I actually quite like Crystalline Conflict. The matches are relatively quick but unlike with Frontlines I can't queue as a duo with my partner and so I just don't bother engaging with it any longer.

I wish the development team understood that not everyone wants to play this game as a mostly solo experience. You can talk to other players in Frontlines but not any ranked PvP modes which is a rather strange decision that further erodes opportunities to actually give clear, targeted tactical advice or just indulge a bit of friendly banter.
