Increasing the spawn time isn't a suitable tradeoff either, as you still gotta run towards the person, you can't do it like a scrim where you shoot the gun across to someone.

The point of the increased spawn time is two factors:
1). It takes more time for someone to buy the awp when they don't do it frequently.
2). It gives players the opportunity to find each other before the round actually starts. For instance, they say something on mic to give away their location via radar or spam a radio command doing the same.

The point is people will be able to do this faster as they do it more frequently. People know the tricks of getting awps successfully because they've spent so much time doing it and figuring out ways to get them faster each time. The same could apply to this as well. Of course no one starts out an expert on their first try.
