Deathmatch and the Range still have the same issues they've had for years.
Deathmatch STILL has both a time limit AND a win condition AND no backfill.
Its supposed to be a warmup, but if someone has a better warmup than you, your own ends sooner. On the flip side, if you perform really well, you also still end the dm sooner.
If someone leaves (majority of the time its like 3-4 who do), there is still no system to replace them mid game. When a lot of people leave, it gets harder to find gunfights. I frequently find myself running around for a whole minute trying to find fights some times.
The time limit makes it so you cant just stay continuously warming up for however long you want. You HAVE to go back to requeue.
Remove time limit, let people join mid match, and remove the win condition. Maybe let people CHOOSE the map they wanna warm up on too.
Now for the Range, the only changes nowadays are in the basement for lore stuff, with the last notable changes being the REMOVALS of spike trainings and adding a giant floating target that, when shot, spawns the 4 floating drone targets that were already there before the change.
The range needs both those minimodes back, and the options to:
- Change how many bots spawn in "practice"
- Change the angle the bots spawn
- Change the distances the bots spawn
- Change from bots to agent models
Deathmatch and the Range have been neglected for YEARS. Please riot
