Ok so in the patch notes its said a sound plays while hes reviving…
I cannot hear it…
However, there needs to be a louder noise and animation with it.
This is not why I created this thread though…
Gib HP is currently the same as your normal HP I think…
I was wondering if the Self Revive ability could give Phoenix his remaining GIB health but no spawn protection. It adds depth to the choice of using the ability or not and is less frustrating for the player trying to gib the Phoenix at the same time.
All to often I am shooting at a Phoenix to gib him when he stands up and does not shoot till I reload only to kill me. While yes, you could say stop shooting till he shoots but due to the client side hit reg, by the time you notice him shoot he has put 5 bullets into you on his end and your already dead.
doing it the way I suggest…
The Phoenix gets the chance of a full HP revive if no one was trying to gib.
The person shooting the Phoenix also does not get lotto rolled with spawn shield.
Adds depth to the choice to revive or not.
Overall better system in all ways…
If your concern is “its over complicating things” look at SMITE and LoL they are still super popular with their complexities (and beta) lol.
