Adding social and ranked doubles to the game is a GREAT step in the right direction (a little late BUT good none the less).
My only problem with this is it doesn’t seem like these playlists have enough distinction between them right now (yet to see what ranked is but Im assuming it is the same as current social playlists just with the ranked settings, which is perfectly fine).
I want social doubles to be the fun casual side of doubles in the same way that rumble pit is the fun casual side to what hopefully what will be coming soon with ranked ffa.
This means adding the more non traditional fun modes to the social doubles playlist. This includes:
Team Snipers (S7 Only)
Ninja Slayer (Energy Swords and Grapple Hooks)
Rocket Repulsor
Fiesta
Etc.
Having these modes in the Social variant of the Doubles playlist will create a better distinction between Ranked and Social and will give teams of 2 (and solos) a fun playlist to play casually AND also a doubles playlist to take seriously with the ranked version.
Edit: Well it turns out Ranked Doubles is Slayer only so there is a distinction between the playlists. I stand by the idea that social doubles should have the fun non traditional modes I listed and ranked doubles should have slayer, ctf, oddball, koth and dodgeball.
