They want to even the playing field between high skill and low skill players.
The best way to do this in their minds is promote chaos and randomness in gameplay, one that is easily controlled is how you spawn. Even the best players cant do much spawning with their back to an enemy, meanwhile for a player that gets killed constantly getting killed again isn't an issue but shooting one of the better players in the back makes them feel good.
This attitude of trying to help the lesser skilled players can also be seen by:
-lack of scoreboard
-promoting the ONE thing they might have done right during the game as an end of round showcase while higher skilled players get ignored
-having robots that do the shooting for you
What they don't realise is the idea of lesser skilled players is an incorrect thought to begin with, they made the problem to start with by making the game more run and gun...so they actually narrowed the required skills so that fewer players can compete rather than expanding them to give everyone a job on the bf.
