Exactly as it says, it's a spawn point generator. It is set down on your feet (like a turret), and the next teammate who spawns in within, say, 10-15 seconds will spawn at that point. Of course, there can only be one at a time, and if it is set down, it would register on the radar, not to mention being easily destroyed.

 

Now, how terrible of an idea will this be?

Originality: 10/10
Troll Potential: 11/10

I like the idea, but the vast majority of players couldn't tactics their way out of a paper bag so even without trolling you'd have people spawning in useless spots or in the middle of an enemy team.

...so functionally identical to what happens now.

I love the idea... For competitive play. In pub matches all I see happening is someone getting ambushed by five people and laying one of these down, thus ensuring the enemy has two kills instead of one.

I want this for map exploration. Getting out of bounds, putting a spawn point down and huzzah. Also handy for mudpool-style fightclubs.

Good idea in competitive, but I've seen too much teleporter camping in TF2 for this to work in pubs.

I understand the camping concerns. I was hoping that the short lifespan of the item (again, 10-15 seconds) would alleviate some of that, though.

I can't think of something more frustrating than winning a 1v1 very close with low hp and then get blown up by some random guy spawning behind me.

I think it's a nice idea but it would need some work to implement it in a fair and balanced way.

Well, like the turrets, what if it takes a second or so for it to actually activate? Also, as I said, it'll come up on radar and I wouldn't want this item to be hard to destroy. I wouldn't want the item to be used as a free ambush, which is why I would want it to come up on radar and have a very short lifespan after an activation period. I was thinking this would be more or less an item to keep up an offensive line or to hold up a position.

 

I admit, though, I expected more people to say this would be an outright terrible idea, though.
