Blob is, without a doubt, the most punishingly difficult antag role to play at the present time. It has been literal months since I've seen a blob round end in a blob victory. Something needs to be done, but honestly I barely have any idea what because blobs die so fast.
Absorption probably needs to be sped up, I was just in a blob round where I literally could not absorb someone on and completely surrounded by blob tiles because the bar filled up so slowly. Furthest I ever saw it get was halfway, after what must have been five seconds. Long enough for the tile to get killed by what appeared to be an unlit weldingtool.
Lit matches and candles forming a completely impassable wall to a blob is absurd and they should probably just be extinguished.
One idea that I see come up a lot is context sensitive clicks, with clicking on a tile attempting to spread to that tile, clicking on someone or something on a tile attacking them, and clicking on someone on a blob tile attempting to absorb them. Hell, have absorption automatically start whenever someone's on a blob tile.
Maybe I'm just salty about the absorption thing, but I feel something really needs to be done about blob.
