I agree you shouldn't be able to join a match late for IB. Had my fair share of joining games more than halfway over.

A functional system in a situation like this would wait until it has 2 people, then add 1 to each side at the same time. That's an obvious and intelligent design. A functional and fair system would give people the OPTION to join matches where a player has left or been disconnected, and ideally show them the scoreboard first so they can choose whether it's worth joining. Sometimes people just get disconnected and the match isn't lopsided, so it's totally ok to jump in as a replacement. And if a team ever loses half of its players, the match should just end. Game over, start a new one. Just more of the MANY, MANY basic yet somehow unaddressed flaws in the PVP system.
