My first fear is that they'll start forcing us Team skirmish and team training people to play more slayer. I really hate slayer.
Secondly, the fact that team training is more popular than team skirmish says a lot about the ranking system I think. Personally I play a lot more team training then team skirmish because... it's more fun. I can join a game and not have to worry about getting a useless team that's going to lose me rankings. Sure you can say "go play team skirmish, have more fun against people of similar skill and don't worry if you lose rankings" and that's true, but even buckling down and thinking to myself "i just went down again, it's ok, this system is there to help me" it's still a bit of a mental slap. I really really wish they would just hide our ranks. We don't need to see it. Make a matchmaking type that hardcores can play in and care lots about their ranks and leave the rest hidden so it really is just playin a game for the sake of it. Same reason bigteam battle is less popular, less control over the battle and there fore more helpless you are vs. a useless team.
Lastly, I wish you guys could track quiters and group them together, same with betrayers. If someone is joining games and quiting constantly, make efforts to group him with other quiters and the same if he is repeatedly betraying other people, similar to how you can boot someone who has doing a lot of betraying, but it eventually wears down again.
