But nobody is using it.
Simple math tells you if you die 10 times in a skirmish match you will run on average 5 min without any special.
This is why all are using Sidearms. To not have this useless slot in their loadout half of the time.

I dont think youre right about the special. You have to remember that the special spawns are often timed differently. You give yourself more advantage if you get an idea of these different times.

If you play good opponents special is always taken away from the other team the moment it spawns. This means spawntimes are usually in sync. This is the reason I did not talk about 6s, in 6s your argument is true.

If you are playing a sweaty well drilled team then yes it will be a problem. They will keep spawn killing you too so I can see how that would force you to use a sidearm. Im only average so I dont come up against many sweaty teams. I do think sidearm use will drop off a bit for most of the player base.
