Update	Changes
June 30, 2026	Respawn ramp changed from 8-30s from 5-19m to 8-35s from 5-20m
January 20, 2026	Respawn time at 19 minutes reduced from 35s to 30s Respawn time at 30 minutes reduced from 75s to 70s You now have a longer respawn time if you die and are meaningfully richer than the enemy team's average net worth (scales from +6s to +22s penalty, based on networth being 15 to 30% higher and game time being 10min to 25min, if under 15% NW or 10min, nothing happens)
September 4, 2025	Dying to a non-player (when there is no bounty/assists) now increases the respawn time for that death by 10 seconds
July 29, 2025	Minor respawn curve reductions (19 min from 40s to 35s, 30 min from 80s to 75s, 40 min is still 85s)
November 29, 2024	Respawn time at 40 minutes moved to 35 minutes
November 21, 2024	Respawn time curves changed from happening at 17/30 minutes for 40s/70s respawn to 20/40 minutes Killing the first Patron now causes any existing enemy hero respawns to be reduced by 20 seconds. However, it does not reduce remaining respawn time lower than 10s.
