Sigh. How are you guys finding the allocation of KotH in random mode this otherwise fine weekend? Since TDM took too long to find in Android Champion, and I hate the game mode, I went with random. I played perhaps 25 games this evening, and I estimate 5-6 were BR or DOM, the rest was bloody stupid KotH. Straight off the bat I drew 5 in a row. I mean, what's the statistical probability of that happening? In the end I really wanted to play more but just kept getting KotH. I was saying to myself, "try one more game, this time you might get a good game mode", but after finishing with 6 straight KotH games I just switched off my device and am heading to bed now.
So well done Pixonic, for not only robbing me of choice but also desire. Don't think I will play much this weekend with the way the queue is obviously favored towards KotH. Why would a game developer do this? Surely they must KNOW by know that everyone hates that piece of fluff. Do they actively want to drive their players away? For all their data gathering they sure as hell don't know the first thing about the desire of their bloody customers. I am pining for the times when they were two queues, one for BR and one for DOM.
Rant over.

It sucks. KOTH is worse than TDM. If I want to run around on a map I'd chose sonic the hedgehog any day.
Only glimmer of hope is that at the start of the last game 2 blues and 3 reds simply ditched their bots. If Pix keeps on bundling in stupid unpopular game modes I think that will lead to me putting the game down. I can't justify playing half of my matches in modes that I don't want to play and won't be held ransomed by offering better modes half the time. But this matter is much simpler than what Pix makes it out to be. Doesn't even need Adrian to go to Russia to discuss this topic. But again it wasn't on his agenda if I remember correctly.

I quit spending money (ok, I never spent much to begin with) when I started to get forced to play crap modes. I'll still rush to get out of the junk (KOH, TDM) to play what I want, but I'll be damned if I'll invest RM in this nonsense. The inmates run the asylum. |

Two more in development. If all bundled in you will be a in avoidance mode 67% of the time and even more if you get a famous pixonic run of unfavoured modes. The likelihood of getting a run of 15 or 20 silly modes will be real. No way I will sit there and patiently tank through such situations. In squad it's even worse and practically unawoidable. This is madness. The tail wagging the dog. |

That's all well and good, but most players don't like playing it time and time again ad nauseam. I don't mind it once in a while. Hell, I don't mind TDM once in a while, but five or six times in a row is too much. I always understood Random Mode to be just that: random. Four and five times in a row isn't random in my book. |

This is madness. The tail wagging the dog. And that's fine. I can still collect my supply line without playing at all. If what you're saying will be the case, this is exactly what I'll do. And I encourage others to follow, if they feel the way I do. |

Here are my last matches KOTH KOTH KOTH KOTH Dom KOTH BR KOTH KOTH KOTH May be an extreme outcome but this is when I am taking a break even though I would like to play. The grass is growing nicely outside. I will watch that  |

They'll get it when their revenue goes down.
Seems like not until then.
