Can we rework respawn beacons?
Having people camp at respawn beacons is the lamest * there is. You fight a team and need a res, team just sits there doing nothing waiting. Maybe have them always be inside so you can't see out, or...

Because it is cheap.
Having people sit on spawn in any game is lame. So when you drop from a respawn with no guns and can't do *, maybe just have some kind of map feature that isn't open ground free range hunting for 700m in all directions.
You can sit and rat somewhere, but when it comes to spawn... come on. Is that really what you need to play the game?
Otherwise let the player(s) that are respawning at least get a p20 or something.
*edit: what i am talking about is camping respawn beacons exclusively.

If you're going to airdrop your buddy into a freaking hotzone mid to end game where everyone else will have far better armor and guns by then, well, you deserve to watch them die again and you deserve that loss.
Like, really, what would you expect to happen? If you're expecting them to drop with a Titan, well, this is the wrong game for that.

I feel as if this is saying that the dead player shouldn't pay any price for having died to begin with. It's as if Respawn should just be handing out free passes at every turn, and saying to the guy who killed you, "Hey, nice job. Now you have to go and do it all over again because your kill is basically worthless."
And is there no responsibility on the part of squadmates to find a respawn beacon that isn't being camped? C'mon. We all know you don't go to the nearest one. Ever. And if it's endgame and there is no beacon left and you don't have a mobile, then accept the loss. It's over. Next match.
Oh, no man, I have had many games where they clearly don't all know that. I had dozens, if not a hundred or more games like this before I uninstalled from PC:
- The Jumpmaster doesn't listen to the me or the other guy.
- Hot drop us in a hot zone, I veer off to the side to at least try and get a gun before engaging.
- Other guy dies.
- Jumpaster get banner, or I snag banner.
- I freaking leave to go to a NOT still hot gun battle area to respawn. I even ping direction.
- Jumpmaster respawns 3rd right into the battle.
- At least 50% of the time, jumpmaster dies while 3rd is in middle of respawning.
- I'm over here, halfway to a different becon now with no support.
- Oh look, we're all dead.
The few games I play on the PS4 is ALWAYS this bad because that account is still low enough I am in lobbies with nothing but Smurfs and Potatoes.
Until they fix the freaking matchmaking to maybe also include play style preferences and/or make some kind of updates to enforce BR style play in the BR and let the hot drop kids go over to TDM instead of BR, this game is unplayable to any but the top 10%, which will play less as they realize they are running out of casuals to kill on their streams.
