Hero Spawn Timer In Ga

Heroes and Villains do not have a spawn screen. If you refer to the character selection screen then you will notice in the patch notes(https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-Information/Community-Transmission-General-Grievous-Update/m-p/7131472#M7580) that the spawn timers will now only be visible in the spawn screen. Seeing as you have no spawn screen for heroes or villains(they always spawn to default and don't need one) it means you won't see a countdown timer for them. Therefore according to the patch notes this is in fact working as they intend it to. 

I personally think they have done this to try and fix a bug as it seems strange that they would want players sitting in the character select screen having to mash the button in order to select their chosen hero or villain. Either that or someone really hasn't thought through this decision as it decreases as they would put it "quality of life". You don't put in all these handy little widgets and tweaks to make it all more user friendly then 💩 all over that by having players relentlessly mashing buttons in the character select screen. It's like taking 1 step forward and 2 steps back.
