Per JJ, if you got killed, revived, and immediately re-killed, that "skips" the kill-came, but you still have to wait the 15 seconds anyway, so it really doesn't matter at all.

As for "about to join a useful squad", dude you're supposed to do that shit in the 30 seconds before the match even commences.
