I might be in the minority in liking pure blob rounds, more in concept than actually playing them though. Unlike most of the big obvious antags like syndies and wizards, everyone can contribute in ways beyond 'cannon fodder', even if it's just whacking the nearest bit with a welder.
Also I honestly think pure blob rounds are the only situation in which blob vs crew is balanced if the blob has any experience blobbing at all. Late-joining blobs often have an advantage in spawning in wrecked areas where none of the crew will find them and corpses no one bothered to clean up. And as for mixed rounds, blobs are hard enough to fight without dealing with a rampaging wizard or ling on top of them, both of which are round-ending threats on their own.
