Death Timer should scale indefinetly

That is, keep adding 5 seconds to the respawn for each death a player has. There really needs to be a bigger punishment for dying THAT much, regardless if you are a tank or not.

25 seconds is long enough I agree, but I don't see why you should cap it at that. Players who are bad should stay out of the field more to prevent feeding (intentional or not) and learn a lesson in playing it safe and strategic, learn when to retreat and when to fight, and not just herp derp go inside a pack of enemies plz ima tank/dps.

Lmao I never realized it even capped. I assumed it went on indefinitely but I had never died enough times to ever find out. It should scale indefinitely I agree.

Yeah I'm actually not sure if they changed this or not. I think the last time I died 6+ times was in FL slaughter where I noticed the 25sec cap, but it's been a while. I'm just kind of sad when I see these 0/8's and 0/9's on my team...

While I agree that no one likes players who repeatedly feed other teams with their deaths, punishing them for even longer periods of waiting time might deter them from PvPing at all, and thus reducing the player base. If anything, these new players need to be out on the field longer to learn and improve, rather than watching their corpse on the ground the whole match. No one likes waiting to play, especially when some of them have been already waiting 30 minutes for their queue to pop. :[

That'd just cause ppl to spam
Rez plz
Or omg i need a revive <pos>

I wouldn't mind this; I don't know where these people come from but there's at least 3 or 4 people on my GC that have 0/6 record somehow. This entire week has been frustrating with these people dying off our score.

It is literally always the tanks, they run into groups by themselves on the other side of the map...and you just watch their hp go down and down.

There are 2 ways to look at this.

1. Having the cap means IF the person keeps dying, they are just feeding/losing points.

2. The person even while dying, are providing benificial things for the team. This would include absorbing CDs/LBs/stunning healers and DPS/ stopping people from capturing nodes.

I personally hope that the person who is dying is because of reason 2 most of the time, so I just bare with it. My issue is when I see melees doing with 0 kills by the end of a match. Usually in a match, a person should be able to LB twice, thats almost a guarantee kill atleast once.

Wait, people actually die more than 5 times? lall.

No jk. Back when I was a noob I think I occasionally died 5 or more times, but I can't say I remember any timer cap. I don't see any problem removing the cap. They are just wasting points anyway. The longer they stay away from battle the better. And maybe it'll teach them not to suck lol. Or be more cautious.

I thought the respawn time extensions were infinite as well, I don't think I've ever died in FL more than 4 times, I typically consider anything over 2 deaths to be a bad game for me now, lol

The more and more I think about people going 0/8 or worse, the more and more I start to think that maybe a system where a player with an excess amount of death streaks should become worth less points per kill than other players until they secure a kill (sort of like an anti-battle high effect, just with no statistical/mechanical detriments).

Course I have no idea how it'd work in practice, especially because healers and whatnot, so that's all just brainstorming at this point. I do feel like something needs to be done about feeding though.

I like it. This is a good solution to feeding imo, rather than extending the death timer over 25 seconds. Perhaps after 5 deaths, player kill points begin to diminish.

Definitely. Obviously will cut the point feeders off, but I'd much rather the newer, learning players have more field time to learn rather than be stuck waiting forever to respawn.

Taking healers and their death count into consideration, it may be worth setting that system to time-based instead of "until you get your next kill."

votekick is your best friend.

We got a 24man Seal Rock and we had a blm who died as he respawned 5 times in 5 mins, so we kicked him. We lost the match but he should learn the lesson.

I think the point of extending the respawn time would not phase a person so bad that they get killed an absurd amount of times.

Maybe they should get echo after 5 deaths, to hopefully stop it happening again!
