Equip whatever you want. Have 11 athletics. Have 90 body armor. You will die, alone. Bump bump bump bump. And right after you die, someone else will spawn. Your team loses player after player, and it will happen every round.
The "solution" is SPAWN INSTANTLY AND RUN, but what if you were on the phone while you were dead? Got up to get a drink, browsing a web page, etc. You might as well sit the round out, because you won't leave spawn alive.
This doesn't happen on every single map, but on maps where it "works" the same cavalry will do it every round. I can't think of anything to protect late spawners that would be fair to everyone else.
I'm not making a rage-post because I just got owned by a horse haver. Since I started playing again a couple months ago, I see this happen every time I play long enough for a couple maps to cycle on the server. Inevitable instant death. It is more frustrating than playing against a team massively stacked with clan-mates.
Is there anything that could be done to fix this? Spawn protection or delaying movement till XX% of the team spawns would raise more problems than they solve. Making maps larger would slow down rounds and make it less fun for everyone (except people trying to delay and milk their multiplier).
Whenever it starts happening I lose interest in playing. Whelp, there goes 5-10% of my team.
