Despite playing the game of over a month I am yet to play a PvP elimination or skirmish match simply because nobody plays those modes. Searching for a game for 10 minutes without ever finding any players is a waste of time and a big flaw in this game. This situation is made worse for us Australian gamers due to the low numbers on the Australian servers. Dominion seems very active and I have no problem getting into a game there. I think this is due to the game putting players who select the quickgame option into a Dominion playlist.
In order to breathe life into skirmish and elimination, I suggest rotating the game modes available via quickmatch. Why not allow the lobby to vote for a game mode as well as the map they wish to play next?
I think this change would bring some variety to the game without needing much to change.
I’m on the Xbox FYI
