We need respawn banner timers!

I'm so tired of horrible teammates either bragging or being stupid and just holding our respawn banners in ranked. I don't want to waste 20 minutes of my time! But if I leave I get -48 rp and can't do anything not even shooting range. That makes no sense. Please watch what happens in your games. This is making me and other people never want to play your game. Because there's no teamwork.

  • @swagkillamaster I thought there was some sort of timer? I guess it's only if there's no respawn beacons left or something? But yeah I agree with you. There should be a timer. This happened to me the other day, someone picked up my banner just to troll me so I left and just waited out the abandonment penalty. The auto -RP is annoying as well. Saying that tho idk why the abandonment cooldown effects every game mode? Makes 0 sense.
  • @GH0STEDbyME Trolls are a big problem and nobody wants to spend 20 mins doing nothing. I believe rather than satying there forever it should be 3 mins then you can leave if not respawned

    @swagkillamasterThere is already a timer. It's 150 sec after banner retrieval, but there is no actual timer for it so you have to pay attention to ring timer to see how much time is up. You won't get any penalty.

    @swagkillamaster Do you play on Diamond rank ? There's entry cost 48RP so you need to pay for that !

    Want to pay less ? wait little longer until you team mate pay some of it for you 🙂

    @swagkillamasterIdk, either bugged or it was less than 150 sec. I have left a few times like that and it worked, wasn't recently tho. It was added in ranked series 4.

    But I agree an actual timer on screen would be more useful.

    @asukojo if you die at the start with no kills, it's not a good idea to wait too long because even a top 5 won't get you enough points. Better to start a fresh one. 

  • @asukojo 40 RP for waiting like 15 mins is nothing.. NOTHING! You will still be at -8 even after top 4 with no kills. Even a win will give you only +52 in total. It's a safe way to earn RP for sure, but so inefficient and lazy imo.

    Better to start new, get 6 kills and earn more than double. It's a different story when you have already secured some kills.
