Whilst I really agree with a penalty for death, the current solution feels too hard. This leads to many games where death = disconnect.

Deaths from poor party cohesion or poor luck in the early game simply leads to games where their is no winner ... just a person(s) who survived the first 10 minutes.

Suggestion:- vote for the death penalty at game start, e.g. time to respawn, perma reduced health, simple/complex item.
