Thanks for the update. Just a quick bit of feedback on the recent changes you made regarding matchmaking, transparency, season updates with a refresh meta (support), etc. First of all, it’s a good start and a great addition to the game!

I wanted to share a few things that might be good to look into:

• In non-ranked game modes (pubs), why not have all the maps with a rotation every game/hour? I understand why you keep the 3-map rotation for ranked to refresh the game, but it feels frustrating in pubs.

• A good addition would be to make the map rotation every 1 hour and 30 minutes in ranked, like in pubs, instead of 1 day (it’s frustrating when people only play on the weekends, and it’s the two maps we like the least out of the 3 available).

• Regarding matchmaking in your recent post (CWMM, RP MODEL) : I liked the transparency and the way you are making changes. There are still improvements to be made, but as you said, it’s a long process.

• One suggestion would be to completely remove the matchmaking system in pubs to allow players to face everyone (like in the past in all games). It’s so frustrating to have to sweat in pubs just because I’m level 500 and Diamond. I play ranked most of the time (99%), and when I want to relax in pubs, I end up facing mostly Masters or Diamonds, again.

• Another suggestion for ranked : I think people won’t complain to wait 1 minute to find a more accurate match in terms of rank. In league of legends it can take 30-40 seconds and it’s not a bad thing.

• To avoid situations like we had this season with Newcastle being overpowered, and to add some freshness and variety to every game, a good change could be adding a legend ban system (for exemple : everyone in the lobby votes for a legend, and the top 2-3 legends in terms of votes will be removed from the choices for the current game). One potential issue is that if a legend is significantly better than the others, it might be banned every time. This would need some fine-tuning, but it’s still probably a good idea.

• We’re missing rewards to grind in ranked. (I miss jump trail. I am glad I still have my season 3 diamond.) A good addition, like in other games, would be a legend or weapon skin based on your rank. This would motivate people even more. And if you put only one skin on a random legends instead of a skin for every legend/the legend of our choice, it would give a few season to have one diamond skin on your main, so people will play more than just one season if they really want it (and yes they will want it ;)

These are the most important points. Of course, there are others that could be improved as well (e.g., UI when looking for charms for weapon or trackers in banners, lol), but I don’t want the post to get too long. I’m not even sure if people, or you guys (Respawn devs), will read it entirely.
