dying and respawn time

Joh4nn

Sorry lots of questions here, couldn't find info, but if this has been addressed in another thread or in some game mechanics doc, feel free to point to that. Thanks.

What's the formula for respawn time? In particular I wonder if the times you or your team heroes already died factors into this time? And if the only downside of death is the time you are away from the action. This would explain one hint I saw about not to worry about chasing and finishing low health opponent hero in early game.

There's no exact formula we know of. Only the developers will know that. In my knowledge , the number of times you die doesn't relate much with respawn time. Its related with match time, longer the match longer the respawn time will be. If anyone have more knowledge on this, plz do share.

Ok, so then there's practically no need to finish some kills in the early game, and can be sometimes even selfish (+1/x/x) if the extra kill does not benefit the team other than nicer score. The 0 health enemy may need to spend some time to get to home base to recover anyway, and that time taken is close to same as respawn time early on.

The timer is related to match time the longer the math has passed the more time you have to wait after you are dead.

Well, it might be true that in very early recalling and respawning might be same but if you kill the opponent early you get golds that are essential for your build, and on top of that enemy gets let's farm.

Respawn time is related to your exp and match time. If you are at a low exp level, then you will respawn faster than the others and vice versa.

During late game, all heroes will have same exp level - 15. At that point of time, respawn time is same for all the heroes

If the match is prolonged for more than 30 minutes, then respawn time may reach 1 minute or more than that as match goes longer

There is a talent in support emblem which reduces respawn time by 10%

The hero "Faramis" has a passive which can reduce the respawn time by 90% (I think) at max stacks.
