Does Anyone Else Miss Being Able To Select Only 1 Game Mode To Play?

The thing is though, that even if I do play the objectives - neutering mechs pays out more and contributes more to a win these days (depending on the map).
The thing is though that any drop commander worth his salt should be able to play all the of modes and know how to play the situation... which is probably an issue for some players.

Want to run nothing but Skirmish all day erry day? They have private matches for that, and I happen to know that you've got a whole Galaxy of private match bros, Gyrok.

I did not have a 62 match score in any game last night. Chump.
Also, as I recall, that was during your amazing display of stupidity by doing a whopping 200 damage in an assault mech.

It is less an issue from the sense that my group can play it well...but when you have a 4 man that goes off to cap in heavy mechs it kind of screws the rest of you.

I can also provide screenshots of your toxic behavior after you ran off by yourself and died if you wish.

Yeah, I only map vote when Polar comes up as an option. I do like that they changed up the lance spawn points on Alpine, have had some good battles near the tower recently. Variety is nice.

Same argument can be made for Skirmish. Last guy in a fast mover runs away for 5+ minutes killing nothing.
In fact, I see the 'long game delay' more often in Assault and Skirmish than in Conquest.
True beans, and I have rarely ever had a match go beyond 7 minutes...Assault, Skirmish, or Conquest. The whole "lone light hiding" thing is way overblown. It's just not a thing, only in rare instances does it happen. (at least at T3 and T2)

If not being able to "choose" game-mode 100% of the time is the requirement, so be it. Backing it 100%.

I HATE hiding campblobwarrior online.
Not only can random affect my enjoyment of matches, they can also choose how I suffer for me. Nice?

I have to laugh at this its not the crappy vote system that has reduces wait times its the fact the MM has been un-restricted and can pick any tier1-tier5 pilots and throw them all in one egg basket match.

Meh...bad pilots took a bad position and we lost.
In that specific instance, 3 mechs moved to B4 to take a GOOD position against the enemy, while 9 mechs sat behind the downed ship waiting for the inevitable rush from crow's nest and got plastered against the buildings by the murderball.
Your T4 BS strategy does not work in T1-T2.
I would also point out that your entire lance had match scores mostly worse than mine, and I was focused <2 minutes into the match. What was your entire unit's excuse?
If you want to prove piloting skills, you can 1v1 me in a private lobby anytime.

Can confirm, pilots in T5 have ended up in my group queue matches.
Times for solo queue were never *that* long to begin with. Now, I still see waits in the 3-5 minute range regularly, and for me, that is not worth sacrificing the ability to play the game the way I want.

I think the only ones that do fell into two groups:
Group one wanted to only play conquest, and now they can't, and worse other people want to deathball on their conquest mode!! It's terrible, why would anyone bring something slower then 90kph and no cap accel modules to a conquest match?!!
Group 2 hated conquest mode, and wanted to just fight instead, and belly aches about the couple(like 2) mechs that run off to cap and blame them for losing the match because they didn;t fight. This group would rather lose to a cap while spectating dead after a fight then move from their default lemmings predestined path to hamburger hill, ****** rock, etc(the "center")
IMO these two groups were in a minority(by far) and the rest of us just deal with it. Honestly, the only bad matches I have are when the team is just... #yolo. IMO, conquest tends to have the most herding of cats, but it is usually fine and you get extra space bucks so whatevs.

I really wish there were more match modes, but as things stand, the player base is pretty clearly only interested in the same tired old "Kill everything" for every single game.
As a Single-Player gamer, I die a little inside each time I remember what the multiplayer community is like. It's ridiculous how much we want "new content", but it's never really new content, anyway. Sure, a new map, but doing the exact same crap as the last one. Kill everybody, get the fireworks out because this is a NEW AND FRESH GAMEPLAY EXPERIENCE!
Personally, I think that Skirmish, Assault, and Conquest should be randomly selected and force-fed down players' throats. This way, they're not voting on a map or playstyle made specifically to cater to their builds, and we might see some more well-rounded designs instead of one-trick-pony boats and powerbuilds. I'd love to see more mission types, like having one player be the "Baron" that needs to be safely escorted; or "Cross the line" missions where one team has to breach the defences of the other; or capture missions where mechs that have hand actuators can grab crates scattered randomly around the match and bring them back to HQ, but different weights mean that some can be captured by light mechs, but others need an assault to do the job... but as long as the community is run to be an e-sport "For competitive gamers only", those of us who just want a Battletech game and screw the leaderboard get stiffed.
