How does the spawn of MTF/Chaos work?
Can anyone please explain me if the game randomly chooses which players from the people who are waiting/dead/spectating should spawn? For example, 15 people are waiting/dead/spectating and new team of 8 ppl of chaos or mtf will spawn soon, does the game randomly chooses 8 ppl from thos 15? Regardless the amount of time someplayers have been waiting and not spawned from like the past 1 or 2 spawns that the round had?

Shouldnt it be sorted by choosing the players who have bee waiting more instead of being random?

Yes it's random, try suggesting it?

Isn't RNG fun?

RNG is fun certain occassions. However, I believe it would be much more fair if the players were chosen by most time waiting/spectating, because picking them randomly, players have a chance to not spawn after 2 spawns in a row, which it makes frustating...

Random as it is I swear MTF spawns more often then chaos.

The point here is not do discuss whether Chaos or MTF spawns more frequently....What is being discussed is how the players are chosen to spawn, regardless the class (MTF or Chaos).

Players are randomly chosen to become MTF or Chaos. So it's basically RNG.
The respawn system leaves a LOT to be desired. Besides the whole "More likely to pick people who have been spectating for a while" the spawn type should be biased towards how many SCPs are still alive. When there's 3 or so alive, sure, spawn MTF. But when there's only one SCP left, no Chaos, and it has low health, spawning more MTF is basically telling the SCP to go ♥♥♥♥ itself. The respawn system should bias towards Chaos more in those circumstances to keep the playing field level, or at least more level than it currently is.

And above all, it's always fun to get auto-kicked for a split-second connection drop during the "Waiting for Players" phase, then reconnecting, but you were a second or two too late, so you're forced to spectate, and then the round goes on for ages and skips over you three times for respawn. If I wanted to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ watch people play, I'd go to YouTube.
