Hi friends, how are you? Hope you're doing well and staying safe. We need to have a serious discussion, okay? The RP system needs some love for support characters and support plays in general.
Ever revived or respawned your team mates several times only for them to die again? Some things are outside of your control even if you are being supportive to your team and the current RP system punishes this.
I've had better stats than this last game as far as reviving and respawning:
bu the point stands that I evaded and grabbed banners 4 times in extreme situations! (Yes, Mirage respawned BH once, but that's because I grabbed his banner and didn't abandon him).
BH and I made it to the top 3, but since I spent a lot of time out-numbered (and as Crypto) I was unable to aggressively secure any kills or sufficient positioning to fight (one team was atop the Voyage and the other was gassed and fenced up underneath it).
Long story short, I think there should points awarded for respawning your teammates. I understand that a revive RP system could be abused. However, I'd love to see Respawn figure out how to reward people for, well, doing just that. It could encourage stronger team plays altogether if the game rewarded you for playing as a team more.
Just my two cents.
Any thoughts? Whether you agree or not let's have a healthy discussion about this and maybe a dev can offer some insight.
