Remove Deathmatch from 8v8

Avran_Sylt

Domination, Crazy King, Chaos Ball, that other Chaos ball where you transform into a beast

All of these involve movement around the map, or whose objective has a limited duration (and in the case of the chaos ball variants, healing is diminished with the ramping damage).

Generally speaking though, modes where sticking in a stack is somewhat detrimental compared to the ability to secure objectives. (two 4 stacks can capture more objectives more quickly than a single 8 stack, or one 4man can impede the 8 stack while the other 4man captures objectives).


That is not Deathmatch.
That's just ballgroup gameplay.
It's a pain.

(I'd also suggest making the polymorph chaosball the standard one, as it seemingly reduces a teams effectiveness the more objectives they hold at once via the limiting of abilities).

Again, I really didn't like the spawncamp that an 8v8 Deathmatch turned into.

(from a new 8v8, losing matchup)

Why did they change deathmatch to begin with, imo it is such a dumb change. Now if you die too early and your teammates stay in spawn, you will be removed and get deserter penalty.

In the same idea, Domination & Crazy King don't fit at all for 4v4 because the maps there are too tiny allowing winning team to roll way easier than before because they just have 10 meters or less to do to go on others points which also cancel the possibility of the losing team to capture while the other team are away.

I never been someone who wanted a deathmatch only queue but somehow now I really feel like 4v4 should only be deathmatch.

Anybody who had any experience in battle grounds before the update knew that having only two teams was going to be a big problem as soon as it was announced.

But since we know BGs can have 16 players, it seems like having a battle of four teams with four players each would've been better.
