Spawn protection was added in 1.12, and currently, it is absolutely game breaking. Just 5 minutes before making this post, an incident occurred involving spawn protection. I was playing domination on Outskirts, someone notices me running to an objective, shoots at me, they miss their initial shots, I turn around, shoot at their chest like 7 times, then the game decides, "Fuck you," and says that spawn protection is still enabled for that person even though they had been shooting at me for at least two seconds.

Spawn protection wasn't even needed in the first place. Yes, I would get spawnkilled every now and then before 1.12, but it was very rare. Most days spawnkills didn't occur at all. Now, with the most recent update, it appears that I spawn in front of someone already facing my direction and get shot in the face. The old spawn system without spawn protection was better.
