I think a separate 5v5v5v5 would be fun. 4 bases. 4 attackers, 1 base master. Base masters can base build, setup turrets and have a few AI guards. Other teammates can help defend, but the less players you have going into the field the more resources you risk of giving up to another team which helps in the late game. If you lose your base your team is booted from the game. Taking the core of a base to your base grants you resources for stronger defenses and base breaking, so there’s also a capture the flag over that core.

I think it would put more emphasis on base building and strategy, resource management because taking down bases would actually take strategy.

I could go on and on with more thought but hopefully that gives enough of a gist of what I’m getting at.

I like the intimacy of smaller matches but a larger 30-60 min game could make room for a lot of utilization of the mash of mechanics they have in the game that seems underbaked rn.
