The Knockout mechanic really needs to be changed

I wouldn't say it needs to be changed. 100k is quite a lot after all. This never happened back when we had 22 rounds instead of the current 11. Every game has had multiple times of this happening, yet I have yet to remember when we ever had it happen originally.

To be fair, this is right after they made an update to GC, so I'm sure they'll do something to prevent this from happening anywhere near as often as it did now. Whether it's increasing the round count or increasing the lobby count, I'm sure they'll change something for next time.

I also have a situation where literally no one can move. All of the areas have knockouts. Even the other two armies can't move.

Yeah that’s what happened to me; all knockouts. no one can do anything

Looks like it's going to be a regular occurrence at the beginning of a battle unless they increase the KO threshold for just the first round to compensate for people just gunning it right off the bat. I'm not so concerned because it's not normally a problem except in first and maybe last rounds, which leaves 36 hours in which it's not hard to find play.
