It should be like ranked doubles with slayer only.

Yeah honestly someone is sabotaging the game I don’t know who thought this would be a good idea.

The worst part about Lone Wolves in H3 was the annoying, luck based objective modes. It’s great that they added ffa but it needs to be Slayer only like H5.

yeah no it definitely is not good for the health of the playlist at all, haha. Agh… Good for farming KPM I guess. Doesn’t matter if you lose though.
Yup! ------ - Agreed!
I had one game of FFA tonight, and it was KOTH.
I actually had a heap of fun. Came second!
But I can see why it shouldn’t be a ranked game.
They’ve added FFA ranked ?!?
I went and played some games… you are quite right it needs to be removed. H3 wasn’t this bad, it had its problems with players partying up to win with first and second but this game on infinite does not work.
Problem with this iteration, you can spawn anywhere on any map and be at the hill in under five seconds. So the player in the hill doesn’t stand a chance. Bombarded by 5 players on a constant tap.
I would suggest ways to improve but I think the best bet would just be to remove it as it’s completely flawed.

It would work better if you had an overshield while in the zone.
You could even make it boostable by killing people from withing the zone. Like the FFA oddball - but this time VampireZone.
But it still probably wouldn’t be fit for ranked.
They could try turning off sprint !?!
It absolutely needs to be trashed from the playlist. I love coming in 3rd place in a 6 person FFA with a 17 KDA, 64 seconds of hilltime, losing to 0 kda and -4 kda players that had marginally higher hill time when the clock ran out. After that I’ve just been leaving every KOTH FFA that loads in. I’ll take the 15 csr hit over wasting my time in that game mode just to possibly place high enough to gain a couple CSR. I enjoy playing the game in general and objectives with a team, but running repeatedly into a slaughter fest just to score a couple points at a time, over and over and over until the timer ends is not a fun or entertaining experience.

It’s truly mind blowing that someone came up with the idea for ranked KOTH and someone else was like, “yup, add it in!” Pheww

Of the handful of games I had in KOTH last night I just didn’t go into the hill and played as if it was slayer. My K/D thanked me for it… and my emotional well-being.

Reminds me of the good ol’ days of matchmaking. Now I might have to go into it with that strategy. I wonder if that’ll lower your SBMM by getting last place every KOTH game?
Yo! Seriously! I was getting so stressed trying to get to the hill, even moving to the next hill point only to be dropped on my 2 or more players. It was absurd. I decided to go for kills only in one game and went 35 and 5. The game ended, and I lost xp, but I wasn’t aggravated…at all.
I mean, coming in last place in a ranked game and being happy…? What?
KOTH has been removed from FFA Ranked, and also increased from 6 players to 8.

Why would they make it 8 players?!
8 is way too many for FFA - you get third party’d and caught without shields/low shields ALL the time with 8 people.

That’s what I thought too, games were already pretty chaotic with 6 players.

I’m enjoying the 8 players it feels like H2 and Midship.
I just go for kills, anyone going for the hill is immediately carpet bombed by frag grenades and the winner always goes like negative 15
FFA OBJ has never been a good idea outside of goofy fun customs or something. In ranked its just a pointless obstacle to ranking up
Edit: They made it 8 PLAYERS? Who is signing off on this stuff lol wtf
