Guild Wars 2

I think sPVP would be better if the respawn timer gets gradually longer as the game drags on so the a complete wipe of an enemy team can mount a comback. Right now death seems of little consequence when you can run right back and contest in a few seconds.

My suggestion:

5 seconds delay to start the game, then double every 4 minutes that passes and caping at 40 seconds.

5 seconds (0-4 minutes of game time)
10 seconds (4-8 minutes)
20 seconds (8-12 minutes)
40 seconds (12+ minutes of game time)

I take it you mostly play in soloq. Against a premade or just against good solo players, every death is a punishment. Games are lost in soloq because one death results in a snowball effect and a tricap impossible to overcome. Watch some of the tournament games on this channel:

There’s the Go4GW2 cup tonight. Watch it and tell me again that death is not punishing.
