Re: people are not respawning me in ranked after picking up my banner

@VOID_Boberbor When you die in ranked, sometimes it is not the best option to try and respawn due to how much of a target you will become.

When my teammates die (I play in a pre-made btw) we tend to communicate and we look a key factors...
1) Has there been any close fights near our nearest beacon?
2) What is the current ring size, would it be a good idea to go to the beacon now or play for points?
3) If we are near a good loot area with decent items around.

Ranked is all about points, the easiest way to get them is through kills.

I don't think players deserve bans for not bringing you back in.

@rockyboy1998 Meh, I've had @GHOST whatever his name is now respawn me in the last circle with the ring closing. There is always a chance! 🤣

@rockyboy1998 I half agree. I do do what you say when I'm carrying a tms banner. I look for a spot with 0 enemies & decent loot. But I feel it's better to have your whole team back as soon as possible. But if I know I can't bring them back, I'd rather leave the banner so they can leave the game.

There are toxic tms that pick up your banner & make you sit there til they die unless you want to take the penalty. And that's what I think the OP is talking about here. I think those kinds of players should be given some type of punishment like a leave penalty or points taken.

You can freely leave after 2 1/2 minutes, even if they picked up your banner (from the time they picked it up, I believe). I've never bothered waiting because I don't care if I abandon a game, but probably you'll know if you try and see if the warning comes up. If it doesn't you're safe is what I understand.

Really good players often take a long time to respawn you because they aren't interested in getting you or themselves killed when the dropship comes. Having said that, yeah, sometimes that's just too long to wat.

But how would the system be able to discern wether it's toxic folk who want to annoy you or decent folk who maybe just wait for a good chance to bring you back safely? I'd always sit these situations out. Your team mates might die soon, letting you off the hook, or might even carry you to some points.
