Some experienced players are abusing balance mechanics for their own interest to pay less maintanance and earn more gold.
This trick always starts near the end of 2nd round,When they estimate their own team will lose several rounds in a row, they will switch to spectator (sometimes suicide to spectator after exp & gold tick ), waiting for autobalance. When teams are autoblanced at beginning of the 3rd round, one or several players of the winning team are dragged into losing team, they will try to join the winning team, and I guess they have a roughly 50% chance to achieve that for teams were already autobalanced. if they failed, just try it again. 75% chance of success to be in the winning side at the begining of the 4th round. Even if they failed to switch side, they have chance so get important players of the opposing side transferred to their own side.
I suggest:
The one that switches to spectator from the two teams (not by joining the game), whether dead or alive upon switching, should be stuck there for at least a whole round.
The one that does not respawn in time should be kicked into spectator. some high-level charactors can enable opposing side have several more level-30 charactors and their names just are red for entire round.
