Instant respawn is much more annoying, I like to see the kill cam, maybe spectate someone, and it gives me some time to drink or eat when I die :v:
the only way to win in instant respawn server is either to spycap/scoutcap or have some poeple spawn camping while a few other cap.
that's why I find instant respawn/fast respawn stupid...
[QUOTE=Zik;24083169]Although a person that likes to wait does not exist, the same goes for the person that's enjoys of games ending in stalemate.[/QUOTE]
i actually enjoy stalemates...
i love instant respawn dustbowl because of how much chaos there is
10 seconds max, 6 seconds minimum. Keeps the game at a nice quick pace.
Not a mind numbing 20 seconds.
Fast respawn only works in a low population server on certain custom maps. Otherwise it's nothing but a spamfest, and not usually worth playing. I prefer respawn times to be 7-15 seconds, myself, I don't care for the 20+ of a team on defense. Sometimes there's nothing you could've done to have not died, and if you're actually one of the main contributers to your team, 20+ seconds is a long time.
Considering that Valve balanced the maps around the default spawn timers, I prefer them. Even if they are 20 seconds long sometimes, I just deal with it.
No, it's like punishment for just rushing into battle aimlessly, it forces you to do better.
I'm fine with them so long they aren't like 25-30 seconds.
I used to hate respawn times, but not so much anymore, it's just something I grew used to.
20+ seconds is annoying as all hell. Especially when ALL respawn times are 20+ seconds. Drives me fucking crazy.
I can't stand insta-respawn and fast respawn. It makes it much more difficult for attackers to win, although I do get bored waiting for 20~ seconds.
Yup 20 seconds is really annoying especially if you died to some random crit roller/demo nade/spam or an arrow flying across the map
20+ seconds is just annoying.

20 is the average time.
[QUOTE=EvilShadow777;24086834]20 is the average time.[/QUOTE][QUOTE=TF2 Wiki]Most official maps use a 10 second respawn wave time. That 10 seconds is then modified by the map state, generally reduced for the team that controls the most capture points.[/QUOTE]You only remember those times when you wait 20 seconds to spawn and not the times when it is 5 seconds.
Also[QUOTE=Marik Bentusi;24081596]No. It motivates me to die less which is usually a good shift of strategy.[/QUOTE]

According to [url=http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Respawn_times]these numbers[/url] your team must always be the losing one then.
Edit:
And Ukuku really remembered to work his magic, have a heart. :D
As long as it's 10-5 seconds, it's all good.
Max 15 sec is ok. Below 5 is just annoying.

Need to rest sometime.
5-10 seconds is fine for me. You get to see your teammates doing stuff while waiting for a short time. But when its 20+ seconds it really makes me rage hard. This one time I died, waiting...waiting...enemy has taken our intelligence...waiting..Respawned. Ran out the door and BAM! crit rocket to the fucking face. So 5-10 seconds is balanced but above that really ruins the games flow. And wheres the "Sometimes" on the poll.
I like games where it starts off easy for Blu so they can cap the first few points easy while Red is building a super mega ultra defense on the last point and we hold off for a long ass time. Then Blu always caps it within the last 5 seconds :argh:. Basically the longer the game the funner it is for me.
It's fucking annoying, but it's better than insta-spawn servers.>:C
Normal 20+ sucks. Although I hate instantspawn, so 3-5 seconds is fine.
Insta is gay, you don't learn from your deaths.
5-10 are fair.
After being used to waiting until the round ends in counter strike, no
Default respawn times are meh. It definitely isn't fun when your team is getting rolled all the time and you have to wait 20 seconds to respawn. I pretty much always play on the same server, it has fast respawn and the respawn time is never longer than 10-15 seconds.
There are maps with doors that only open on a timer so that respawn is enforced. I like that better, it keeps the respawn long, but building in spawn is allowed, so with the right teamwork you can spawn faster.
I don't mind respawn times as much. It's just when your sentry is being raped by the other team, while there is another engineer right next to it doing fuck all, is when i rage.
When there's 6 people on a server and you have 18 second respawn times, then it annoys me
My server has a 5 second fast-respawn
I like the kill-cam, instant respawn annoys me because I can't see who killed me, how I died, and the enemys' (sometimes hilarious) face
5-15 seconds is all good with me, but I mostly play arena. Really gets the message through on things you shouldn't do.
