refunded, but will only get one Krogmo coin (win or lose). My thinking on this:

- half entry fee for half the time.
- 1 Krogmo coin for winning because you were only there for half the time
- 1 Krogmo coin for losing because you were trying to help out the losing side (plus there are no half Krogmo coins).

I don't think the joiner should get the bribe bonus (since they couldn't bribe) and I would be ambivalent to the rest of the crown payoff for the winning team. If they get it, great; if not, that's okay too. The symbol for leaving is X, the icon for joining can be +.

I can definitely see a good player joining a team that is down and turning the tide. I definitely would try it out as I like to give the other team a fight even when if the team I am joining is behind! (and if I can't turn the tide I will do my best to give them a challenge!).

Thoughts?

I am not sure about it. People could join in the middle and can win by doing less work. I think that noobs will take advantage.
