[SUGGESTION:] Combine Skirmish and Domination under same queue selection!
Do this and I will never play Skirm again. Domination plays absolutely nothing like Skirmish and doesn't deserve to be lumped in with it. Why would you not combine Dom and Acquisition instead? They're basically the same game mode. Please don't make Ambush the only game mode I want to queue for.
^Pretty much this. Except that I loathe Ambush most of the time, so if pub Skirmish is removed, there's actually no pub game modes left that I enjoy playing.
Well, I'll probably enjoy Acquisition more than Domination, but even with a changing point there will still not be nearly enough room for finesse, outmaneuvering your opponents, sneak hacks and basically all the interesting tactics I enjoy over brute force assaults.
I'd much rather remove Domination altogether and replace it with Acquisition. After all, it seems like it's basically Domination the way it should've been implemented in the first place. I usually queue up for just Skirmish, only adding Domination if I experience several waits of 7+ minutes. With Acquisition, I'll probably queue up for Skirmish+Acquisition, presumably making the matchmaker's job a little easier. |

There's no way this should be gated off to FacWar. If there's too many queues, kill Domination because it's now redundant if Acquisition plays well. the bias is strong in this one  , "no kill the one that I hate instead of killing the one I like". Domination is by far the most popular game mode.
Ah. Two things:
- Popularity is not a reliable indicator of quality. Spice girls were never a good band, even if they enjoyed high sales numbers of some of their singles.
- If I have about one hour of spare time to play, I can either queue for Skirmish and enjoy queue times of 7-8 minutes and get two matches or add Domination and get three matches in. If I do the latter, I'll get put in Domination matches 9 out of 10 times. Which means that even if I had preferred Skirmish, it looks like I'm a fan of Domination.
