The Optimal Team Size

[Evanescence 100]

A recent update the devs made in part with the MMS update was to reduce team-sizes from 10 to 8 by default. Many players disagree and would even go on to say that 8 is too boring. Do you think this change is warranted? What do you think is the optimal team size?

Depends on the map of course. 8 vs 8 in small maps is a real pain, teammates block your shots very frequently.

Stadium looks like it should be 10 v 10 and not 8 v 8.

I think one of the main reasons of reducing teams is to speed up matchmaking, with less active players in the game it takes longer and longer.

Just like some maps should have less than 16 in DM.   Sandal and Sandbox?   Mosh-pits...  not fun at all.

Shouldn't this be the opposite? If there are  more slots for players in a battle, then it will be easier to get in a battle.

40 players is nice isnt it?

Not really. The way MMS works, I thought, is it grabs players out of the queue until it has enough to fill the map, then starts the battle. Although now that I think about it, Ive seen battles start with only 2 players in it before. MMS makes no sense. Maybe even the devs dont know what they are trying to do :P

Yeah - it's counter-productive if MM waits for 8x8. 

battle should start at 4x4 and keep adding players as they are available. = Less wait time.

 

And do you really need 8x8 tanks to start a battle on Sandbox?

yeah when there are useless 4-5 titans & mammoth campers.

Its called DM? Or do you mean something else...

I think he means the option to 1 v 1 other players in MMS in different formats

It's almost like the game was designed around you being able to pick a battle yourself and this stuff was haphazardly tacked-on. But that's neither here nor there, the developers clearly couldn't put in the effort to program a simple list of what maps are available for each gamemode on mobile. Obviously they had to work in the tic-tac-toe bot, amirite?
