I wish this game didn't have a respawn timer.
Waiting 30 seconds to respawn + get back in the action is literally the worst thing about online FPS games. What moron decided this was a good idea?
no respawn timer would be insanely OP if the payload was near the defender's base
God forbid you play something like Counter Strike where you need to twiddle your thumbs for up to 5 minutes after dying. Just, absolutely retarded game design.
>>341373213
If we're at the point of instant respawns why don't we remove the guns? If dying has next to no penalty what's the point in killing people?Hardmode: not for the sake of le dank play of the games
>>341373328
Then design the game around no respawn timers. There's no reason for this tired genre cliche to be in the game when it adds absolutely nothing of value to it. It's literally anti-fun.
Nobody can give me a single reason why respawn timers need to be a thing. You can't. Penalize the player some other way, but don't take them out of the action for 30 seconds at a time.
SHUT THE FUCK UP TF2 FAGS
OVERWATCH IS PERFECT AS IT IS.
There as a lot of balance and testing that happened while developing this game. 30 second respawn timer has proved to the the best way to balance out the game. This isn't call of duty or some shitty quake game. There is a reason why Quake and COD are failing, no one cares about arcade shooters. They want a serious experience where there is actual balance and it's not your typical run and gun shooter. There is a lot of long term strategy involved where the heroes chosen and picked at certain intervals of the game matter to end result, something the likes of TF2 and Quake will never come close to as they are too rooted in the past. Blizzard is not some idiot 2 bit company like valve who just slap on some cosmetics and forgo balance. Careful calculation and team chemistry is the name of the game in overwatch. There is no fps with this level of depth out right now. Not even tf2, battlefield, quake, or battleborn.

This.

Well said man! TF2 DRONES BTFO
>>341373213
I think that having no respawn timer devalues kills. It feels shitty when the person you just murdered get right back in that action, like your skill means less. I'd rather wait to respawn than have no respawn timers since that makes kills I do more impactful, even if dying is more frustrating.
>>341373213
All they need to do is add a silly mode with instant respawn and maybe even make it 10v10.
Unfortunately, there are no custom mods and the custom games cannot even be made public.

it's part of map control you fucking scrub

Stop dying, faggot.
>>341374790
Completely agree. Hats off to you, I wish I could shake your hand. I am moved. THANK YOU, sir, for finally saying it.

>>341375460
>I think that having no respawn timer devalues kills
also this...it makes dying pointless except for oh no the scoreboard!
I wish this game didn't have being out
Waiting until the next game starts to be in + get back in the action is literally the worst thing about gym class. What moron decided this was a good idea?
Overwatch fags are truly desperate and pathetic.
>>341375460
You're implying the average overwatch player understands anything besides the autistic glee of seeing the words "You eliminated such and such" Flashing on the screen.
>>341373770
What's the point of spawning early if you have to walk for 10 more seconds? I would much rather be spectating my teammates than mindlessly hold W for longer.
>>341373213
this game isn't about just you faggot
stop dying
if you could come back instantly then momentum would hardly shift
>>341374790
is this some new pasta?
Respawn timers are in TF2 ffs
>>341374790
>can't tell if satire or serious
See, death is meant to punish the player for fucking up. But in Overwatch dying is not only inevitable, in many situations suicidal tendencies beneficial to your team.
Why punish the player for playing the game as intended?
>I hate being punished for sucking at game
>>341376652
There is no situation in which killing yourself in beneficial to your team unless you specifically kill yourself in real life
>>341374173
The reason is for players to actually tey to stay alive. Not run in kamikaze and get as many kills as you can before you die.
>>341376297
This so much.
>"When /v/ plays CSGO and they die for the entire round, no one bats and eye"
>"But when you have to wait 30 seconds to respawn in overwatch everyone loses their minds!"
>>341376867
Sacrificing yourself to kill the enemy healer/save your own is worth your death. Everything else is you fucking up.
Stop dying so much dipshit.
>>341376867
You seem to be quite stupid. Clearly I was referring to hurting the enemy instead of running away, hiding and looking for a heal, as you would in most other games.
>>341376895
This so much too!
It just goes to show that when a game is so good, you want to keep playing but when a game is garbage (CSGO) no one cares if you have to wait till next round to play.
>>341377139
Overwatch is a shinning beacon in the sea of garbage.

I know your just shitposting for replies but someone might actually believe you; it's 8. Eight seconds to respawn.
>>341373213
I wish it was 30 seconds, the game practically does have instant respawn right now.
How many layers of irony we on now?

Holy shit no one itt can read. I'm not saying there shouldn't be a penalty for dying, you fucking idiots. No one is saying that.
There SHOULD be a penalty for dying -- but does it have to take the form of a respawn timer? An anti-fun mechanic which does nothing but bore and frustrate the player? I'm still waiting for someone to give me a reasoned response as to why a respawn timer is the best solution. Because the way I see it, it's lazy game design.
There has to be some kind of consequence for dying.
>>341378159

STOP THE PRESSES
>>341378159
EIGHT SECONDS
>>341378159
I'd tell you to stop and that this is a 0/10, but it's oddly amusing and quite a few anons seem to agree.
>>341373213
>30 seconds
What? It's like 10 seconds
>>341378453
>>341378587
Plus another 20 seconds to walk to the payload.
There's so much waiting around in this game, including the obscenely long round start timers, it's its biggest flaw imo.
>>341378890
>20 seconds to walk to payload
You act like this is tf2 slow, 20 seconds maybe for scout and medic but in reality 5 seconds for most overwatch characters.

Mercy why won't you heal me or damage boost me?

Respawn time are good for games that have you defending objectives and areas.
If the game had instant respawn, the attacking team would have more time getting to the objective after each member dying. Meanwhile the defending team wouldn't even have to worry about dying since they would spawn right next to their objective instantly.

Why do people think if I criticize Overwatch I must be a TF2 fanboy?
I don't pick sides like you low-IQ morons, I just call it like it is.
>>341380940
Because you're comparing it to something and you have preconceived notions as to what a "good" fps is.
>>341379578
Because you're a faggot and if you were on the other team you wouldn't hesitate to shove your sword up my ass while my teammates ignore my cries for help. And I'm not following your ass into the enemies backlines.
Just make the respawn time instant at the start, and the more your team dies, the longer and longer you have to wait til it caps out at a reasonable wait time.
>>341374790
Well put friend!
Ah LMAO TF2 faglets PUT ON SUICIDE WATCH YET AGAIN!
>>341374173
Shit players get benched it's how the world works
Don't want to be benched(dead for 30 seconds) don't be shit.
>>341373213
There's no pointing in eliminating enemies if they'll just come back 2 seconds later.
Getting kills in games with a respawn timer actually means something.
>I can't wait 7 seconds
Jesus go back to cod
>>341381365
No of course you won't follow me but when I come to you and ask for heals it's kinda dickish when you just damage boost rinehardt shielding
