All Networks Move 50v50 deathmatch from Blockwars to Battle Arena

[avalanche362]

This might just be my personal opinion, but when I go to play 50v50 blockwars, im looking for more objective-based gameplay with strategy involved and because of this I get a little disappointed when I load into a deathmatch game. All the other modes have numerous different of strategies you can use for offense/defense. Deathmatch just feels like aimless killing which I think would be better suited for battle arena. Sure there's the race to get diamonds, but all the other modes have that as well.

It feels like the FFA mode that is already in battle arena just slightly more organized. Furthermore, 1 out of 2 deathwars games I load into, a good portion of people leave immediately (far more than comapared to other modes) and the game just takes even longer to complete. And since the giga playerbase isnt booming 24/7, you sometimes have to wait for that deathmatch game to end before another full game can start.

So because of this, I would like to suggest moving deathmatch out of giga blockwars and giving it a spot in battle arena. It just doesn't follow the theme of all the other blockwars games which involve building and reaching/taking control of some objective

I am not sure about this because (imo) it makes so much sense being in the BW lobby. The idea of team blue vs team red suits it way better than it would in the battle arena lobby. It would not fit the battle arena concept in my eyes as FFA is just a free for all and duels are just you versus an opponent. But with giga, it becomes a team game where everyone does their part to help the team win. I would say it's fine where it is.

I see you point when it comes to games taking longer to fill or to end. Maybe they should reconsider the amount of players for giga as 50v50 is really a lot. Maybe if it was 10v10 or 20v20, you would not need to wait as much and you'd get games a lot more quicker and often.

I personally disagree with the idea of moving 50v50 to battle arena since battle arena is purely based on pvp and the maximum team size is 2 players (in 2v2) but that is still a kind of duel. I don't think that Giga Deathmatch fits in that pattern since there are teams and the posibility to work together in a team.
