Death Timer should scale indefinetly

[Soular]

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."
