They get more options to play rather than just MM (or vice versa if this gets implemented), if they get bored of MM, maybe hard to play, too monotonous maybe, they could play a few PRO battles, maybe not as the main source of income for low rankers (possible though) since , they’re no longer the main choice of crystal/exp grinding as was before,  but so that they could play PRO battles for fun, it would make PRO battles more popular in addition.

The system is the way it is to ensure anti-power-leveling and minimum required player experience to play pro battles. I believe that earning 57000 experience is not that big of a task. By the time one reaches the rank of Warrant officer, they get accustomed to the game and its mechanics. MM puts you into a battle at the earliest, but in pro battles it might take some time to find the right battle. Even if they create one, there is no assurance that an opponent is going to play with them for the entire duration of the battle. In MM there are always opponents to go against, even if people leave the battle.

But who in their right mind would power level when mm is around? It’s mm which needs fixing and a lot of power leveling occurs with the increased exp boosts in my opinion.

I don’t understand this part, playing in PRO battles needs a lot of player skill and cunning as you got nothing else to help you (in majority of the battles).

There is a waiting time in MM, in some modes you need to wait like 25-30 seconds and only a bit less at peak hours and even then there’s a chance of that time limit extending, only in quick battle there is a small time duration but you can’t select your preferred/needed game mode. And even then there is a 8 second waiting time at certain times. In PRO however, there is no waiting time at all and there is always a custom battle (non-parkour) at any time, however less there may be at some times, at peak, there are a lot of choices, you chose the battle you want, just press the battle button and you’re in, no waiting time. If you mean the time taken to chose the battle, you can just simply chose the option to display maps by their own names, then it’d be much easier to select your map.

That is the same with mm though right, you like the battle, you stay. You don’t, you leave. Also, the tendency to leave battles is more frequent in mm, as that is what a majority of mm players keep on saying...

As I said before, it’s the same with PRO battles, in mm however, in mid-small battles where there are like 8 players or less, two players leaving is a big loss (unless the opposite team is full of buyers - another downside of mm for new players) and until two new players join back, it’s going to be hard for the team with less players. And according to a majority of the current posts I see in the forum, players get dumped into teams with less players, almost finishing battles (2min left), flag count ratio being too high after joining (2:5 etc). In PRO battles, players have the freedom to check all these parameters before joining.

In my opinion, too many things are taken away from players just so the devs can prevent cheaters, which make up approximately 0.1% of the playerbase.

You need to start including the wasted time in MM when...

- I'm put into a battle and being spawnkilled.  Leave.  Wait for another battle.

- I'm put into a battle where score is already 3-0 for other team. Leave.  Wait for another battle.

- I'm put into a battle with 2.5 min left.  Leave.  Wait for another battle.

 

Get the picture?  MM is crap right now and needs a huge overhaul  Haven't even mentioned the ridiculous rank-spreeads... well, now I did.
