This isn't about the amount of special synths people have.
The timer needs to reset on a hard wipe. You know, when you wipe in a darkness zone and go back to the last checkpoint. Sitting around for 3-4 minutes waiting for a heavy to come off CD so you can have another legitimate go at a boss is really boring, as is going in with no rockets hoping for a drop, plus it's frustrating.
I just think having the timer reset on a hard wipe (again, whole fireteam dies in a darkness area and you go back to a checkpoint) would be a nice quality of life improvement.
