Just came off of a four loss streak, trying to complete beacon tasks. 3 out of 4 matches came up Beacon Rush. Once the Reds have the advantage in BR, there's just no breathing room left, and the match just feels unbalanced. Or maybe it's just the MM tonight, who knows.
Regardless, I much prefer having the standalone Domination option back.

Exactly! I don't want to play Domination at all, just BR but Pix keeps shoving domination on me. Both sides are unhappy at this "random" option.

The real solution to both issues is "the end of TDM."
ProblemS solved.

Against popular opinion, I actually like having it random. Dom and BR are so similar these days, that a little variety is good. Having them random also cuts down the number of mode-specialized hangars, which IMO makes both modes more fun. If one player can specialize, then everybody must specialize or just not be very competitive (on top of some already being non-competitive by not having the newest OP toys).
Sorry.
I guess part of is, that as a free player, I am leaning more and more towards midrange builds (I have RDB, Punisher Rhino, Zeus Carnage on my Android hangar, and hopefully soon I'll add Tempest Golem Mk2), because competing against Dashes (both blue and red) is getting old... I am a BR man myself, but midrange is quite suitable for Dom too, so I don't mind getting that mode either.

I don't mind waiting a bit longer - can't Pix make waiting rooms so you can find someone who wants DOM, BR or TDM or random (RDM). Maybe takes ten seconds longer till games start. Just join a team and when full, play.
Would that muck things up? Is the cause of this because there was a big imbalance of players in BR or DOM? Did everyone flock to BR or something?

That would totally ruin the UX of the game! It must be easy, no hassle, no stupid choices. Just hit the big red Battle button, and get to shooting without worrying about stupid mode choices! Just like... now... ahem, ok, never mind. |

No. Tofsla said there was almost exact 50-50 split between Dom and BR participation since start of BR. |

No. Tofsla said there was almost exact 50-50 split between Dom and BR participation since start of BR. Ok - so anyone know the reason for the change? Or is it like God trying to design a horse and coming up with a camel? Over-engineered, unnecessary alterations and probably going to spit in your face unexpectedly? |

From what I understand there was a demand for shorter battles and less complicated battles- some complained a lot about having bots left over and yet match ending due to beacons. |

In a perfect world, all three modes would exist separately and iOS and Android would all be on one server so they player pool would be big enough to support all 3 modes all the time.

Been saying this for a while now. Only difference between the two is iOS has to wait long for their update because Apple vetting is more stringent than android. With a much deeper player pool, I'm positive we android folks could live with that compromise. |
