Why does jumping off of the spawning platform in BG's break you out of stealth and cloak?

Are they trying to reinforce spawncamping?

To make two team bgs even less enjoyable than they already are.

It also breaks your channeling. ex. Dark Deal

To prevent people from just being in stealth from the very start of the match and trolling. I’ve seen it in other games with stealth enabled in PvP modes, and it’s a pain in the neck.

You can still do that though by just going into stealth afterwards.

Although, in the case were you're pushed back to spawn and getting spawncamped, I can see mentality shifting from standard gameplay to spite.

Although in terms of retention I'd wager the team getting annoyed by stealthy players as a result of them stomping would be more likely to stick around, as the spiteful players having a last laugh. And as it is currently, if a player in 8v8 Deathmatch wants to move the game forward while everyone else is afk in spawn, they can just repeatedly drop down and feed the other team.

(This thread is in reference to 8v8 btw)

The new Battlegrounds demake is just not good and the entirety of the 3-Teams Battlegrounds maps/modes needs to return for queue availability. 8v8 and 4v4 are awful and the streamers/"youtubers" who advocated for it are long gone anyways. Vengeance and subclassing pushed them out of the narrative they were following to turn 8v8 into content clip farming.

Yes. Spawncamping is being enforced in the new BG maps because funlessness is the focus of them. Someone will record/stream you getting pushed out into a blender/vicious death proc/RoA proc and make "content" out of you. Thats what Battlegrounds are now. They aren't competitive. ESO isn't a competitive game and it never will be. 3-Team Battlegrounds was peak FUN. Now we just have content that is uncompetitive and no-fun. It was reworked for Ballgroups and Bombers to proc all over the place their crutch sets.
