Could make it a count down to avoid the guesswork/allow for short bursts of speed.

Actually, that could work. But I'm still against it.
--- Quote ---As far as accidentally dropping the ball have you considered changing your keybinding to one you don't hit by accident? It might help a little bit.
--- End quote ---
Oh, I meant as a future-event. I'm already raging about accidentally dropping the ball by going over the speedcap in the future if your suggestion is implemented. Sorry for the miscommunication.

It would be a massive waste to remove VIP and skyball from 2v2, 80% or thereabouts of matches are 2v2 and they really needed the added variety.

80% of matches shouldn't be 2 vs. 2 because it is vastly inferior to 3 vs 3 (and even 4 vs. 4). Removing those modes from 2 vs. 2 encourages more play in larger lobbies, where the game (and the modes) really does (or could) shine.

Agree on the crossbars, they should just be a rope with lights on it or something (not built by water hazard rope-bridge inc)
Those spawns would be terrible. Having to do a 180 to attack the ship that just scored and is now camping behind the spawn point, no thanks. Or I suppose i could take one of the outer spawns and let them snatch the ball and score again while I am miles away.

How would you tweak the spawns?
--- Quote ---Dust storm removal - yep and from dunes too while they are at it.

Hell no. Dunes master race. Dunes is an awesome map when you don't snipe every god damn match. Just don't sit in rows 5 and 6 and actually attempt some flanks (of which I am the king).

Getting more 3v3s would be good but I don't think it will happen without a fundamental (or a lot of incremental) change/s to matchmaker. Like removing the matchmaker part and finding something better to do with the actually now fairly good mmr/underdog system. And surely if 2v2 VIP and Skyball are widely disliked removing them from 2v2 will make people stay rather than seek out 3v3's?

Initial thoughts would be to take the outer four, turn them 90 to face inwards and make them shared. Possibly adding spawns as close to the north/south map border as possible in B and E facing north/south, also shared.

I'm fine with dunes as pilot, I can just take my squid and fly under it all. It's being crew that is the problem, even if explaining where the dust storms are every match worked it would be too tedious, as it is people don't listen 50%+ of the time.
