valid "Elimination" game mode

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

To be honest with you, I would keep ASL and RGB modes and add this mode too.

Thanks for liking and supporting my idea on this game mode. I hope that the elimination game mode gets implemented in Tanki Online at some point. This mode is very interesting and works in a completely different way. Matchmaking round for this mode could be something like 5 minutes for each round. The last player in each round would be eliminated. Just read page 1 thoroughly to find out more how this game mode is suppose to work.

 

The Elimination game mode also needs to be added to pro battles as well. For daily missions, there is a need to earn points and experience, plus crystals and supplies by completing daily missions on this mode. The Elimination game mode will also be benefit to bring new types of daily missions. In daily missions, the Elimination game mode would be abbreviated as "ELM" for short, of "Elimination".

Well now matchmaking battles are 8 minutes. Guess what's also 8? The number of players on each team in a Matchmaking battle. 

 

So that means each round of elimination should last 1 minute.

I am not sure if weather each round would have to be one minute or more but developers would have to figure out a proper way to balance the amount of time for each round against the total time for all rounds.

Too much eights in the MM. Devs will probably shorten it to 7 minutes. Edited October 18, 2018 by GorgoBlesk

Yes, I've played elimination in other games, too. But here there is one BIG problem......MMS

 

MM will put you into a game that only has 2 minutes or less left. A player is going to have to work like Hades to get enough kills to get out of last place. If not, the player is eliminated through no fault of his own. This alone will make the battle unpopular. If the player in last place quits, then the next one would be eliminated. But supposing that player left, too. You could have players leaving left and right until it's down to one or two players. It would have to be made so that no one can leave the battle until eliminated.

Yes, you could have players that leave the elimination rounds, but in matchmaking, the system must immediately replenish the empty spaces where the players left, so that both teams can be full and balanced.

In order for MM to do its thing, the battle has to be popular enough for people to want to play and stay in the queue. If no one clicks on "Elimination" mode, then MM can't fill the slots. This sounds like a mode that has to be almost as popular as CTF.
