Idea:
A respawning mechanic for SG Duos to give you a chance to return your dead teammate.
More information:
Basically, there would be a chance of a “Respawn Totem” spawning in a random location on the map. (Not 100%, as I feel it would be too OP). This location could be trackable by using an Activity tracker, and could be a light blue/cyan colour.
If respawn totems are active in your current game, your teammate will drop an item (Can’t think of a good name for it, perhaps a “Respawn Orb”?), which you then have 30 seconds to loot from their gravestone, or off the floor if the gravestone is broken. After this 30 second period, the item will despawn. You then have to take this item to the respawn totem and ‘use’ this item on it for 5-10 seconds, and if done so successfully, your teammate will respawn with no items.
To prevent abuse of this system, the Respawn Totem can only be used by one team only, and your team can only respawn one player per game (If you die after respawning your teammate, it’s game over for you!) There could be a max of two totems spawning each game in random, reachable locations.
Why I feel this would be a good addition: Most players with teammates leave after dying, even if their teammate is still alive. This would give players an incentive to stay the game with the possibility of getting a second chance.
I welcome hearing everyone else’s thoughts and opinions on this in the replies 
No this would not be good. If you die you should stay dead.

This kinda defeats the whole purpose of you know the survival part of the game and people would abuse this to no end

Respawn totems make 0 sense for a game that is meant to be fast

I like this idea but survival games is competitive and it’s in the name “survival”, it wouldn’t be survival if you could respawn, it kinda ruins the whole point of it. Especially if you and your friend got lucky and killed 1 person from a team of sweats and there was only one left but then they got a respawn totem and now the two sweats are back making it much more difficult to play.

I really don’t understand the reasoning you guys stated for not liking this idea. There are so many games that have this feature in their battle royale game. Your teammate would still have to survive and safely revive you. It’d still be a survival game, but allows you to fix the problem of having to 1v2 every fight if you’re teammate dies
Plus this helps fix another problem of trying to find players, the game has a huge problem with that. Too little players in a huge map, it’s so hard to find people, so it gets boring fast. Yeah, this would only help duos, but it’s still something.

True but everyone knows survival games is competitive, having this wouldn’t match the SG vibe which is running around chasing or getting away from someone, I would only approve of this if the maps increase in size.

You can chase people away from the totems, as I mentioned it would take like 5-10 seconds to use and you can’t be interrupted while using it
Also my main reason for this suggestion is to get more people to play sg and stay in games instead of instantly requeuing.
