You don't have to try it. What about fixing the map repetition issue? I would rather play unbalanced and mismatched games on a variety of matches and modes rather than the same map over and over. Quit making us play the same map so much. Make it so the same map cannot be played more than 3 times out of 10. There are more than enough maps to make this possible. The maps reappear too frequently in a single session.

You can't be sure the other 23 players in your matches see that map for the first time in the day.
It is statistically close to impossible to prevent all 24 players from repeating one map 3x in a row.

The reason I closed it down was there were 6 different threads about the quality of competition in the group queue at the same time as my poll was running.

That to me made it clear that even though the poll was at about 80% approval - people we're loud and clear that they want some improvements to the group queue and the game mode selector change is one of the quickest ways we can improve it.

We have to try it

Whelp.

Guess we can wave good-bye to Assault and Conquest modes, then. Damnitall. I know why he's doing it, but when the net result is 87% Skirmish in the matchmaker, it's going to just bloody suck for those people who hate every single match coming down to nine minutes of Chase-The-Troll or a fifteen-minute stretch of torment watching the enemy team post up and insult the silly English kniggets. Blah.

Skirmish was such a mistake, and now it's effectively going to be the only game mode. Fantastic. [sarcasm]Looking forward to it![/sarcasm]
