A bit of a personal take on @playoffthegrid.
Tournaments-
I think that if we have weekly tourneys instead of daily tourneys, it would make more people feel like the tourneys are actually important. Hexes wouldn't be a factor in these tourneys either, it would be based mainly on placements and kills would help only a little bit.
The tournaments need their own playlist for players to enter in. If we have weekly tourneys that are like the All Stars tourney back in November, then the game would gain a large competitive audience. I played in the All Stars tourney and that was probably the most exciting set of games I have ever played. Literally 10 teams were in the LAST circle. That's how tourneys should be. Not by just extracting hexes in a public lobby and farming bots.
Ranked-
We also desperately need a ranked solo-trios mode and a ranked solos mode. Again, in a separate mode from public lobbies.
Reason-
Having both of these things will split up the playerbase a lot. It would make casual players like this game more because there won't be any sweats in their lobbies, and it would make sweats enjoy the game more by facing against highly skilled players constantly.
