’s seventh season goes live today and included in the patch notes were changes to how respawns work. Blizzard is making teammates who die in quick succession respawn at the same time in the hope of getting them to group up ahead of the next fight.Heroes who die within five seconds of each other will respawn together, resulting in some players having either a slightly longer or shorter queue than the standard 10 seconds.

For now, the group respawn change does not apply to Competitive modes. Blizzard plans to test this update out in Unranked modes in Season 7 before determining whether to apply the retooled respawns to ranked play. The devs may also modify how group respawns work and test them further before bringing them to Competitive down the line.
