but I fear this would split up the other queues too much
Easily solved. Instead of having 3 different game modes you can choose between for each queue (assault,skirmish,conquest), each queue would be set to "any".
So in theory you could have only 2 different queues. Stock and custom. For that matter now you can have another queue -> Pug only.
Atm its not at all necessary to be able to set your game type. In fact its adding to the problem of cheese builds. Right now you create your own custom cheese build and focus on one match type, therefore further focusing the cheese because you dont have to address your weaknesses. For example why worry about speed at all if you only play skirmish. You pack on your best cheese and just run in the deathblob. However if the next match you play an alpine conquest round, well that situational cheese build your running now has disadvantages.
