What can be done to attract more people play this game mode?

My impression is that DBT was focused on team modes, maybe it is time to focus more on Duels?

I feel cheated by the variable time limit. I like 12 minutes, but what i get is 6 or 7 minutes. This is a joke. In QL i am getting 10 minutes, period.

Another problem is what is happening after the match. I can only play like 3 matches against the same opponent. And the decision to leave is made outside of the map in a menu, enough time to think about not wanting a rematch. Compared to QL i seldomly getting a rematch. Also in QL i can just play my opponent as many times as i like. Also in QL i can see which people are on servers and playing. In DBT i wait for some magic to happen and i can’t estimate the likelihood of getting a game.

In Diabotical in the Play menu you can click on the Create Lobby button, set the visibility to public, set game mode to Duel Classic, select Duration: 10 minutes, start the game and wait for a player to join through the match list (this doesn't use or affect skill ratings).
