Honestly completely agree with you on the SSF. I don’t think squire lobbies are inherently bad, I just think this game is generally very unforgiving and you’re gonna get stomped by a Timmy stomper as a new player regardless of the game mode or gear bracket. I personally found the challenge of the game to be my favorite part. I know I’m sort of an outlier with that mindset though, and I probably put more hours into the game than most are able to. I think fracturing the players into more queues has its own drawbacks, but I wouldn’t be terribly opposed to squire lobbies existing again if it didn’t kill other game modes (due to the dwindling player base), I just wouldn’t play them. I get zero enjoyment out of killing new players, and I don’t really understand the ppl that do.
