How much cash do you lose when you die in Borderlands?

Question

When you die in, you keep all your items, but lose some cash when you respawn at a New-U station. I can't find a clear answers of what percentage of your cash is lost or if it scales with some other factor as well.

Answer

The amount of money you lose upon death is approximately 7% of the total amount you're currently carrying. While there is some variability on the Internet about what this % is (5%, 7%, 10%, etc.) the top voted answer here seems trustworthy as the user ran 3 separate tests all in a row.

What determines time spent dead in League of Legends?

Question

I've just started playing League of Legends, so I'm getting plenty of first hand experience with being dead. However, I haven't figured out what determines the length of time I spend in limbo, does anyone know the time amounts and/or the formula to determine how much time my X number death will cost me?

Answer

Champion Level and time spent in the game are the main factors (longer games = longer death timers; higher level = longer death timers), and then reduced by Masteries and some Quintessences. Karthus and Kog'maw get reduced death timers because of their passives (reduced by an amount equal to the time spent dead but not yet out of play).

As far as I'm aware, there hasn't been a calculated formula for champion death time yet (at least, one known by the players).
