I am a big fan of 1v1 in this game and others.. the current set up with the 1v1 servers is very limiting having to watch game after game to then only have a chance at getting in the next match.. and if u have an average internet speed then you just wont be fast enough to play a game..
here is what I think could be an amazing addition to the game..
1 big map made and designed into a grid like fashion with each individual cell being a dueling area these are fairly large spaces to allow full movement..
the way I can see this being a hit is this, it would be like a hot join dueling area so you can hop between dueling partners at ease.. spectators can watch an complete over view or zoom in to particular duel.. this would stop the waiting to practice..
there could be a couple of built in features like an npc stood outside each cell of the grid with a few menu options for the duelers like.. No. of rounds, shout out of the winners and maybe a possible comeback shout out like (blue team is gaining strength)
with the current set up I could be in a 1v1 server for over an hour without a game.. (due no queing for next game and it being first come first serve)
Hope I was able to explain this in a way that truly reflects the original concept
