New Queue Name Ideas (Let's Help the Devs)

Before we had the queues that were named Casual and Competitive and neither one of them described the modes very well. One had no ELO and the other did. Something similar to these modes is coming back but the names they were tossing out were Have Fun and Try Hard. I don’t know if these were the actual names they were planning on using or if these were just names they were tossing out there to describe the queues while they thought of better names.

Anyway, discussion about the queues can be found here and here.

I’d like to see if we can come up with some good name ideas that will describe the queues in a way that will make it easier for people to understand. I know one popular idea that will be tossed out there right of the bat will be “Quick Match”. Is there anything we can add to this?

The problem with labeling one of them “Quick Match” is that they don’t actually know if it will be quick. Will more people play the Meltdown/Capture queue because it has no Elo or the Incursion/Meltdown queue because those two are the more popular modes?

What if it was called “Rumble” or “Rumble " or "_ Rumble” ?

Technically it is “Chaos Rumble” without the chaos aspect of it, and minus Incursion. The description will be there to describe the mode just like when “Chaos Rumble” was available.

Like that idea.

In order to balance how many would vote that “rumble”-mode over a possible “competitive/tryhard”-mode I think it would be good to reduce the credit & ExP-rate one could gain in the fun/rumble-mode.
Still gain a bit EXP, still get a few credits, but not even half as much as in the rival competitive mode. This way fun-mode is truly just for fun, the more like a private match with even less influence on CR or character-rank.
That could be a good way to encourage more players to vote for normal/competitive mode/queue.

Just as bad as Casual and Competitive.

Is it really fun to get into a match and find 5 opponents way out of your skill? Most fun is when you have opponents with the same skill so that it’s not a one-side beating. If you really want to “Have Fun” without ranked matchmaking, there should be 5 AI bots against your team, not 5 unexperienced new players or, even more, 5 pros.

Therefore, if the matchmaking won’t improve drastically (somehow), I think the best solution is to name them straightly Ranked and Unranked queues. So that people choose which one they prefer without sticking to names that have nothing in common with what actually happens there.

And @Ganjamira . Sorry, can’t work. They’re using ______ Rumble for all of their special modes.

Posted my queue ideas in the “GBX is thinking about changing the queues”

Basically one queue of incursion called “Incursion” and one queue weighted toward Meltdown/Capture and faster match making called “Quick Match”
