Rework respawning..
Got a few ideas to help out with respawning your teammates, everybody would rather queue up again instead of respawn - i'm one of them. The reasons I quite are - I looted so hard and now lost all m...
I think this would pretty much take away all the risk of respawning in the game.
Personally, I feel like the point is to avoid dying, respawning is a last resort which gives you a second chance, though with this it becomes just too easy.
Your changes would remove any risk from respawning.
Nobody in the lobby would be aware of you respawning someone, it's just literally a free grab.
Next to that people will spawn with loot? This would make it so the lobby would have more loot than normal, technically you could farm extra loot items by a teammate suiciding and then respawning themselves since it wouldn't make any noise whatsoever then.
Do note that there will most likely be more than enough loot to get, assuming you're respawning after a fight and nearby the deathboxes, though if you're going to respawn there typically are some deathboxes nearby that will have some loot neatly packed up for the one you're respawning.
Your suggestion would make it viable to suicide at the start of a game so you can be revived to just get guns, blue shields and a lot of meds..
Most BR games don't even allow the respawning of teammates, so the fact that you can get someone back after losing them is already a big thing.
It's not pointless at all, though it depends on how you play around it.
If you respawn whilst you know a lot of players are nearby, best thing would be to get away from that position asap, if too many squads come then they'll be too preoccupied fighting each other instead of chasing you down.
I'm pretty sure respawning is supposed to be a risk, I wouldn't want to take that away.
Let's say I kill the ace on someone's team, I would like to know if someone got respawned so I know that the chance exist that the player is back in the game.
Other teams can decide their strategy around the respawned players, so it affects both the respawning and the other teams in the lobby.
I really don't think I can get around this idea if I'm being honest.
