Unfortunately, injuries are possible during a walkover. I'm not certain the logic behind it, but it's definitely a possibility (well, and obviously it just happened). This topic seems to come up once every few seasons or so. Just terrible luck .

I think your argument there is one of balance, which is the key of any online game. However, I think in this instance you're wrong.

In fact the team that is innocent is being punished in several ways. You don't get the minutes you would from a "proper" game. This negatively affects both game shape and training. There is no positive in getting minutes for training and GS. There simply isn't.

Further, you can get an injury. In a game that isn't even real in the virtual sense. That's a further negative.

Thirdly, you get a win by 50 when you could have won by any score. Three negatives. No positive. No balance.

Injuries in walkovers can only be something that hadn't occurred to the programmer. Its clearly a mistake. Its something that warrants fixing much more than the blank lineup that I remain convinced was an intentional feature.

In a walk over there is no game . So why is there a injury?

Because if you didn't get training minutes, you'd be punished for someone else forfeiting. So in essence, the answer to your question is the same as the answer to why you shouldn't get injuries in a game that doesn't occur.

I wasn't going to respond to the other EGM, there's no point, but discuss with one, you may as well discuss with two.

So you mean the BBs not changing injuries during walkovers when the people complain about that, going back to the dark times of BB while changing how BLU is working and will work show that injury during WO is a bug and BLU is intentional. That's an interpretation.

How is removing injuries during walkovers going back to the dark times of BB? I don't even know what you mean by the dark times.
I can't really respond to your comment about changing BLU shows injuries are a bug. I didn't say it did.

Thanks to both you and Nickleon for those explanations. As I said before we don't agree on the logic, but there's no point in my repeating my earlier post.

why you asking me I'm not a BB GE programmer. I think its silly. If there no game, give the team who set hosently 48+ mins . no pts.. problem solved.

How is injuries a risk when there's no game.. the game should give the minutes to the fair team as a bonus.. the players should not be playing period. Again a cop out answer.
