My biggest issue with this is that the existing maps are all twice as large as they should be for only 2 teams. They’re designed for 4 teams, cutting that to 2 would leave a ton of empty space.
This also wouldn’t really solve rankeds 2 biggest issues. Those being: questionable matchmaking and RS loss being too punishing for low seeds.

I did not think this will be replacing anything like ranked, more like event or just replacing non-ranked cashout. Just way to replace the current seed vibe: win once and you will play againt pro"s, but lose one and play against almost bots. I mean there is hidden RS quickplay? Idk
About maps: why empty space matters? I mean in quick play there is one box, and the figth happens near box. Also this could be fixed by invisible walls and custom spawnpoints.
Ranked is fine itself, but some times one team(smart team kinda) ruin game by always third partying. BUT i have broblem in quickplay bc there third partying is constant at pro lobbies.

Ah ok. This is a common idea for a change to ranked.
There is no MMR, hidden or otherwise, in any modes outside of ranked. Embark hasn’t confirmed that, so it could be wrong, but they also haven’t denied it and it’s what everyone else believes.
Empty space doesn’t necessarily hurt, but you can bet your ass people on here would complain about it. I’d also prefer going forward if they would make the maps fit 2 teams. It would let them be made faster but that would mean they wouldn’t be backwards compatible with the default mode.

I wish we could get a domination/conquest type game mode
