The new Deathmatch mode is ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE

4v4 with lives and rounds was such a terrible concept, and I knew it was as soon as it was announced. But it went through anyway because why not. It's terrible. I used to love Deathmatch now I dread getting this mode.
If one player on the team goes down, the rest of the match is a foregone conclusion. But then you'll get a match that's nothing but healbots and no one can do enough damage to the other team to get enough kills. You're just banging your head against the wall for 15 minutes. Having rounds breaks up the flow of combat and feels so jarring. Everything about this is bad. I can't think of a single redeeming quality. I knew it was going to be bad so I wasn't even going to play. I'm on xbox and I just started testing battle grounds out late last week but I almost didn't even give it a shot.

✭✭✭✭✭I can't count the number of matches I've had where people refuse to drop down to fight and just stay on the base, and not only when the round is going to be lost, but even right from the start--they just prefer to stay upstairs... Combined with the inactivity bug and the awful spectate mode (which I don't think anyone likes to use anyway), it's the worst BG mode by far. Also I don't like some of the 4x4 maps for Deathmatch, especially the round symmetrical Coldharbour arena and the small rectangle map with the cliffs on the sides, they are not interesting from a movement and LOS perspective, and there aren't any vertical levels either one those ones.2
