Hi!
I love playing tribute, but since there is a very small pool of players on the queue it takes a long time to join a game (at least in PC).
To increase the playerbase of this mode I see two different solutions:
1) When selecting the game mode, instead of choosing Dominion, Tribute or Elimination, the player selects the "Combat" mode. While in this mode, after each game, the mode will change automatically. Hence, the players will play for instance Dominion->Tribute->Elimination->repeat
2) Voting option: Right now, after each game, three options come up to vote for a map. It'd be great if we were able to vote not only on the map, but on the game mode as well. Hence, the players could vote for dominion, tribute or elimination respectively.
I believe there is a large number of players that would appreciate these changes.
Cheers!
no. I am afraid not. How many ppl play skirmish these days? We have this kind of mechanic already for elimination and skirmish it didnt work. Whenever skirmish comes up ppl leave immediately. Voting is already a 3 option vote which should be for maps and only maps you want to select and not game modes. There is already quite a low variety within those map vote options. No need to narrow that down further.
If you want to play tribute you need to make it more interesting and finally make some changes to the gameplay that are overdue.Also, there are several heroes that are not worth much there because they are slow or do not have access to healing options (or simply not that many) with high mobility outshine those heroes in every regard.
Also they could implement a much better quickchat in order to coordinate your team more succcessfully. Who the hell knows what shrine is which from those confusing names alone? They could improve the game mode easily by now with all the suggestions floating around, but they didn't.
