Unranked duels with a big button on the main menu so new players know they have the option to try dueling, as many have no idea it even exists. Preferably using a hidden MMR for unranked dueling, so you still have good matches but without the salt and the pressure.
Also 3v3 or 2v2 ranked & regional ranked leaderboards please.
A lot of the newer players I'm coaching don't want to play ranked because the new held shield mechanics are overused. Why ban health regen and fleshwound if you're not going to ban something that's so good I've never seen a tournament where you're allowed to use it?
- unranked duel matchmaking is not a huge priorty for us, as there are duelyard servers that do the same thing but arguably better. I'd personally like to see an actual duelyard mode that prevents rdm'ing, which could help in this regard.
- team ranked is planned :)
- shields need some balance changes, crush is working on it 👍
