Any chance of making the next season 7v7? Quicker queues (especially on anz) and alot more skill based and less relying on bots. There's a reason pro leagues are 7v7. Even if it was just for the APAC region because of population

I'd probably be interested in playing ranked if it was 7v7 as it'd actually be something different.

7v7 would be a nice change from the very campy meta of Ranked at the moment.

You'd guess that with more open maps the meta might change too.

7 v 7 works well with skilled players in competitions etc but with the general rabble how will you avoid the opposites sides lemming trains/cap rush scenario? Split the difference maybe and go with 10 v 10 or 12 v 12 so we get some differentiation between various modes but still have enough vehicles for trip wires. Also What are you going to do with arty in a more open setting. Yes they are already restricted to 2 per side in Ranked battles but with smaller teams and more open play even two would be too many. Unfortunately that in itself is probably enough for WG to not make the teams smaller.

Could it be because most/all the players are Pro?

As I mentioned in another thread, the rank you have to reach to get any end-of-season rewards makes this mode hopeless for greater than 50% of players. Given that it is more expensive and time-consuming to play versus other forms of TX and you only receive the tepid rewards once up on reaching each rank for the first time, this mode is simply not worth it for most people, let alone the timeout issues.

 

All I want is for bonds to be issued in Ranked battles on the same basis that they are in regular TX battles  - everyone on the winning team gets a few - so that I'm not being actively PENALIZED for playing ranked, and to incentivize actually playing for the win.

For the ANZ server it would have to be 1 v 1, would not even get a game at 7 v 7.

Also would be better if run when clan wars was not on, the player base is not large enough to support more then one mode of play at any time (not including pubbie).
