About Respawning

I understand that not being able to respawn when smaller than spawn size is annoying, but the annoyance of losing over half of the mass in battles to respawners is much worse. Even the way it is right now, it can be hard to get mass when first spawning because most battles between smaller players are less than 30 seconds and I can usually only get a few nibbles at my opponents before the rest of the mass goes away. I think that there should be a mass limit at which players can respawn, and this mass should NOT be deleted. I have never heard any points against this, but one might be that players could not tell if someone is frozen or respawned. A solution to this would be for mass left behind by respawners would have some sort of animation to show that it is dead mass. This could be something similar to the wacky animation, except it would be death themed, and it would be animated to show that it is not a skin. The cells would keep showing this animation until it is eaten. This would probably not cause any significant lag because most players respawn when they are about to die, so most of the mass would get eaten right away. I see no reason for the biggest player on the map to be able to delete their mass when they are about to die. This is really bad sportsmanship and it should be taken out of the game. If there is anything I am missing, please share your thoughts.

As you all know, this problem has been fixed as now players can respawn at their own will, but their mass will still be there for the player to eat. So the issue has been resolved thankfully and now both players can be happy, one of their own bad-sportsmanship, and the other of their victory.
