First of all if people were not idiots and just responded to the damn lifecheck there would not be an issue. It is used tactically sometimes, i used to use it all the time at the end of rounds but i dont see a perfect solution to the problem. This new rule change is worthless, people who want to abuse it will just wait and for rounds when there are few people on the server and lots of players can die quickly a lifecheck can be very useful in the first minute of the game. The best solution in my opinion would be to have a lifecheck only be able to be called when x amount of players are still alive like 10, however with all the people joining mid round this would be impossible.
