Hrm they tried something similar for a limited mode. I dont remember the details but I think all collected banners respawned automatically above one of the still living teammates every time the zone hit the new circle. Perhaps you didnt even have to get the banner for it to happend....
Guess it was kinda fun and the game become more of a tdm than BR but question is if this will make it more likely for randoms to stay in a casual game. I dont think the main reason why people insta-leave, sometimes even while just knocked is because they dont think they can be respawned into the game. I think the main reason is that most people just wanna frag and they rather jump into a new game with new possibilities than waiting a while for a teammate to respawn them, a teammate who they probably felt let them down in the fight they died in,
@BalladalidilaThey had two modes. One was called "Live.Die.Live", this is the one you're talking about, where teammates are respawned when the ring closes. Banners were not a thing that had to be collected. There was also a mode where banners were recovered automatically, this mode gave mobile respawn beacons.
Something I wish they put into the normal modes, is the automatic banner recovery. This is for the following reasons:
- Prevents teams from camping deathboxes (I know its part of the game, but its kinda toxic having to give up on teammates or die trying to get them)
- Prevents having to deal with the banner animation, such as when trying to armor swap from a teammate's deathbox
- Helps you focus more on the fight, and less on the possibility of being down a teammate
The only thing about this, is that part of Crypto's passive (the picking up the banners one), would become unuseable, but he would still be able to use the respawn beacon and other things from his drone at least.
