Hello. Havent seen a dedicated 'proposals' topic, so I'll just drop this idea as a stand alone.

One of the most tedious things now is waiting for a match. You select your mech, click what type o match, wait, wait wait wait. Theres the match! Wait, wait, wait, wait, Ok its starting. You move get shot maybe you even survive. Then you wait, wait, wait, wait. OK the summary. Click exit and wait, wait wait...

Everybody knows this, its nothing new It happens in many games like Counter Strike, which has pretty much the same gameplay mechanic = one life, one round.

We waste most of our time waiting for other players. Lets learn from other games. Lets play a best of three.

So when we finally find our players we play one round (get demolished or not), get the cbills, and play another quick rematch without choosing another map and players (instant time save) or vote for changing the map.

I think it could work.

Cheers :angry:

Actually a good proposal, but ... what if its a stomp first game. Pretty sure another stomp is coming.

Could you not just trace the moving circle with your mouse like a normal person?

Ha Haa, you got a spy camera here somehow?

I hate the waiting, it more or less cancels out the effect of my premium account, i.e. 5 minutes in game, 2 minutes in between.

Not sure I'd be up for 3 games in a row, it becomes a commitment and I suspect you'd get disconnects. But given that the majority will go straight into a next game, there must be a way to preemptively seed the next match whilst still in the current game? Perhaps have a "more please" toggle that you can switch off when you don't want to be seeded for the next match say.
