Why is there a 10 second respawn delay for a suicide? In fact, why is there even a score negation for it?
Designer's logic: "Oh look that kid walked off a ledge. Their team is now 1 player short. LET'S KEEP THE TEAM (AND HIM)WAITING FOR LONGER"
For one, if you suicide and have to wait 5 seconds it is already delaying a potential kill opportunity. It doesn't make sense to take away from the score.
This could eliminate griefers who jump off ledges to delay the game on purpose if there was no score negation.
Someone explain why a self-kill is punished equally as a team-kill?
It's a penalty for causing your team to have one less player. It will make the person committing suicide not want to because it takes away from the team's points. But if they are doing it on purpose, then it will take them longer to respawn so that they cannot do it as many times in one match. But if you commit suicide only once, a ten-second penalty should not be that much of an issue.
