Discussion about the downed state (in sPVP)
Because they deserve it!
Is it worth fighting? Depends on a lot of factors: Do you have teammates around (who might revive you)? Are you within the boundaries of a capture point? Does your opponent have 10% or less health? Is there a group battle around you that could occlude you while you rez? If so, fight on. If you’re alone, severely outnumbered, or in the middle of nowhere: die.
The resurrection timer works by the clock. Every 20 seconds starting at 0, if I remember correctly. If you’re on 01, 21, 41, might as well fight. if you’re in the relative teens, quicker to die.
