My suggestion would be to start the "no respawn" phase earlier in the Arena Royale mode. I think "no respawn" is currently implemented in the last circle before fully closing. But, I think you should try "no respawn" earlier (in the prior circle closing).

The reason for this is that it just feels a bit absurd at times to have the last teams constantly respawning their teammates every few seconds. I eliminate players and they just respawn in a few seconds--that is fine early in the game but near the end it becomes frustrating. Near the end of the game, I think it should converge onto a more battle royale-type ending.

This change would also add another element to the game where teams need to grab the banners and try to respawn teammates in safer locations. With the portalling mechanic, you can even grab banners far into the gas—this would make respawning teammates after “no respawn” almost like a minigame in the BR mode.
