I enjoy competitive, but I can't play with my friends, because of difference in ranks. So why not make a knockout mode where you can pick 4 other players and play a max of 4 matches to get to the finals. The downside is that you might have to wait if your game ends fast. instead of 13 wins, make it 8. I think it would be very easy to make simple rules to make this game mode work. Winners can be awarded emblems, etc.
