I have a suggestion for donors. I'm a diamond sponsor and I don't wanna wait 5 minutes to join again. I'm not saying to make it no CoolDown, but I want it lowered.

For example:
Iron Sponsor: 2 minutes 30 seconds
Gold Sponsor: 1 minute 30 seconds
Diamond Sponsor: 1 minute

I just want something for what I payed for.
(I didn't pay for this sponsor lol)

Well i think (im not sure) that the cool-down for any donor is 90 seconds. I could understand that you join a lobby and your non-donor friend joined a lobby and is in the green zone (very likely not to be kicked) and you want to join him but you have a cool-down, but its only 90 seconds (from what i know) and that's enough time to join your friend.

Or if you are bad and join a lobby that just starts and you die almost instantly that's a thirty second cool-down. Its not that i dislike this idea its just that i find the cool-down OK with how it is now.

Furthermore i would like to know the situations that your cool-down takes affect. Is it like you see its going to be SG4 or Breeze maybe its a map you don't know very well.

Ok here's a situation:

I join a server that only has 30 seconds left. I want my friend to join but he is on cooldown. I have to wait until the games start. When I can't play with him, I leave and he joins a server that has 30 seconds left and now I can't join :(

I like the suggestion but you and your friend can just wait until your cool-down is over so you can join a server again i get how it can be annoying but maybe spectating is not too bad because you can really help speed up the game.

Pretend you are a donor. You kick someone. But then you realize you want to join another server. So you leave. But you can't join again since you have a CoolDown. If it wasn't for CoolDown people would be kicking people for no reason.

My suggestion is to lower the time.

The donor cool down should be 10 s for diamond 30 for gold and a minute for iron

But then donors can just join, kick someone off, leave and do it again on another server.
Yep that's why they have a CoolDown. I'm suggesting to lower it but not too much.
