Hmmm, I think respawning is fine now, with the addition of the beacons. It's ok for the process to be long, because that's what makes nearby teams feel that they can get there in time for the third party. Shortening that duration could probably alter the risk-reward factor too abruptly after a certain point.
By the very nature of battle royale is that death is supposed to be unforgiving.
More respawn opportunities makes the permanent kill less sweet for the victor. Then turns it into a deathmatch with everyone just running in blindly confident of second hand of life. Randoms do that enough already.
What I've learnt is that even if using respawn beacon or mobile beacon.... randoms don't want to bother building up their gear again and just leave. If they're not spawned near their own deathbox or deathboxes full of loot they don't want to start agauin is biggest factor.
Any battle royale team game going to have sudden leavers.
@DarthValtrex not to crap on your parade, but putting in a solos mode would reduce leavers. Unfortunately we both know that Respawn won't do it, despite it being the clearest and simplest way to combat an easily dealt with problem while also simultaneously giving a significant portion of the community what they want.
