All the arguements thus far amount to "The team deserving to lose would lose hard", which I see as a good thing, not a bad thing. If you have one building left and it's being camped by tanks and snipers, then you lost. There's no reason why you should feel entitled to a chance at victory at that point.

I've seen some good comebacks from the losing team, but this sort of thing wouldn't allow that as much.
I'll give you an example: say you're on City, and the whole team has a good amount of credits. A Stealth Tank rush hits your base and kills everything except for the Barracks, and they surround your base with snipers. Now in normal AOW mode, wherever you spawn, you could still purchase some characters and kick the other team's ass by getting them out of your base. Or simply win by points via defense.
In the proposed mode however, wherever you spawn (which will not be the Barracks 80% of the time, you will get killed very easily without being able to retaliate with a good unit, no matter how much you've got. So yeah, it definitely makes things 10x more lame for the losing team, but also denies them a way to still win by points or make some sort of comeback.

Explain to me why a team with nothing but a barracks and surrounded by snipers deserves a chance to win.
