For some reason every Public match I have played have ALWAYS been Conquest - my least favorite game mode. There has to be a reason. Can't really understand why. Anyone know something I don't?

[Corbenik]

You do know you can always click the checkbox in the drop down arrow right next to the Play now and unclick conquest right?

You can uncheck it. One need not play that mode ever.

[Glaive-]

Really? I almost never get conquest.

[EgoSlayer]

Probably people trying to get all their 'Lucky Charms' rewards for conquest out of the way first. I've also seen conquest for more matches than Assault and Skirmish combined.

Thank you. I have learned something new today and feel a little foolish. Again thanks.

I only ever get it, when I'm in something slow, my Zoom Zoom, almost never sees it...

when we get events going like the lucky charms event right now, you will usually see a change in the public queue games when it comes to wait times.

Some people actually like playing conquest in solo games, there's fewer deathballs, meaning better fights and there's actual logistics to think about if you want to win.

I play with all 3 modes selected, and conquest is 15% of my total matches. This change in frequency is a noticeable anomalous difference.

Seriously, assault and skirmish are the worst game modes ever. Two groups of cowards try to win the "Hump the Hill" contest. It makes no sense at all to play them.

[Kjudoon]

And it seems like there is a concerted effort to do the same thing in conquest mode. Dis iz skurmush mowd?. Just no step onna kaps.

Seriously... just stay in skirmish if all you are going to do is murderball

Yeah the MM will put you in any match it can find if you don't specify a preference by unchecking a type.

Thought the record holder was 62 or so...

however, we need a new title for our aging population here:

I leave it selected and rarely get it.
