6s and Highlander no longer have reduced respawn times based upon player count. They will be based upon the standard respawn wave timer of 10 seconds by default.
This fixes an issue where disconnected players could influence their team’s respawn time to be shorter.
Furthermore, this extends respawn times in 6s to the designed time. Since 6s is below the 8 player threshold per team for full respawn times, 6s always received a lowered respawn time by default.
We’ll monitor the impact of this change and use it to devise a more suitable respawn time for 6s which isn’t based upon a proportion of 8 player teams.
