Shorter games, for a non-competitive game it takes way to long. For example first to 8. If you bann people in normals already, might as well add some bots, because 3v5 isn't a fun game to play for 10 rounds. And/Or add a forfeit option. Shorter buy periods, it find myself always having to wait an additional 15 seconds...

Agree, the only thing I don't like of this game are the eternal games...

xxsnufflesxx

snowmastera great post! I agree, love the gameplay, but after 20 rounds... enough is enough

snowmastera Totally agree.. Maybe 10 rounds to win.. or 9

All the "new" games today the main idea is to do shorter matches ( by the phrase that today "all have less time" )

Apex max 23 minutes a match - Average 12-17 min

Heroes of the storm ( old game ) - Average 20 -25 min

Fortnite - Average 20 min

Warzone i' dont know, but shorter too

Overwatch - Average 15 - 20 minand so...

Why Valorant 30-40 min, and always my match round 43 min

i am liking Valorant , but the match duration not... and spike rush its not the normal game... maybe do normal game with less rounds to win. nothing more.

I definitely agree. I feel that we should have and unranked that functions in exactly the same way as ranked but isn't, as well as a casual which is maybe first to 7 or 8 and with bots if someone leaves a match. When I want to hop on for a game, I find myself often not being able to complete the whole game due to its length. I don't feel we should reduce the buy periods by too much as there is strategy and buying during that time, which can sometimes take the whole period. It would also take quite a bit longer for new players to choose a gun.

They said they were introducing a new mode that will be shorter. i don't know what it is and don't remember if its coming with the release but it is being made. Yeah, they could also add some sort of backfill if thats the route they want to take. The buy phase I see as fine since it gives a team time to straegize and swap positions if need be.
