Timeout after death

grkkll

what determines this, it seems completely random ranging from 5 secs to 20 for no apparent reason, is there some reason for this variation...?

i think it partially depends on how long you were alive, if you died super quick after a respawn it will be closer to 20 sec, if you stayed alive for like several minutes then it will be shorter

BGs have a global cooldown of 20 seconds for ressurrection. After the cooldown ends, the option for ressurection will be available. So, if you die close to the global cooldown end, you'll have to wait less than if you have died at the beggining of this cooldown.
Also, this is a global cooldown that works for all players, that's why several times you ressurrect at the same time as other teamates (enemies will also ressurrect at the same time as you, but it is really hard to notice, because bases are far apart from each other).

Why not just make it a 10 seconds respawn time?

Its so frustrating to wait for 20 seconds to join back in the fight.

Random respawn time, the 20 seconds actually, is so [snip] infuriating.
