(unpopular) Opinion: Deathmatch is still terrible to play

The spawn systen is flawed, most maps are too open and the ping system makes it worse. On top of that mid and low rank players suffer from matchups against immortals every game.

So i don't just complain i also came up with ideas to improve the things i mentioned.

To make the spawn system better it could help to introduce a system that denies a spawn if another player is in a certain radius or (close to) line of sight. This change might increase the spawn time a few seconds now and then but would lead to MUCH fewer spawnkills.

For the map problem i only came up whith the idea of a map specifically designed for deathmatch but i think this problem is the smallest one.

The Pings should be removed completely in my opinion but another option would be to mark the new spawned player for everyone on their maps so not only the spawned player gets the advantage.

The last thing to add would be some sort of SBMM, similar to the one used in unranked. Players would now be able to better warm up for their games instead of either getting just one-shotted by higher elo players or the other way round by having to play against lower players who are no challange to play against.

I hope this reaches out because i would really like to see this mode improve as it is one of my favourite modes in other games.
