I wish more people liked this mode as much as I do. I think it should be permanent but I can see targem pulling the plug really soon on this one judging by the way things are going. Half the players quit on average, by time the match is over it is usually like 2 vs 2 instead of 6 vs 6.

Teamwork is definitely the ultiamte strategy especially if you got players teamed up communicating on discord or what not but that donāt seem to be the case. Almost every time I get queued up against clans or groups they all just quit giving me a easy win. The team guyās just donāt seem to like this mode and the players that stick around are usually randoms.

Iām seeing the same thing.
Itās funny though, because sometimes Iāll get stuck in a losing queue, facing the same group over and over with a rotating bunch of randoms on my team, but then this mode comes up in the rotation and suddenly the doom squad quits and us randoms actually get the win.

Exact same thing happened to me like 2 dayās ago. Facing same 3 or 4 players in regular pvp from a top 30 clan and then when slaughter comes around I gets a free win by default lol.

On pc you can tell HD users. Anyone with SATA and M.2 load in very fast.

The matchmaker went into dick-mode and keeps giving Slaughter. After three out of four matches being queued into Slaughter I just logged off. Iām not playing it. I donāt like the mode. I wish itād piss-off to the brawl lobby with it, where it belongs.
I was enjoying myself until that started. Iāll be glad when itās overā¦I hope itās over at some point. The sooner the better, IMO.

What if itās here to stay?
If they gave it a queue of itās own, separate from regular missions, like Patrols are, thatād be fine. Itās hard to understand why they didnāt do it that way in the first place.
If they leave it like it is, randomly harshing my gig in PVP, IDK. Iām not going to play that mode. I will forever bail on Slaughter mode.
Itās like ordering a hamburger and getting a hot-dog instead. This is not what I paid forā¦Iād like to speak to the manager.
They probably wanted to see a higher volume of playing the mode.
They probably could have lured me into it with unique rewards, like paints or decor.
The way they have it now, people like me who are not enjoying it, are also making it hard for people who would like to play that mode to enjoy it too, by bailing.
Itās a bad situation, and maybe a dumb idea in the first place to put it in the PVP rotation. I mean, why not put raids in there too then? Why even have separate queues? How did this not go directly to the brawl menu? Why do they want me to play this mode so bad that they just force it on me by sneaking it into regular missions? Theyāve never done anything like that before.
Usually these kind of things have some event tied to it, and those are always optional, and have separate queues, and often a build preference you are either warned about in advance, or you are given pre-made builds to choose from. Throw in some unique rewards and a theme, and we have a game.
This is like having a rogue bagger at the grocery store, who periodically swaps your toilet paper out for tampons.
Thatās been said a ton of times to them, I can only imagine that it doesnāt translate well or something.
Itās essentially pvp isnāt it even though you respawn?
They pretty much fall back on try something new which isnāt always bad but sometimes it is. Maybe their last slaughter event didnāt do well. So they might have said to themselves how can we get more people to try it? I really can only guessā¦
I generally agree with you.

That will cause players to be shunted and matches will take longer
I think itās rather simple to understand.
People have been asking for new modes in PvP āmissionsā for years.
The 3 modes I have heard over and over again through the years are:
- Team death match (which is basically slaughter)
- King of the Hill
- Capture the Flag
I would love to see the other two added - but they need to add build selection at the start of a match.
Thereās no good way to add modes, either divide the time period as in the active mode,this approach seems as unsettling to players as possible
They just need to add a 3 build selection screen like CWs.
Some players simply just quit, no matter what design they use,they simply donāt like it

Some people quit normal PvP just because they see someone else on the other team. Thatās not a good reason to stop development of PvP mission modes.

I canāt say if developing new pvp modes is a good thing or not, because players donāt have a choice and adding new modes will definitely have an impact on the old ones (lower probability)Not all players like or dislike the new mode

False equivalence (fake news).

They did the same thing with Domination. I hated it for a long time. But I will not quit and have one battle with zero kills ruining my KPB. So many players would quit Domination at first sight too. They finally accepted it.
