Gabu Idk how they'd be able make any changes to last stand games to maximize uptime. If you get eliminated, you're out till the next point when everyone comes back.
Extra lives were the first thing that came to mind, but like....they're a terrible idea....last stand games can already take ages and that'd just make things way worse and a total slog, so that won't work at all.
"I'm wonder how we can make the game have more uptime for all players, but its complicated, how do we making dying early not suck?"
Maybe we could let eliminated players still participate somehow... perhaps by getting to cast their revenge down upon those who killed them? That way they have something to do, and get satisfaction out of messing with the guy who took them out?
