Death Timers

Right now, when it comes to seeing enemy death timers, you have to press tab. This isn't terribly inconvenient on its own, but it could be better. Right now, suppose you're attacking an inhibitor in a 4v2 situation. Now you have to be careful to dodge their shots while you take the inhib or get low tanking their shots and killing the inhib, while at the same time having your friend in the death chamber tell you how long the 3 dead enemy champs have left until they respawn with homeguards and slap you in the face. Would it not be more convenient if, like we can see allied death timers that we could see enemy death timers on the right side of the screen? It just makes sense from a symmetric point of view and it's more convenient than having to press tab to see how long people are dead. Smite has had this around for a while and I'm really wondering as to why we don't have it yet.

Funny you say this, because I had no idea you could see enemy death timers until the jungle timers were implemented. I know how crazy that sounds, but I almost never hit tab -- never really needed to, especially since I hadn't tried jungling in a PvP match until I hit 30.

Having some sort of integrated indicator would be beneficial to players, but I think the reasoning would be the same as that of the jungle timers: they are right there.

Perhaps it would be more fair to say that enemy death timers are easier to include, so this could be a good idea for the PBE.

I would prefer for the timer to appear on their champion portrait that is on the left side of the screen. Sure, it's nice to see who has their Ult up...but it really should be there.

I think toggleable through settings portraits with timers in the top left corner would be nice. Kinda work like the baron/dragon timers do in spectator.

Irrelevant, but I also believe that Inhibitors should be tracked in the tab menu with neutral monsters
