What I don't get is... people had the option to only play Bomb anyway. Why take away that option and instead force it upon everybody?
I don't have an answer for that because frankly, I'm not sure. If I had to guess, it would be that Ranked Secure and Hostage game modes were hard to come by. Those queue times were long, whereas, with Bomb, you were getting matches within seconds. When you think about other competitive games like CS, Bomb is the game mode players play when they want a more competitive experience.
