Respawn mechanic is pointless

There is no reason whatsoever to respawn a teammate at all or ever. It takes forever,you have no loot, you're a free kill, and it tells everyone where your squad is. 

Buffed circle and nerfed rng makes the respawn mechanic pointless. Respawn get no loot then die, repeat. It's honestly pointless, it punishes you for using it. Why even have it in the game at this point?

  • Really?  It does depend on the timing of the respawn, but I have had only a handful of situations where respawning was a bad idea. I've literally ran across the map just to respawn both my tmates and came out on top.  Maybe whomever is respawning needs to use a bit of common sense before the commit to it.

    Funniest thing I've read today though...thanks for the laugh 👍.

    Well yeah sure if your team just respawns you in the middle of a hot spot knowing there are teams nearby or about to be, then I can see where it's a bad idea. Wouldn't say bad mechanic though just lack of common sense on the players part. You don't always have to rush the CLOSEST respawn, paying attention to ring location and where it will end up (which there is a way to tell youtube can teach you =p) will usually allow you to respawn without much issue. Then it comes down to if your team sets up an escape for you as well like jump pad/portal/zip etc. If they just expect you to run for loot then yeah you might be boned. Again it's not the mechanic though it's just the player(s). Loot is the only issue but I usually drop them some heals and a gun until they find something I know a lot of people might not but I think you know what I'm going to say after that =p

  • @EThought113213 Lolz well I can live with no loot and still kill ppl who have loot, I'm assuming you mean die within 10-20 secs after being revived. I can only say this has happend to me once in the near beginning of this game. Every other time I've just hightailed my lootless arse away from wherever I was respawned... cause hint hint, you can look around you while in that dropship so you can easily see where enemies are running from to kill you softly.
  • @EThought113213 you must have really sucks teammates, me and my guys never respawn close to other squads, sometimes we hold for awhile and respawn, even sometimes we respawn outside of the ring, read the situation, don't always go by the book.

    It's supposed to be inherently dangerous, I mean you're getting someone back into the fight. I respawn and have been respawned successfully plenty of times. It is literally one of the most innovative additions that the battle royale genre has seen in years. Far far from useless/
