A single round is too short.

I feel like these matches in CC should be best out of 3 or something. Especially with how easily matches can snowball one way or another with these broken LB's.

Also, overtime is stupid, especially with how ridiculously long respawn timers are. A team shouldn't win until the crystal reaches the end of the map.

Too short? I am having constant 10+ minute matches because warriors need 20s CC chain to be killed on the crystal cause they can sustain from tanks/melees that are trying to kill them and spam AOE stuns :p

No one is going to agree with any of this.

For proper ranked matching and not becoming a moba, yep!

Should be best of 3s

But uh, yeah. Ya know how peoples be :3

I understand what you mean! sometimes it feels like you could run back and win if you had another go, but I disagree on overtime. Overtime is some of the most fun I've personally had with the mode. It's sorta a common part of a payload type gamemode anyway.

You spend more time queuing and looking at loading screens than playing. The mode needs to be best out of 3 rounds.

Absolutely not.

The rounds are too short and its too easy for matches to snowball. Most of my wins have literally come from the other team snowballing after pushing the cart all the way to the end only for us to have a single player LB and wipe out the team. There's no middle ground, its too easy to win and lose because of how fast you can snowball and how ridiculously slow the respawns are. Forget the timer itself, the screen to black and the rez animation alone add several more seconds to a mode that is extremely fast paced.

A pvp match that can end in literally less than 2 minutes is not a good thing. Especially when you spend more time staring at the pointlessly stupid player cards and then spend time waiting for the spawn doors to open for the match to start.

Have fun with the 1 minute matches in a month when the queue dies down and you're waiting 20 minutes for a queue instead of 30 seconds.

A lot of the appeal to the mode is the fact matches can be as short as a minute and a half, average around 5 minutes, or don't generally extend past 9 or 10 minutes.

It felt like maps like Secure always drag on far too long, but with the current CC it's nice to be able to dip into it for a few tries a day and I have fun with the mode even if I end up losing.

No. Short is good. I'm trash at this and I'll probably just be losing a lot, so the shorter the matches the better. Just thrash me, give me my currency, and let me que for more pain.

Its not fun...I want meaningful matches, not 1 minute quickies where you spend more time queuing/loading/waiting than you do actually playing.

no ty

i think with best of 3, no overtimes, with total respawn per team would be fun too, but 1st the game needs to be balanced ASAP before this become a DRN SAM WAR fest

Yest thank you. The rounds are too short and the overtime mechanic is dumb as hell.

A single round is just long enough. You think I want to deal with some of these braindead players for more than a single match? I DESPISE losing because my team is too busy being foolish and focusing the tank instead of dealing with the annoying casters on the opposing side. I lost a match earlier because they kept focusing the WAR instead of dealing with the WHM healing, the MCH destroying from afar, or the NIN focusing our SMN. Do you REALLY think I'd want to do another match with those people? I'd rather have immediately left and taken a penalty.

The designers chose game length carefully and well.

How about no?

Knowing how questionable the matchmaking can be, padding out matches would just make it worse. If you lose the initial round, you won't feel very confident winning the next two. If you win the initial round, you'll just want to take your victory and be done with it.

Given the horrible balance of everything? I don't think they carefully did anything with CC. It feels like it wasn't playtested very well.
