Swarm character spawn pots not working in TT?
I tried playing as Wildflower in Turf Takeover today and never respawned at my pot. Team Vanquish has a new ui when a swarm character is vanquished - it lets you chose where to respawn. This ui isn't present in Turf Takeover. I could imagine they did that to prevent point camping, but then the ability is rendered useless.
You have to select respawn at beacon instead of just respawn
